Really charming game! I love the retro pixel art and the classic point-and-click adventure style. The whole atmosphere brings back that old-school gaming feeling, and the alien theme adds a fun twist. It's impressive that you made everything yourself, including the art, music, and code. Great job!
Very nice little adventure!
As an old-school point 'n' click -aficionado myself this warmed my heart. The UI's buttons were really janky for some reason, but I learned to live with them!
There was one item that I didn't found a use for, so was there perhaps a hidden puzzle to solve?
I'm trying to get myself familiar with Godot, so if you'll ever release the source I would gladly take a peek under the hood. 💾

BTW, there's another fellow jammer who makes [oldschool adventures](https://ldjam.com/users/iluvatar/games), so you might want to check 'em out.
Cheers!
Amazing product man, i love this so much!!!!
What a bopper of a soundtrack. Sprinkled with humor. I enjoyed exploring the house and trying different things. I made some accidental transitions between the rooms and accidental movement when trying to look at/use/pick up.
Nice experience. Good job!
Really enjoyed this one! I love old-school point-and-click adventures, and this little game really has that vibe. I thought I was stuck in the attic for a second since there wasn’t a clear (at least to me) indicator of where to leave. But that’s nitpicking :)
Thanks for playing and giving feedback @artemeda @dis0rder @mamboman @hidezen @coderaurus ! I'm also curious to see other point&click entries (also thanks for the tip @dis0rder). Regarding source code release: im reluctant to make my jam games open-source, unless it is a requirement from a jam, but if you're interested we can chat about the design/source in discord.
Wow, a real retro quest on LD! I liked it authentic vibes!🧐
Haha, absolutely loved the game! I'm having trouble finding any major issues to point out, it really was just a blast playing through this short quest! Amazing mood and humor! Really feels like one of the old-school point-and-click adventure games!
From the limited colors to the obscure solutions (fuse box puzzle), everything feels very time appropriate. And let's not forget the absolutely groovin' music!
I did notice some issues, like items not disappearing from the inventory when used and Willie sometimes moving on his own when entering a new room, but those are minor nitpicks.
Great job 👏 For a single developer, you've accomplished a lot in 72 hours.
You really captured the old school point and click vibe with this one, really takes me back. Awesome work!
Very cool point and click adventure and I like the fact that the puzzles are very intuitive, although I think it would be an improvement to remove available items when they have indeed been consumed for their purpose. Congrats!
Nice entry with a good old point'n'click mood. Looks like an NES game which fits perfectly the theme. It was fun! I got a small bug where clicking the bottom buttons also made my character moves.
@hnkxobka Heck yea, for some reason I watched Ron Gilbert interview day before jam so that's why I went this route..
@marks Glad to heart that!
@the-big-lost Yeah, I was so toasted on monday still working on the gfx that few bugs were left in the game
@matthewdrake Cheers!
@andriybyelikov Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it :)
@curtis-pelissier Congratz, you found the bug nr.2 which is game field and buttons overlapping. If I remember, I push a fix after the jam ;)
Wow, this has great vibes!
Liked the humor! Willy Flash is a great name to give a kid :D
Fits the theme on many levels and Kudos for not using AI.
fun game but going on and out screens are nigthmares ! it never change screens when i want to. I can't leave the attic (even if i have manage to did it in the past), so I'm stopping here. Even though I have the code for the chest in the cellar.
Agreed with @roroto-sic I couldn't figure out how to exit the attic for the longest time (though that was also a feature of the games back then). I think it let me out when I went out the bottom of the screen or something?
Anyhow this was a fun trip down memory lane -- I used to play a few of these point and click adventure games. There's less random dying in this one than in King's Quest though haha. All in all a good entry though, congrats on finishing!
Hahah, there was even a game inside the GAME :D
I definitely caught the vibe of old point and click games.

You're absolutely right @roroto-sic and @ordineu the navigation right now is a bit of a hit&miss as there are no indicators where to go inside a scene. One more thing on the post-jam TODO list. Anyhow, thanks for checking the game out and playing, appreciate it!
My 2 cents, on animation, when walking in front of the door or circuit breaker, the character don't look in direction of walk, kinda strange
It's a fun kind of little escape game click n point, with ega like color palette. 👍
