How does your game meet GBJam's theme
Our main game mechanic is all about searching for gold using a wayfinder. We also matched the colors to an "old gold" look

This game is good. I couldn't find the other two coins. But, one visual improvement I think you should fix is the kid's bedroom. I think you should have the staircase railings over the kid so that it looks like he's about to go down stairs and maybe have him animated to go down the stairs when he touches the stairs. It looked like he's floating in the air. Also, you could turn up the volume bit more since it feels low when I had the default volume set to 10 in my headphones.
Really pretty, I loved the palette as well. The wayfinder mechanic was fun, great job!
💛 Happy you enjoyed it
The only thing I *didn't* like was how short it was. I'm waiting for the full game with bated breath!
😅 lol, thanks for the praise!
The art was lovely, the keyboard controls felt a little awkward but I haven't seen a comfortable mapping of GB controls to keyboard and mouse. I loved the way finder mechanic, makes me want to experiment with point and click now.

I agree, there the controls feel a little off to me too. but im glad we could inspire you! Thank you for playing :)
Wow! Beautiful game! The art work is stunning and the feel is great. I was disappointed when I got to the end because I just wanted to keep playing LOL. I will be returning for sure to play it when you expand!
Thank you for the kind words, I hope we can create a fun story in the end!
Just an art piece. Great game!
Thank you for testing it out <3
Art wise especially you really really nailed it, it looks so utterly charming and I love the story that is sprinkled through with looking at things! It is very visible you two put a lot of love into this game, and it definitely has potential as a full game, super well done! :))
Thank you so much Big Mustard :D
The art style is great and consistent.
The gameplay feels like it's actually designed for the GameBoy. So many commercial console (PS!, especially) point-and-clicks just plaster mouse controls mapped to a controller, and this approaches it in a way that takes away the feeling of a shoehorned cursor, despite the viewfinder thing being literally said cursor. That's a feat in itself.
The coins are well-hidden in sometimes bizarre places, making finding them feel rewarding.
The unexplained prohibitions of furniture use call into question the quality of life in the custody of the main character's aunt, and perhaps hints at motivation for their dad to surreptitiously send them a letter to board the bus. But maybe I'm really overthinking this part lol.
A wonderful vertical slice of a game.
We both got a good laugh out of the furniture comment, I love that you created your own narrative behind our story! Also I'm really thankful for the feedback about the controls and wayfinder. There is still more work to be done but it feels like we're heading in the right direction!
This is great! I love the art!
This is great! I love the art!
I saw you were working to expand this and my mouth started frothing violently, Absolutely amazing lil game and I can't wait to see more!
Awww ^^ That warms my heart! Thank you for the future support! and we are very serious about finishing it too! I hope you remember and check back later
This was awesome! I really loved the artwork and the attention to detail throughout the game. The bird saying the fireplace was too hot was a great little hint as well. Super well done!
Thanks so much Lost Beach Boy! :D
This was overall awesome! The graphics are beautiful, and so is the sound. The only note I'd make is that I experienced a few bugs here and there when viewfindable objects wouldn't show up during some run attempts.
Incredible job!
We're so happy you liked it! Bugs were quite the challange for us to tackle with the limited time, thank you for the feedback <3
