How does the game fit the theme?
I interpreted Strange Places as a strange place within a video game (on a meta level), and I chose the unusual setting of a loading screen :)

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Some small code elements, like saving, come frrom older project.
I didn't create the music myself and used sound assets, some of which I edited. A detailed list can be found in the credits.

last minute ranting here! 

This was super creative! I played all the way to the end, the narrative was nice, and the simple puzzles were really neat. I liked the one where you have to actually refresh the page, that was super clever. overall super solid submission!

I think this was the first game that I played from beginning to end - loved it all the way. The puzzles are fun and it's fun that the loading bar has such an attitude. I like the sounds - they fit nicely, specially the piano note when completing a level! The boss battle was cool.

It's so hilarious at the start, so moving and deep at the ned.

This game is cool! The interpration of theme is very unique and the whole game is nicely laid-out, the difficulty curve is on point, the dialogues are pretty fun! Really well done :)

That was just....awesome!
(both the the puzzles and the story - though, 16 and 20 were kinda annoying...just what you'd expect from a loading bar...)
