Oh my gosh I was totally surprised at how much I adored this game!! Ugh it was so funny and the animation and art?? And the soundtrack was banging!! I loved that there were so many expressions for the characters. I died every time the art style change (in a good way). Some parts had me feeling like I was on like an acid trip (in a good way). Such a good game :)

Omg, you guys always manage to make crack up so much with your games, simply top tier writing. Colleen makes for an incredible protagonist, and the zany hijinks with a crew of people who just happen to be there feels so good. Also you knocked it out of the park this year with the visuals and cinematography, its just such a delight. Incredible amount of artwork too, my goodness. Absolutely an incredible job, huge huge huge congrats to the team.

Dead AirOH MY GOODNEEEEEEESS absolutely amazing writing and character designs and sense of comedy, I was absolutely blown away by this game
(i absolutely exploded into laughter at the bad apple reference btw)
I loved how dynamic and expressive the visuals were, it almost felt like I was watching an animated show and I mean that in the best way possible
very impressive how much the team was able to accomplish with such a short time frame!! I'm looking forward to whatever you guys put out in the future :3
Oh! we were wondering if you had a submission this year, you're actually the reason why we decided to participate on this jam this year, you're a huge inspiration.
It's really interesting to compare this game with last year's, HUGE improvement with the entire art in this game, it's lunacy how much there is to it but I think I prefer last year's story better it felt more focused while still being quirky and I felt like it had less rushed endings.
but oh my god, the amount of work in art, I can't underestimate how much there is to this game, it's practically a full blown cartoon at this point just absolutely breath taking work, I honestly would pay for this!!

Blessed be the rubble"The boss only exists to oppress me at every turn, and serve as an ever present obstacle on my path towards enlightenment."
Very relatable.
Amazing and very fitting UI. The expressions of the character were so funny and the art style allowed for very dynamic moments. It was really like watching a cartoon. And the music was very fitting.
Nessie was way hoter than expected. I was glad I got that ending first. Tripping balls on an apple was so funny.
The mail girl never got an signature though.
Thank you for making this game. Laughed my ass off. The team did a great job!
