I really like the art style and the simple controls.

changemewtf 2019-10-07 22:42

Nice job, love the cute sketchy graphics!

ostrich 2019-10-07 22:53

Love it! Great idea!

narffy 2019-10-07 23:01

rosebucket 2019-10-07 23:30

somehow just getting a black screen w the song playing? trying to run it on a surface pro in a window. this looks really cool too????

tmpxyz 2019-10-07 23:47

I've tried several times, but this game only has sound and no graphics on my laptop.

@tmpxyz @rosebucket @wheybags @tofuman

Sorry about that! I've just uploaded a new build if you'd like to give it another try

wheybags 2019-10-08 00:19

Sorry, still the same issue :(

kp-cftsz 2019-10-08 00:21

Game runs fine on my end, I like it.

listonos 2019-10-08 00:22

Same here, black screen with audio on Win 10.

jerripo 2019-10-08 00:51

Hello, I'm getting the same error as the posts above. I hear lovely music, but the window is black.

rosebucket 2019-10-08 01:08

@huskitch no dice :(

skyeward 2019-10-08 01:14

No technical issues here, game was really well executed and genuinely thought provoking, you used your time not just to make a great game but also promote a meaningful message. Your aesthetic was great too, super unique inputs also. Really well done.

zoarfy 2019-10-08 01:15

This worked fine on my end - windows 10.

I really liked your game - beautiful art style and simple controls/gameplay loop that felt very on theme.

Overall this is a really beautiful package of a game.

Congrats on finishing.

spiess 2019-10-08 01:15

Really good job!

adam-gaskins 2019-10-08 01:29

I'm also getting the black screen! Was very excited to play :(

joseph-yannessa 2019-10-08 01:37

Art style was very neat, probably more of an "experience" than a game so all my gameplay critiques were probably intentional game design decisions

stinkykitty 2019-10-08 01:38

This looks really cool and I was very excited to play it! When I turn it on I hear the music but just see a black screen. :frowning2: Either way, it looks super cool! Great graphics, music, and matches the theme perfectly! Hope you fix it soon so I can try it out :smiley_cat:

landosystems 2019-10-08 01:46

Great work, really loved the art style and the music fit really well too. Thought I was doing pretty decently, but had a bad 8th day where the whole world was against me and didn't make it past day 9.

guitarbro 2019-10-08 02:32

I concur with the previous opinions; the art and music work well together. Also fits the theme quite nicely. The controls are simple and work nicely, though it's a bit hard to tell if you did something correctly (other than the sound of change). Maybe that's the point? Idk, regardless, I thought it was pretty well done.

rdcooper 2019-10-08 02:42

Gorgeous art, fantastic music. Love the game concept and mechanics. And to top it all off, it fits the theme perfectly! Great dark humor, and it plays without a hitch! Very nice job!

slimabob 2019-10-08 04:18

Sad game :( Good art and audio! I liked the "It's free" on the newspaper- funny touch! Good job to your team :)

farlandwinter 2019-10-08 05:06

This game looks so cool, but black screen with audio on Win 10 +1. I'd love to play, wait for update version.

hellpug 2019-10-08 05:10

Also getting a black screen with just music playing. :/

vaibho 2019-10-08 05:14

The game's launcher started but the maximum area was covered with black screen, the game was playing in a small area only showing its upper half. I was not able to get the full game experience but Good graphics and great music.

peachtreeoath 2019-10-08 06:07

Couple things that really stand out. First is definitely the graphics. I've never implemented it myself but I've always like the 2-3 frame squiggly animation in games. Even if someone is not great at art (not in your case) it can make it pop and salvage an art style. Secondly, even though the controls are simple, I liked that there was slight thought into choosing which one was the best one. TBH I struggled with figuring out the correct mappings here and could only ever survive a few days. Most people looked gloomy, like say, the businessman with a briefcase. But eventually I found that he responds to smiles better. Now that punk kid, he's even better. Just smiles and donations all day! Very cool coat of paint over a recognition/reaction style game.

huskitch 2019-10-08 06:58

@vaibho @hellpug @farlandwinter @adam-gaskins

Sorry about that. I'm not too sure what could be causing the issue yet, would you be able to try the game again, and if you get the black screen try pressing F1-F3 to change the resolution?

arcus 2019-10-08 06:59

Cool game! Some good work was done :smile:

brokenmirrormedia 2019-10-08 17:26

The game seemed interesting, but alas I also ran into the black-screen-of-doom, and no amount of F1-3 could save me. Let me know if you manage to fix it, I'd love to play this game, the art style seems neat!

nsadie 2019-10-08 18:49

No issues for me! Good idea and well executed.

rayne 2019-10-08 19:43

I have a weakness for these type of games. Great job!

black-flag 2019-10-08 19:46

Hi could you please re rate my game =, the link now works- I will also rate your game, sorry for this very forward sounding message!

palemek 2019-10-08 22:08

Incredible game, thanks for that!

Ok, thats not enough. That experience is great, i think that if that would be polished only a little bit more i could pay for playing it.

nachtwitch 2019-10-09 00:39

Really cool game design, loved the art, and the gameplay was terrific, keep up the good work man

brallex 2019-10-09 04:29

Great idea and artstyle! Well executed:)

rabichora 2019-10-10 13:36

I love the art styleΦωΦ!!!!

projectaroid 2019-10-10 19:12

Really nice game. The audio and graphic style really play well to the theme. Nice work!

ryzy27 2019-10-12 11:31

Great game. Background track sets the mood perfectly. The game is hard, as I imagine was the intention.

Awesome game with great message! Cheers!

dane-tesla 2019-10-19 20:30

It's fascinating to see an entry with a message in it, something more than just some memes and funny jokes inside. Lovely art style and simple but interesting gameplay. Good job!

joe40001 2019-10-29 21:21

Yeah sorry, black screen for me too
