Having trouble downloading (might be my internet) But from looking at the shots it looks great!

Beautiful game, really enjoyed playing it. Like the use of the rhyming dialogue. Superbly illustrated. Would love to play an extended version.

aladine 2014-08-28 01:34

i really love the art style and the dialogue make the game a lot more... "alive" Great job man !!

mechanicmoon 2014-08-28 01:39

Nice graphics!

5t4mp5 2014-08-28 01:44

It's really good looking, and I really liked the sound. It's simple but feels very polished. Really good application of the theme too.

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-08-28 01:44

Really cool idea. Can't say I've ever seen something like it before.

nerd-burglars 2014-08-28 02:21

Very unique. You obviously put a lot of creativity into this :)

ramoncb 2014-08-28 02:22

Impressive! =O

Very polished and beautiful (and nice musics too)! Congratulations!

You should really make an extended version! ;-)

drstik 2014-08-28 02:22

Far too difficult. The parrot mini-boss killed me at least 50 times before I succumbed to a fit of blind rage and put my fist through my monitor. One star each for fun, humor and mood because going to the hospital is neither fun or humorous and now I'm in a bad mood. I liked the graphics.

midnightcreators 2014-08-28 03:10

Great job, really well done in 72h, very polished!

swiftillusion 2014-08-28 03:22

Absolutely loved it, has a brilliant whimsical style to it both with the visuals and the great dialog. An awesome interpretation of the theme and it had a great flow from beginning to end, each story was satisfying and sweet, great job :D.

ninjascript 2014-08-28 03:56

I love everything about this game! The poetry was a really fantastic touch. Bravo!

rrootagea 2014-08-28 04:25

A fantastic tale, so skillfully told, if this was contest, you'd surely win gold

impiaaa 2014-08-28 04:38

Really incredible! It looks like we might have had similar ideas. I didn't like that I had to install it, though.

rhy3756547 2014-08-28 15:02

Very nice - I loved the graphics and music! I played another game with the same gameplay style called Dead Land, which I also liked. I think the appeal is very much the same, you both have a charming story & setting and the puzzles are well thought out.

jannesn 2014-08-28 15:19

Nicely done!

hadesfury 2014-08-28 15:35

Really cute!
Congratulations on doing it on your own.
Though I agree on what was said above, installation aren't cool!

kibertoad 2014-08-28 15:36

Pretty and fun to figure out. Great writing.

slowfrog 2014-08-28 20:08

Great game. The graphics and music are really good.
Of course the mechanics are not new, but the story is interesting and fits the theme quite well.
And the fact that it's short is to be expected for a jam. But it's a "complete" short game, that's what's important.

lvyn 2014-08-28 20:41

Thats great :) I wish it was longer too ;)
Great graphics, nice mood, peaceful music.

dookie 2014-08-28 22:26

Ah very nice. Sweet little game with a lot of style! I would definitely play a much longer game with a style like this.

endingchaos 2014-08-29 02:14

Wonderful art style man!

nooner-bear 2014-08-29 02:21

Nerd Burglars you've said that same comment on multiple games.

nooner-bear 2014-08-29 02:28

That said, I'm glad you have had an eye for creative games. I just realized that comment could certainly have been taken the wrong way.

hbocao 2014-08-29 02:38

Looks amazing! The writing is pretty good too! I love adventure games, so it's good see one between the entries. Nice job!

