Newbie?

Newbie

Yes - I'm new to game jams!

How does your game fit the theme?
My take on the theme "Just Get Started" was to be someone building up the courage to admit their feelings to their crush.. because all it takes is that first step to kick things off and just get started.

It's so cool how expressive the main character is with just head movements! I got the good ending on my first run, then tried getting a bad ending on my second run but I regret it... why couldn't I just let them be happy? :(

As for feedback, there were a few unintentional grammar and spelling errors, and figuring out you can press E on the record player button after using your body to interact with the needle took some time to figure out. It's easy to look past these though and get immersed in the story, and the fact this is your first jam game is amazing, so be proud!

Developer

I definitely should have gone over the grammar, but I just had no drive by the end of it.
The controls are in the description, but obviously that doesn't solve everything, maybe I should have had some small font on the start screen or something..

Thank you so much for playinggggg!!!!  :( poor Sarah

Super cute story! I liked it a lot. I'm so happy for Lilly and Sarah and I loved the way Lilly's dialogue was rainbow and bouncy like its music to Sarah's ears

YESSSSS the highlight selections were also lesbian colored, though I don't think anyone picked up on that yet ;)

Love the cute settings and the narrative is very lovely. The beginning was confusing to start, like the record player but despite that it was a lovely story.

Developer

First part took me a bit longer than Im willing to admit! The bittersweet type of vibe for the story and music are great. Love it!

Developer(+1)

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much!!! I hope you were able to get past that part, it's probably the most tricky! just try to imagine how a small person might start a record player haha! thanks for playing!!

I thought the game was very pretty and I liked the story! I also loved the music and found it very calming but melancholic. Overall great job, especially for your first jam!

Developer

TYSM!!!!!!!! Thank you for playing :3

The visuals were pretty, the sound effects were satisfying, the story was cute and the game was super polished! peak narrative game right here

Developer

I'm so glad you took note of the sound effects I felt it was a big make or break for it all coming together! TYSM for playing!! 
I tried my best with the story haha!

This game is the one I liked the most out of all the ones I've played! The graphics are cool, the song too. At first I got stuck on the level where I had to start the song. But when I figured it out, I didn't know how to continue the passage, so I listened to the song xD. The story is really cool, because of some personal events I felt this story deeply, despite the fact that it is so short and simple. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!

Developer(+1)

This is such an amazing compliment, thank you soooo much!!! The song is something I wrote/sang, so that means a lot! I'm really glad you enjoyed it to it's fullest !!!!

this is so awesome for a newbie! especially that dream shader. still wonder how you pulled that off - that booth phone model is high quality too

Developer

Thanks so much!!

I enjoyed the visuals and the dream shader. Nice story as well. Full 5 stars for making this in 10 days.

A decent game. I liked the visual storytelling the most.

Developer

Thanks so much!

Very cool art style, interesting story. Apart from the bug that didn't allow me to progress to the end it was great!

Developer

TYSM!!! do you mind telling me what the bug was?? I'm unaware of it

Submitted(+1)

It was something with the phone booth, it displayed like 4 lines of dialogue and I couldn't press anything or continue playing.

Developer

hmmm I can't even think of what that might be tbh, ty for getting back though!

Submitted(+1)

Amazing game, really, I only had a few problems running it on my computer, like the screen being cut off (I think my monitor is too small for such a big work lol)
I don't understand the love, but I fell it. I was constantly saying in my mind "GO SARAH YOU CAN DO IT"

Developer(+1)

YES SARAH GOOO!!!! Yeah, I can admit that it is completely my fault  I  was way to far progressed once I realized all my text was not scalable with screen resolution.. was just hoped it all worked out heh...  I believe ik how to fix it though, it just wasn't feasible with the time I had left when I finished! TYSM FOR PLAYING!!!

Submitted(+1)

10/10. The story is really good, well written. The music and the dream scenes pair well with the direction. The dream screen shader is really good too.

I got a minor glitch where I activated the phone call and my character floated away (might have triggered while I was jumping)

I got 2 endings, and I like them a lot. Congratz on making this much in just 10 days!

Developer(+1)

Thank you sooooo much this feedback is incredible!!!! 

And I'm so sorry for the jump glitch I never thought to test jumping and picking up the phone DX good to know ty!
