Yes - I'm new to game jams!

How does your game fit the theme?

This was really cute! Not only did I get a kick out of it, but my seven year old loved it as well. 

I love the style of the sprites, and the little town was goofy in a fun way - I especially liked the extra signs hidden around the world that broke the 4th wall.

Suggestions:

  • You may want to try constraining the aspect ratio for the game. I noticed that making the window bigger also increased the viewport, and I'm not sure that was on purpose
  • You may want to try turning off vertical gravity while climbing ladders, so the player doesn't immediately fall super fast if they let go of "Up"
  • There was a part where Debbie(?) was telling us about the roof guys where she would point us in the wrong direction - I don't know if that was intentional, but I thought I'd give you a heads up.

Over-all, super fun! Great work for your first jam! You should definitely continue making fun games!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you and your kid enjoyed it. Thank you also for your advice and suggestions. The ratio was something I didn’t have time for, but something I do want to fix. I noticed the Debbie bug after I posted the game. So I will definitely try to fix that when I update the game.  I’ll work on climbing as well. Thank you!

Made the mistake of moving the volume bar to the maximum level… I don’t recommend that.

Besides that FOWL mistake of mine, I have to say, I enjoyed the game, the dialogues were funny and charismatic, can’t believe you guys even hired great Lario from that Italian show of plumbers.

Besides that, I have to be honest, there was this bug that you may want to fix in the future, sometimes one of the dialogues is stuck and you can’t talk with other character… It’s not really a big deal since it’s not kind of easy to happen, but yeah, just wanted to give some heads up, since at the end of the day, that’s what we are here for, to enjoy some games and give good feedback :D.

Developer

Yeah, I was having a whole lot of bug issues with the dialogue I wish I had time to fix up. If I get around to updating the game I’d definitely get that fixed. I’m sorry about your ears. I’m glad you enjoyed my silly little game! Thank you so much for playing!

Was afraid it wouldn't work with the previous comment, but it works for me on Windows 10! Simple concept but definitely fun to play! With the AI thing, have faith in your own writing, it is fine if it isn't perfect (especially for your first game ever). Very well done and hopefully you will keep making games! :)

Developer

Thank you so much! Your comment makes me so happy. I’m glad it worked for you and you found enjoyment playing it. I want to make more games! I’ll take your advice with me in my game development journey! Thank you for playing!

I can't play it, there's only a black window with a music :(

Oh nooooooo! ;-; I’ll have to look into that. My brother was able to download and play it on his computer so I assumed it was working. Thank you for trying!
