Really impressive artwork and the audio track is very chill. Everything seemed to work very well and it was a refreshing style of gameplay. I found it confusing when I was asked to talk to Lou and she wasn't around though.

Very nice art, and the gameplay feels very nostalgic. Great take on the theme, good work :)

@glacian There is such a problem and I have been trying for a very long time to understand what the problem is that on the 3rd day she does not want to come to the right place. If I understand what the bug is, then I will fix it). Thanks for the feedback.

Very nice gameplay, I feel like the art is really confusing sometimes, I got confused on where I was supposed to go sometimes.. Apart from that I like the fact that there is a lot of content to this game....

Wow i guess he really won't be growing up XD, kinda dark tho. Enjoyed the artwork and the story!

Ah Hello Gordon it's good to see you Screenshot_6.png This game was like a hidden gem! it tells a story between Lou, protagonist & an elder that constantly swinging in chair though elder doesn't play a big role in the plot haha jokes aside my only improvement would be not showing the aircraft in the beginning or showing a greatly exaggerated version of it like a version that child couldn't ever do, later when building we would see aircraft taking shape & laugh for imagination of the child's minds. I loved the vibe in the last scene just before the inevitable came even took a screenshot of it. Great job, congrats to the team!

Great art and mood of the game! One of the best ones I've played in this jam! Nice job!

Ох уж это детство! Наверное каждый строил если не такие агрегаты, то хотя бы шалаши. Ностальгией повеяло)

Really good little game; perfectly captured the thinking of being that age. Really liked the graphical style and the music was laid-back and spot on for the game, but took me a while to figure out the objects could be dragged from the inventory bar with the mouse (I'd been expecting everything would be controled via the keyboard).

I liked it too! I kept falling through the ground one time, i think it was probably still in the basement state when I went outside the house, I had to restart the game. It happens.

The art is very well done, and the take on the theme is interesting too!

What a cute story from childhood, you did a good job on the narrative!

The art style is very calming, it really adds to the mood you're conveying. Good job!

I felt like I was playing a fairy tale! For some reason I really wanted to jump in the game :smiley:

HATS OFF! GAME OVER! Thank you for making this AMAZING game. I am speechless right now :no_mouth:

A sweet little story. Well done.

Overall very nicely implemented game here. I'm probably not the target audience for it, but I appreciate the stuff you put in here, especially in such a short time. I was going to say it needed music, but then I read the comments... I think maybe the music was too quiet or something? I had to turn it all the way up to be able to hear it. I am not entirely sure how this relates to the theme, but that's OK.

paulsams 2022-04-16 00:54

@doomshmuck The theme is revealed by the fact that growing up cannot be stopped, no matter how strong you want it to be. That is, the main character wanted to "delay the inevitable" growing up, but it did not work out for him, as you could see).
