Just finished the game, it's really cool! Really liked the concept and visuals/animation, it as a lot of charm. Kudos for you for adding an small idle animation for the character too!

Cute little homage. I found the look of the game nostalgic and cute. The music was great. I did find the movement a little too slow.

Wow, even without the title or description, I'd know just looking at the art that this is supposed to be an ET homage. Nice work

Music was excellent, and swimming across the lake was harrowing!

This was really fun! I was expecting really annoying music, but I thought it was pretty good... I didn't mute it anyway lol The whole experience was pretty good; I laughed out loud when I went swimming at the animation! I thought the digging animation was very entertaining also!

Does the game get randomly hidden or is it in the same dirt each time?

Thank you for your comment.

I enjoyed making animation, and it is interesting how to make animation when restricting it to 4 frames or less to get that old-school console look.

As for randomly digging sites, it is a cheat. You can't find the game on the first three attempts, then it is a 50% chance on each subsequent attempt.

This is an interesting one! Your take on the theme is creative and excellently realized. I rated Visuals at five stars because they evoke the Atari 2600 graphics so well. It's difficult to rate the other categories, though - as a standalone game, it's not the most fun Trijam game I've played. But as a parody of the E.T. game, it's right on the money.

Very clever - well done!
