You made some really nice sprites!

Unfortunately the game boy feel is quite bad due to the different pixel sizes (mixels). Using a real pixel font (you can find some great free ones on itch!) and enabling pixel perfect rendering would do justice to your work ;)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback you're very right! We'll definitely look into it with the improvements coming.

A nice game. I like that you can play it with just two buttons."

Developer

We had to keep it simple thank you for playing

Funny, unhinged, and manic.

There are a few little things that I think could improve the experience. Like what's already been mentioned, a way to speed up or skip text on replay would be nice. Many of the lines are missing punctuation at the end, which made it a little difficult to read, in combination with sentences that are displayed over multiple textboxes.

I wish the text and dialogue portraits of the characters matched the pixel size of everything around it. That sort of thing won't bother everyone, but I think it would complement these environments and general aesthetic better to have that extra layer of consistency.

The background art is a strong point on this one. Everything looks delightfully deranged. The platypus moon was my personal favorite.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing! This list of very helpful criticism was very much delightful and thank you for giving us some interesting UI suggestions and improvement as we'll all be looking back at these comments when we go in to potentially improve it. Everyone seems to enjoy that lunar bit as well as the writing so you're not alone haha.

Funny dialogue + charming music and aesthetic. Good job! ^^ I think I got the good, but still yet bad, ending? Not sure.

Thank You for playing! Most of the options are unlucky, but if you get to the royalty I can say that's good enough.

Great drawing and funny story, Great work!!! I think in unity there should be some setting to make the pixel font more sharp since it was quite blurry, keep it up the great work!

Developer

Thank you! We're relatively new to this so thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it.

Very entertaining dialogue, I take it you're a Toby Fox fan? Love the character designs, too, particular Soupy Mo's. Solid game! I'll have to check out more of the team members' stuff.

Developer

Thank You! You got us indeed...but in the future maybe we'll have more stuff for you to check out too.

very silly - I love the juxtaposition of fonts - evil neopets vibes

Developer

Thank you for playing! It was unintentional detail but we're glad it ended up looking fine in the end haha.

I loved the music and the writing was funny! Seemed like the resolution was inconsistent with the GB restrictions, but the art was cool! Loved the Platypus moon.

Developer

Thank you! An interesting piece of feedback we will look into but thank you the moon appreciates the comment.

Great writing! Would love to see more of it in the future!

Developer

Thank you! You may be in luck, potentially...

Awesome game, great graphics and music, loved the twist in it, but next time, add a little skip button for dialogue after the first restart, as it gets looped over and over after the next tries, but awesome game, loved it.

Developer

Thank you! Our team will keep your words in mind

Well that was absolutely unhinged, in a funny way! Thanks for teaching me the word “monotreme”.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! The priority was making it as silly as it could be.

Ahahaha did not expect that kind of curse! Great writing! Just a suggestion: enable dialogue skips after a retry

Developer

Thanks for the feedback you made the person who's done the writing blush hard. 

We will work on the game to implement quality of life features like the one you've spoken of!
