Fun little story!! Fits theme really well and I love all the unique characters! Art style feels perfect for this game. Really nicely done, one of the few I've happily given stars to for narrative!!

Submitted

Fun game which fits the theme nicely. I particularly like the idea of having to reach for the wristwatch to get the timer, I think it replicates well the idea of checking the time when you're on a schedule, very in theme!

Submitted

Really cool art style! I also really like the watch hand coming up to tell you your countdown, I thought that was cool and had personality.

Developer

Thank you! No one has complimented the watch yet, so glad you did!

Submitted

Fun game you’ve got going. Was fun talking and trying to find the solution.

I’ve sent you some feedback on discord if you’d like to check it out :)

That was a fun puzzle. I liked the animation of the girl falling out of the closet. There weren't too many people or elements to be overwhelming but it still took work to figure out the optimal order to do things.

Critique-wise, there's not any juice or QoL stuff right now. This is a game jam, so understandable. But having a visual indicator that dialogue is done or still going would be great. The UI buttons and watch timer text feel out of place with the rest of the game's visuals. And I had to reload the game because I forgot what gifts I needed and there wasn't a checklist or reminder about them.

Developer

This is my first game jam so getting this done at all was the aim. Glad you liked it! Didn't have time to polish sadly, and if I make a post jam version a checklist will be added. Thanks!

Submitted

I really like the gameplay and the story!

Submitted

great job! i like the artstyle

Submitted

Neat concept and I liked the overall look and sound of the game. The narrative was pretty funny too. I just couldn't figure out how to beat it, because I got the necklace, scarf, and flowers but nothing happened when I interacted with her. Unless I needed to do anything with the hotdog person? But interacting with them always got me stuck in the corner until the game ended.

Developer

Did you collect them all in 1 run? And collect all 3 flowers? That tends to be the case

Developer

THERE IS AN ERROR WHERE YOU CAN LOSE WHILE DOING THE FINAL DIALOGUE WITH LILY. IF SHE SAYS YOU DIDN'T NEED THE GIFTS YOU HAVE WON. THIS IS A BUG WHICH WILL BE PATCHED IN A POST JAM BUILD.

Submitted

Really cute little game with lovely art! Definitely felt frantic figuring out what I needed to do and what order to speak to people in, very enjoyable! It would have been nice to have a countdown timer visible to know how long I have left and also being able to see what I've already collected would be helpful. Figured it out eventually though! Great work, congratulations!

Pressing "e" shows your watch

It is in controls in the description

I can't find the scarf? I grabbed several flowers and got the necklace. Does finding the girl in the closet unlock anything?

Developer

Yes! When she falls out the wardrobe, the scarf falls out with her!

Submitted

cool game, though i feel like i got everything i needed  (flowers, scarf, necklace) but i still didnt succeed

Submitted

Really fun. Although maybe a minute was a little bit too short. Took quite a few tries to figure out what to do.

Developer

That is the idea, it is meant to take a few runs to solve

Submitted

Great job! I love all the dialogue! Would suggest adding some more SFX.

Developer

Yeah or SFX guy had some issues and the stuff we did have didn't properly import, that was lit of our hands sadly

Submitted

Cool take on the concept. Would have liked some hints etc., especially on repeated failures. But neat game!

Submitted

Really polished and fun! There's lots of creativity on the character designs.

Submitted

Sometimes a minute is all it takes

Submitted

I really liked this game, I had a similar idea and i'm so glad to see someone else make it!

Submitted

pretty cool game, like that you had time to make music
