Very smooth and polished for a Game Jam game!

Also fun variety to play a story based game that fits the theme so well!

Pretty good! I really liked my experience in this game, however I feel like it lacked some kind of mechanic to make it more game-y, if you know what I mean. As of right now, It seems like the game is more like an interactive narrative. This is fine! But I expected some kind of mechanic for a game like this like "make the correct decision" kind of thing or you'll be punished. This complaint I have is really just my opinion it doesn't really make the game objectively worse so it's totally fine! The rest is really well presented and I feel like you have something really enjoyable here!

The game is really creative on the way it presents it's idea and narrative and I really loved the dialogue and jokes! It also fits the jam's theme which is great!

Visually, the pixel art is really well done and the animations are cool. Love the sounds and feedback you build with all the shaking camera effects and VFX. It makes all the experience a lot more impactfull, especially at the start! I really appreciate you took the time to put prompts like "Press Spacebar" and "E to interact". Really cool details that add up to great accessibility for the player! The only thing I wish was improved here was the font. I felt like using a "pixel-art" font would fit in sooo well! But again, just nitpicking :)

Overall, you've got a really enjoyable experience here! A narrative game with multiple choices that build an interesting premise that fits the jam's theme. With creative and funny dialogues, the visuals complement all the experience with a great touch of impactful animations and UI that make the whole gameplay a whole lot more immersive! I just would love if you added some kind of mechanic to the game buuut again, just my personal preference. I completely understand if that's not your vision for the game, and I totally respect the decision to make it more narrative based! Good job and congratulations on the submission! You've got something with potential here!

I’m on my phone so I can’t download the game rn but I’ll check it out later! The game visually looks incredible and the story sounds like a cool concept! I can’t wait to discover the lore and why a cute little white bunny is in the game XD also WELL DONE! Making a game in 36 hours must have been so stressful!!!

Thank you very much! This was a one-man project so it was definitely a challenge, but I had a blast and I'm glad so many people like it!

36 hours?? Props props props to whoever made the art and sprites! All those different animations man. The story was silly and fun, the writing was engaging, I had so much fun replaying to get all the different reactions. Everything was so solid! As other comments have said I would love love love to see this expanded on in the future!

Really fun concept with great animations and writing! Would love to see this expanded :)

Developer

Thank you, I'm excited to keep working on it!

Good work on this one! I really enjoyed the intro! Very fun idea and nicely executed with the sounds and timings. The only thing that made me lose immersion was the font, since everything else was very pixelated, but I also get why you'd chose clarity and readability. But I still got the feeling. I loved the humour too. Great work!

Developer

Appreciate the feedback! Yeah I was meaning to change the font but ran out of time before I could find one I really liked.

AMAZING! Would love to see expanded on with more levels!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'm planning to expand it more sometime after the jam is over. Especially after getting so much positive feedback around it!

That was amazing, congrats to everyone who made this, in 36 hours !!!!.
It was short simple and full of humor + we also left you some live feedback on your comment on our post:

You can check out our game whenever... we would love to hear your opinion, but seriously GREAT JOB

Developer

Thank you very much, and it was actually just a one man team for this one! Really appreciate your feedback too, I'll definitely be working on that. Also, I checked out your game last night and thought it was fantastic! Really stressful and fun, with an excellent atmosphere and aesthetic.

Thank you very much! Construct was actually the first engine I used so it's what I'm most familiar with (though it can still drive me crazy at times XD).
