Cool game, was an enjoyable experience playing through it. Thanks!

Interesting idea, you make your choices and can't go back. Good job!

Fun Game

Haha, wow, I didn't expect this to game to be so long, that feels like a travelled a lifetime :) Well done, nice story and mood!

What an adventure! A small game that changes scope, charming graphics and excellent music.

duo-developers 2018-12-03 10:35

Verry deep

Interesting game with a good story although some choices don't feel like choices.

I can't play the WebGL version, it requires me to donate at least 1 USD to play

This is a really nice game. I enjoyed the story a bit too much, made me play the end sequence more than I originally wanted to. The graphics and music and sounds are all so nice and come together for a great experience. I can only recommend playing this.

interesting plot

shendev 2018-12-03 10:47

Yo, this game was solid, very impressive, no complains really, art, sound, and design very well done. Triggering events by going backwards was a little bit weird sometimes but thats about it!

I was thinking the written was really well done and then I found the 9999999$ key. What a masterpiece hahah. Good job!

Edit: I almost forgot about the old man from the beggining! Made me laugh, it set the tone of the game really fast!

@fat-cat - no -there's is a small .. just play button ;)

A nice game BTW

adrien-dittrick 2018-12-03 13:03

@ninja00283 your choices don't matter :p

blodyavenger 2018-12-03 15:26

Woah, really nice idea of not going back and a nice metaphor for life (was it meant to be like that?) :) Music fits well with the consistent art style. Overall, I enjoyed the game!

artbohr 2018-12-03 15:45

Very fun game, enjoyed it to the end, good job.

ccglp 2018-12-03 16:42

It's a great game, the beginning set the tone very well and towards the... ยฟend? the game feels very fresh and polished. I liked it a lot, good work :)

Really fun game. Only thing I didnt like was the ocassional walk to the other side of the screen to activate the next scene. It felt like it slowed down the pace a little. Other than that really good.

Very entertaining! I love how this examines the gameplay of 2D platformers and the sprites are adorable, especially when jumping and wearing a tophat. The audio is great too and I love the humor!

simonthecase 2018-12-04 01:15

This is really great! I loved all the dialogue and the story. Good job

muzzz29 2018-12-04 09:36

Loved the plot, music and the art a lot. Really well done on this one!

erebus 2018-12-04 09:45

Awesome game! Really liked the art and story!

hare-software 2018-12-04 13:42

Very good story with interesting game play, well done!

morg 2018-12-05 09:28

I liked the social kind of commentary throughout the entire game and I think it was really solid. Really simple mechanics but executed extremely well and had me laugh and cry in frustration many times. really solid game! One of the best I've played so far.

2018-12-05 14:19

Really really nice game, the best I ever seen in this jam ! You're a real artist, and this experience is amazing. Thank you for that ! :)

craftlord 2018-12-06 15:04

Great one, well done!

nicmagnier 2018-12-06 22:46

Really cool submission. I really didn't expect the story element. The player really goes through a journey which is really pleasing and keep you engaged. The game mechanic are simple but enough to keep you going.

Somehow playing it reminded it of the game Passage.

Really well done.

krassenstein 2018-12-07 12:37

I really loved the platforming where you couldn't fix your mistakes. It really felt like the choices you made mattered. Excellent game and super fun!

ursagames 2018-12-08 06:02

Your game was played on my stream ( https://www.twitch.tv/ursagames/videos ) on the fourth day of Ludum Dare streams. Thank you for sharing your game with us! You can find the timestamp of when your game was played here: https://goo.gl/N2rkr8

That's a well executed narrative game ! As it's been said the effort on storytelling and writting is worthy and sets a great mood. Even if gameplay is not so challenging this really pushed me to persevere the *hard* part to reach the end. I loved the humor as well in texts and in-game. Good job on chiptune music, quite diversified and sounding real good. Visuals are simple but efficients, I especially liked the different NPC and player's sprites. I've read in comments that... there is a 9999999$ key ? :) I didn't have the patience to end it twice finding secrets but I tried some while playing it and I was wondering, so that's a great thing :) Good job ! Cheers !

- This music.. holy.. so well done. - Not much to see mechanic-wise but it feels well-made. - The graphics are minimalistic but good.

I couldn't finish it but I had fun for as much as I played :)

frescogusto 2018-12-11 11:16

this was so good. 10/10. i love the clippy music, the sprites, the mood of it all. WINNER WINNER

miziziziz 2018-12-15 07:24

definitely the funnest game I've played this jam; great story, great music, great use of mechanics. My only gripe is the platforming is a little clunky, typically in platformers if you walk off an edge right as you hit jump, there's a little lee-way time where you can still jump even if you're in the air, otherwise it feels like you pressed jump and your character didn't jump, just fell off the edge. I feel like this would make the end platforming sequence a lot smoother, I died in quite a few spots because of that. Otherwise, great game!

Neat game! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if youโ€™d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/UvsNqUUFv6I

There I am just jumping around like a dummy trying to get over the barrier, then boom, an old man asks me what the hell I'm doing :p He added a lot of humor to the game. Art is cute, the game reminded me of Knytt a little bit world/mood wise.

An indicator for exp/levelling up would've been cool (didn't see one on web. I got a level up once from collecting cash, but wasn't able to again, idk if I just didn't get enough exp or one level up from cash collecting was the max).

Loved the village area with the mounds of money and people who apparently live in a society. Did that dude selling the hat for $211 subtract 1 from my balance to define a price? Smart man. I'm lookin' spiffy now, what a bargain.

I liked figuring out what to do by just bouncing around. xD It was kinda cool. xD dropping off ledges was really hard and annoying. Other than that pretty nice entry.
