I found it really difficult to follow the narrative text at the top of the screen. The boss was really cool looking, though!
The separation from moving to taking pictures really threw me for a loop. I found myself wishing to navigate entirely in first person, despite the lil inspector dude being very cute. I wish there were other tells for seeing that a person is infected so that I didn't have to check every single person to confirm a suspicion.
Gave up at first, but I'm glad I came back for the ending! Thanks for the nice surprise!!!
Super fun! I had a hard time getting all the coins, but just crashing around and doing flips was a blast!
I'm *awful* at this, but it's absolutely adorable and such a fun take on the theme!! Lovely, lovely work
Truly incredible, hot damn. I was on the verge of tears at points. Thanks for making this!
Gorgeous!!! I love love loved the colors (especially those of the shadows)
An interesting attempt at a text-adventure. The tone is a bit self-mocking for my taste, but the subject matter and world are a nice fit for the theme. More points for the theme because I experienced most of this game through its resources folder :sweat_smile:
hey @toasteater , sorry you're encountering such a limiting bug! inside the folder for the game there's a README that gives some instructions on prerequisites to install if you're getting crashes. your particular crash seems different than those that players had been able to fix by installing them, but maybe it's worth a shot? downloading the game directly through Itch.io's client (rather than their website) will also prompt an installation of these prereqs, so accessing our game through there may also help.
thanks for checking it out in the first place and for rating what you could! let me know if this doesn't fix your issue and I'll try to figure it out over the weekend
I really, really love the way that the enemies in the second level were scattered about. Moments of walking into enemies that exist outside of your visible spectrum and then scrambling to find the enhancements around the level to make progress truly shine.
