This was a fun one, although I didn't finish it completely, I think I got far enough tho, BALOOONS!

Would've been nice if you allowed the game to auto-restart after it goes white at the end of the minute :)

Pretty neat! Reminded me of Minit and Outer Wilds. The one thing I got annoyed at is that I couldn't figure out if there was a way to speed up & skip text I've already read.

Fun concept! Lots of different things to discover. I think the it tried to end when I was talking to Dr. Evil but it just froze on the chat box?

trito 2019-10-07 17:59

Great game! I kept trying so many times! :)

skalex 2019-10-07 18:56

Thanks for the feedback! :) It means a lot and I also fixed some of the camera bugs so you should be able to finish it if you couldn't already!

Nice game, really like the whole 1 minute concept. I wish that the dialog text scrolled faster but, other than that it was very funny and interesting. Great job!

Amazing idea and very fun execution! I loved IT reference. One annoyance is that the text after its fully shown hangs there for too long. You know what i mean. I wish I could click E and go right to the next dialog box, but I have to wait.

Fun entry :thumbsup_tone1:

Enjoyed the game and the way you gather more information from each playthrough - that captures the Theme of starting with nothing :thumbsup:

I would have loved to be able to skip text - maybe only the second and future times i interact with someone/thing.

Good work :smiley:

Nice game! Love the design but it would be nice if you could go faster through the dialogs :)

That's a really nice entry! I like the concept of having a fixed time frame of one minute for each playthrough. Also Crazy Jack is my spirit animal.

Nice one ! I had fun trying to save the world, but couldn't get to Mr Evil, and I don't know how I could have gone faster than I did. The world ends after the 3 scums ^^ Having long dialbox is interesting because of the urgency there is, but I regret not seeing the time passing at all times. Anyway nice entry, and bravo !

@garymarance you have to get the password in the bar. That lets you get past the thugs and get to Dr Evil

garymarance 2019-10-08 16:29

@skalex that's what I did, but no matter how hard I tried, the minute was over just after I gave the password to the thugs...

skalex 2019-10-08 16:33

@garymarance oh you don't have to keep getting the password. The game will know that you know it for the rest of the game so you can immeidately go to them. You only have to get it once

cafelovai 2019-10-08 16:43

I like how this was essentially a puzzle of conversations. Also these characters really do like to waste your time. But that is fine cause of how amusing all of them were!

garymarance 2019-10-08 16:52

@skalex Oh neat ! Thank you

call-me-nutty 2019-10-08 21:37

Really cool concept for a game! The dialogue was quite amusing and there's a lot of charm to the world. It definitely could have done with some music for an extra immersion factor though. I did almost finish the game (I think?) but Dr Evil's dialogue started right when the timer ran out so I was in a yellow screen with his dialogue box, stuck.

The game would have been infinitely more enjoyable if there was a speedup option for dialogue, chugging through it got *really* irritating when restarting runs, I also got stuck on some walls.

Good job! :)

skalex 2019-10-09 07:20

@call-me-nutty did that break the game?

derwenzl 2019-10-09 07:53

I like the dialogs. A bit slow. Have not reached the end. Liked it!

call-me-nutty 2019-10-09 12:13

@skalex Yes it did, the game didn't restart after that.

skalex 2019-10-09 15:23

@call-me-nutty thanks i'll try and fix it

berkin 2019-10-09 17:13

Would be better if we could skip dialogues after we read them :smile: Other than that looks great, good job !

By the way, there are no sounds or sounds doesn't play in my computer. If there aren't, i think you should opt out ratings from audio category.

oceanm 2019-10-09 23:41

I like the dialogue and comedy, though I wish there was some way to go through text faster if I have already read it in a previous play through.

imphenzia 2019-10-11 22:16

Haha, I like the $10 balloon damage insurance! Nice pixely art and humor in the game. For someone like me who has little patience to read in games I found it a bit of a waiting game. The thugs in the alley took me out (I suppose, it faded there?) and I don't know if I needed to repeat all the conversations again or if I should just run past them the second time.

I just want to thamk you all for taking the time to play my game! I decided to go ack and improve the game based on all your comments and wondered if any of you would like to play a game you helped create! Heres the link :) https://skalex05.itch.io/just-a-minute Thank you all so much it means a lot ;)

A cute nice game. I liked the fun and humor in it a lot. I liked the lot of refferences and cute graphics.

Maybe you have used too much empty space and it would be cool to skip some dialog, after you read them already 20 times XD Some indication of what you have with you would also be cool, because it took a while till I understood that you have to talk to the bartender twice.

Next to that the time is very tight calculated and there is not a lot room for issues, which would cause in annother minute of waiting till the next "day" starts.

But overall a relaly cute and cool game. Well done
