Good game
Graphics are nice and cohesive, though unfortunately, I didn't seem to be able to figure out how to get very far- I walked to the right till I got to the spear room, then it kept jumping me back to the start, so I couldn't go left or right. I also was only able to move when holding up/down as well as the direction key I wanted. Let me know if I'm missing something, I'd like to try some more!
I got to the end(?) of the game and it was pretty interesting. I feel like I'm not smart enough to get what it all means though.
@binary-coder @varundevs and @joerenglish thanks for playing!
the controls were strange (jumping and then teleporting downwards confused me and i had to restart coz I went off screen). but this is a charming little game with an interesting message :)
Very good and nice (:
@t-r-e-f-e-t-h-e-n thanks for playing
@ivysly thanks for trying it out and giving some feedback
Not exactly sure what I just witnessed, but I enjoyed the experience. Poverty boy forever. Nice.
@brainloaf-studio mega thanks for checking it out
Good work, especially for only 5 hours! Controls were a bit strange but it was fun to play! Nice work :)
Very nostalgic for me, remind my atari days, nice job!
It was cool. It fit the theme very well. The graphics were really neat and the occasional audio was also good. There wasn't much gameplay other than moving to the right but other than that, nice game.

@gord10ahmet you should press Z to jump. Sorry about the lack of instructions on jumping. Avoid jumping offscreen too
The functions of your jump are not entirely obvious to the player, and I get a little lost when my character jumps up at one time and down at another.
But, that's a cute little story, nice game! 😊
Got very attracted by the 1-bit graphics, but also I got a bit lost with the controls - I just realized how to do somethings due to the comments here. But I liked it, this is the kind of game I seek in game jams, and not just another platformer or another jump-shoot!
I went completely offscreen so ripf. Not bad for 5 hours.
The writing felt a little hard to follow; as if I was missing some details. I can appreciate the subject matter you're trying to tackle, but it came across as a little too abstract. I'd love to see what you could have done if you'd had more time.
