Great game. I was wondering was there any music? Did it not work for me? Great jam!

Submitted

Such a precious game. I knew where it was going, but I couldn't help tearing up at the end.

Absolutely loved the sprite work too!

Submitted

This game was beautiful!
I loved the use of the balloons.

The art was cute and felt perfect for this

The story was  just beautiful and the ending gave me a little tear.

Absolutely loved this silly game jam game.

Submitted

Super cute game. The balloon mechanic is so cute and fun. I want to put the little old dog sprite into my pocket. The extra balloons is a game changer. 

Submitted

Sweet game. After some balloons I was mainly spamming the up button to get past the things haha but the concept is pretty good. Loved how everything fits together, only missing piece there is a chill song in the back.

Good job!

Submitted

Dang I'm sad now, good game.

Submitted

oh no, I see we both wanted to make ppl sad about dogs and you got me in that bittersweet way.

I loved your cute goldie sprite and I knew what was coming story-wise but still wanted to see goldie's story through to the end. I'm not great with puzzles but I didn't struggle too much and "dying" didn't feel punishing enough to make me want to stop.

Amazing level design with a really creative and heartfelt interpretation of the theme its awesome you should be very proud of it

Submitted

Ok, so I didn't plan to cry on a jam game, excelent job guys, you made a real treasure here.

Submitted

I think this is my favorite game from the jam so far!! I loved the gameplay and the interpretation of the them, it's so beautiful! Great work, and that ending  ;--;
Nice job!!

Submitted

I love this game so much, thank you for making it

Absolute highlight of the jam so far

Submitted

I didn’t manage to make the jump to the second platform (it doesn’t seem solid) :/ Despite that, I loved my play session. The game is extremely cute, and the gameplay is creative and works perfectly!

ahh I encountered this bug once but didn’t have time to fix it during the jam (seems like it happens rarely but I can’t figure out exactly what causes it), sorry about that!

Submitted

Played it together with my girlfriend and it got us both teary at the end. Lovely story, I really enjoyed it, also amazing interpretation of the theme!

Submitted

Cute and heartfelt. This game could use some music to really bring it all together. It’s always cool to see what else people are building in GBStudio.

Submitted

Super cool, like how you made it playable in the game boy, and the lack of music doesn't really hurt it, super charming and fun platformer game.

Submitted

Super fun, took me a while to get used to the balloons mechanic (just too used to regular jumping I think). But was a nice challenge once I got that down, and the rooms were setup real nice to force you to move certain ways.

Overall really nice work, well done.

Fun and not too hard, but very cute idea. And yes, a little sad. But worth it!

Very cute artstyle. I love that you left colour pallete choice!

However, I didn't manage to see how this fits the jam's theme...

Submitted

What a fun little platformer. I liked the story it told. Good job!

Submitted

Great level design, could benefit from a bit more audio.
