\nEdit by admins (2025): This game ran in the Desktop and Mobile categories in 2023, but should not have competed\nat all due to use of external assets that we did not catch at the time. It had been ranked 128/146 in the overall\nranking, but has been since disqualified and moved to the Unfinished category. We apologize to all participants\nfor missing this during entry validation at the appropriate time.
\nI really liked the music, until i didn’t haha. Maybe something a bit longer and less hopping between left/right ears O_O
\nAudio aside, I like the narrative aspect of the game, though I wish that the modal text wouldn’t overlap the gameplay area.

\nI’m gonna repeat what some others said, the music is what stands out at first, really puts you in the atmosphere. But it’s also what makes the game hard to play, too bad it’s that repetitive! Maybe you should have gone for a full 8 bit music that doesn’t take space at all, to make it real longer.
\nThe drawing is cute, you can definitely it’s not perfect, but I think it gives a nice atmosphere to the game. I would have loved to have the screen bigger to actually see the characters more.
\nIn my opinion, I would have kept the controls on the screen at the beginning.\nA tutorial is so important to get players to stick to the game, and most player will skip the first modals to get right into it…. and then you’re wondering what key to press to talk to the NPCs.\nAnd kept the objectives on screen too. If you close the modal saying what to do, you’re stuck.
\nRegarding the touch detection, I’m wondering if you could have done it automatically? Using the touch events and switch a boolean on touchstart to activate the touch controls for the rest of the game.
\nWell done on the overall submission though!

\nI loved the story and being a part of it. Completed the game to the end. When I started playing, I forgot how to interact with objects :), but when I read it again, there were no more problems. There were a lot of clues in the story, so this context was enough for me to have fun.
\nI’m not sure, but I think that telling the story at the beginning of each level, without the possibility of parallel play, would focus the player to first read part of the story, and then live (play) it.
\nWhere to give the opportunity to scroll through the text yourself, or the possibility of auto-reading, which is now available, and then already in the application the “stop” button, if you turned on the auto-reading mode before that, and you don’t have time to read it… something like that :D.
