in bed, can't sleep

2021-04-27 14:48

I completely loved it!

And, for me, it fits the theme as "deep" in my thoughts, haha Sometimes I also suffer to sleep stuck deep in my thoughts

I found the texts and responses very fun and well thought out The art style I loved; really love art like that

Oh, the "fish time" was a great idea also! I really loved it the game completely

The only thing is the song that I found a little tiring because it was repetitive and had a "peculiar" beat

Overall, congratulations for this game; I would like to see more and I hope the character manages to overcome the person from the dating app, lol

Really nice entry! I especially liked the fishing minigame :-)

This is the first time I've encountered a game where a mechanic is to run the game while I make myself a snack in real life. Nice style, good humor, great game.

Great mood, a little too real experience (in a good way)

I enjoyed the game quite a bit! Loved the concept!

Nice Entry. I liked the fishing game and the chat messages were funny. I find the repetative music fits your game quite nicely. Best entry to play in bed while waiting for sleep ;)

You drew the inside of my head

Very sad. It is a nice concept and just "having to wait around" as a game mechanic was surprising. A few times when I was thinking "Is that it?", my characters was coming up with something new to write in a bit. Nicely done :) I didn't particularly like the music choice. I think it doesn't really fit the setting and the mood.

We would have liked a bit more reward for the clicking game. :D Fun and beautiful game! We liked the music base, but it could have used a bit more variation. The implementation of the theme was, in our opinion, appropriate and exciting.

Nice work with the game. It was a very neat interpretation of the theme that hit close to home. I liked the different conversations and appreciate the fishing mini-game. Well done.

Great concept of a game! Fits the theme well. I think you could expand the game more to make it into something more challenging. BTW, writing all those texts must have taken a while XD

Nice game ! I really enjoyed fishing and following the different conversations.

Good job :slight_smile:

Awesome! Beeing in bed not able to sleep, who does'nt know that feeling. I love how this game does not take itself seriouly. The wy the missing chatis explained, the conversations, the hint to give a feedback. Just to name a few. I like the simpledesign. The only "clean" artwork is the distracting phone, anything else is just so whirly, just how I feel when trying to sleep. Nailed it! I like the music in genral, my only issue is the high keyboard sounding tunes that arent in rhythem, that makes the loop a little distracting while reading the chat. For me scolling the chat was to slow. Clicking out of the phone screen I expected to get of the phone, maybe it could close the phone interface. The game feels all in all so authentic, just like something out of reallife, that is great.

Just two ideas: I was missing a podcast app with a podcast that realy doesnt help you to fall a sleep or wakes you up suddenl with a loud comercial. The music could slow down as the screen zooms out.

Also I was not sure if I bet the game since my screen just stopped with a small dot and nothing more was displayed, I F4ed out of the game

My Fishscore is 215

Well done, keep it going!

@spyturtle there's actually two more secret messages at a higher score, but yeah didn't really have the time to tie the game back into the story a little more

tanatb 2021-05-04 16:58

@m1nd0frafa thanks for your detailed feedback! really appreciated it :smile: I'd love to have a lot more apps to encourage more exploration... maybe for a post-jam version :)

There's a solution - flight mode. Anyway, this narrative sim for those who sleeps with their phones on is... depressing. But the idea and the game reaction on your actions as if you're really trying to sleep but can't get things out of your mind - is cool.

congusbongus 2021-05-05 14:02

Why am I playing this when I'm trying to go to sleep to hahaha very nice, it was really fun