01101101 2014-08-29 10:56

What the config required please , ... unable to run on my computer. Seven 32/64 bits ?

sanguine 2014-08-29 11:11

Amazing atmosphere! Really loved it! Had some problems giving stuff from my inventory to people sometimes, but that was no biggie!

mechabit 2014-08-29 11:14

Amazing entry, love the aesthetics and theme and artwork. You should definitely release a full version, I'd pay money for it.

fanatrick 2014-08-29 18:14

Pretty good, doesn't have any major cons.

jod 2014-08-29 18:36

That was beautiful. Great mix of graphics and music!

zerkruemler 2014-08-29 20:38

Fantastic graphics and music. A very creative interpretation of the theme. Well done. I had a lot of fun playing your game!

jomomomo 2014-08-29 21:36

I can't play on windows... any chance for a web version?

almax27 2014-08-29 21:56

Very polished, particularlly love the transitions between stages

01f0 2014-08-30 07:58

Very unique! I like the story and the rhyming :)
Much fun to play, great job!

jahmaican 2014-08-30 11:08

Brilliant. Top rates from me, I loved it, too bad it's so short. Make a sequel, now!

otrorainteractivo 2014-08-30 15:22

Awesome take on the theme. Those graphics are the best I've seen so far

nooner-bear 2014-08-30 17:16

I'm currently working to create a port to Linux

moosefly 2014-08-31 10:14

Really nice mood and even though it was short I was very satisfied. Especially loved the rhyming, wish I could do it too (hehe).

There were a few bugs / things I didn't like too:
- Lonley?
- Mouse to move, space to advance dialogue, why not just make the whole game controllable by mouse.
- The characters would say the line about giving something to you even after they had already given the item to you. I think this broke the immersion more than the other lines they were repeating.

I'm very impressed with the gameplay, well done.

catonmars 2014-09-01 02:33

I like the art style and simple story, although I think the puzzles are too easy and straight forward, I prefer more challenge. Overall it's a nice game, hope you could elaborate it more :)

oxyoxspring 2014-09-01 02:46

Beautiful art-style and incredibly well polished!

jedi 2014-09-01 09:44

Woohoo! Great game! The only problem I saw was that the NPC's would tell you to take things they'd already given away. Aside from that it was a perfect adventure game for Ludum Dare. Really appreciated the humor, the writing, art, audio and mood.

Great Job!

malf 2014-09-01 17:39

Pretty game I liked the graphics, the rhymes and the play

Too short , and it failed me , I wasn't able to give the pirate his parrot

spotco 2014-09-02 03:51

Really really cute graphics, but not a whole lot of content. Enjoyed what there was though (very sierra/monkey island/etc style)

vividhelix 2014-09-02 09:11

Short, but really nice. Appreciated you taking the time to make things rhyme. The art style was lovely and overall I liked the whole stage feel...Great job, one of the better entries.

ztiromoritz 2014-09-02 11:42

I really liked the wavering ship effect. Nice game.

lowcade 2014-09-02 15:25

Awesome game! I LOVE the art style! Great job!

artamus 2014-09-02 17:26

Very nice and polished game, congrats!

lokarunith 2014-09-02 21:02

Nice entry, with a + for it's original presentation.

igoramendola 2014-09-03 03:39

I had a problem with the EXE installer ("an error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.Xna...'"). That happened with my desktop computer and the laptop. So, I uninstalled everything, then I installed .NET from Microsoft's site and finally I could install the EXE without error.

Anyway... the game is really nice and it was worth the effort to install (although, I'm not a fan of installations hehehe)
Unfortunatelly, I couldn't finish it because the mouse doesn't reach to the guitar guy and I suppose the telescope is for him. I don't if this issue is related to the .NET previous problem.
But the illustrations are gorgeous. Also it has an interesting gameplay and the music of each place gives a cool ambience.
Good work! :D

kepamun 2014-09-03 19:12

Short and a little buggy, but it is a fantastic concept worth developing further. Well done!

razoric 2014-09-04 16:59

Very creative and great graphics! One of my favs!

dohan 2014-09-09 16:24

The game seems great, but I've been unable to finish it because of my outdated aspect ratio of 5:4. Nevertheless, I was able to play until I gave the parrot to the pirate with no much trouble.

jonathang 2014-09-12 12:40

Nice little story, well done with the graphics and the sound!

apiotrw 2014-09-13 16:17

Really good entry
