I really liked all the pixel animations for this game! Also no worries, I had to cut things from my game too due to time. It happens to most of us during a game jam, you still did great work!

Straight to the point plot and goal, although effectively a little walking simulator I enjoyed what this had to offer. Reminded me a lot of the game "One Chance." If you're planning to expand upon this universe/game I'd be interested to see what you do with it! Above all else this is a nice game-jam game and props to you for going solo. Well done :D
My experience playing this:
For five days you got a lot done, definitely give yourself credit for that! Happy that you gave it a resolution despite running out of time and for working around the gas station regardless of the constraint. The pixel style was fun and the animations were great!
As a fellow sad story enjoyer, I like the plot. Also really like the sprite animation and the humor lol.
Cool one, I loved the animations you made and the humor ! It has a cool Inside (the game) vibe. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any further than the gas station :(
Thank you so much for playing! :)
Just making sure so I could fix it, do you remember in what way you couldn't get further? I just yeeted out the html version and I know somethings don't work properly there and I also feared that people might think that the gas station is the end but it is supposed to transition back after a few seconds and continue the game a bit more. Did it not transition back after going into the gas station or something else?
Yeah, if I remember correctly, I heard the SFX talking feedback when I pressed the action key next to the stairs, and the character was blocked for a few seconds, then I could move a bit more the character, pressed action key again, and the same thing again.
I think I will try out the window version today !
The intro dragged on waaay too long. The animations are fire though, I think that is your strength and you should make games that profit more from your animations. The characters where ok. Congrats on releasing this game!
If you have time, also check out the game I worked on.
