I kept getting stuck on the walls :(

Yes, that is a problem that most of my games have, I'm still working on fixing that.

interesting entry, but a few things :
- as has been mentioned, collision problems ! i mean it's not hugely important as you seem to be trying more to tell a story through a game than make an really fun to play game but still.
- the art is pretty neat, but for some reason I felt like the car sprite was a little out of place. maybe make it smaller or change its palette a little ?
- not a huge fan of the way the dialogues are presented. not only could the font be smaller but perhaps more importantly it should be clearer who's talking.
- finally, I'm not sure I really understood what happened to the character. maybe that's just me, but I think you should work on storytelling a little.

at any rate, it's still a nice effort, but there are a lot of things you could work on to improve !

Thanks, I was trying to set up a way to make the dialogue clearer but I ran out of time. Also,I do agree about the size of the font.

This was great at creating an intense mood and telling a story in a tiny amount of time. However, I didn't really feel the theme in this submission, which was a let down. As other people have mentioned, the collision is a bit sticky, but otherwise, the art style was oddly fitting, the gameplay was interesting. I liked it.

Nice job on setting the mood. It's a tad confusing but that suits a game like this I think.

This was interesting, and definitely a bit creepy. I liked the graphical style and sounds. I too got stuck on the walls a lot, but got the hang of it after a little while.

Pretty cool graphics. Looking forward to future entries.

Quite an interesting entry and something different from what I've played so far this LD, although I don't think it really matches the theme. I think you did a good job of creating a creating a moody / creepy atmosphere. I agree with the comments about the way the dialogue is displayed though and the narrative could have been clearer. That aside, nice work.

Thanks, guys, for the positive feedback. It was really fun working on this project.

Wild game! 16-bit style and a haunting plot. I love it!

interesting game. Very moody. I lided art style you used in this game, but I think I didnt get the endig.

Thank you guys so much for the reviews. I've actually started work on a similarly-styled game just for you guys here at Ludum Dare.

I found the game confusing. It looked nice, and had decent ambiance, but I didn't really understand what I was supposed to do.
