I'm sorry, I'm jealous by igoramendola

[raw]
made by igoramendola for LD32 (JAM)
This is a story about a jealous girl called Amanda.

Use ARROWS to move and SPACEBAR to talk/action/weapon (you have to find it first).
:D

==================================================

NOTE:
I couldn't finish it in the first 48 hours because I had many commitments this weekend. So, I decided to use the 72 hours period. This was my first Jam submission (and not Compo).
Even so, there was a few things that I didn't do due the lack of time. Originally, I wanted to make it choose a random girl as 'target' (it's the same girl every time) and with different rooms. Also, I wanted to make it more detailed graphically. Plus, I couldn't make a background music.
However, I'm happy to have made it playable. As least, I managed to finish the funny part haha :P

The objective reminds me of Carmen Sandiego, but the gameplay is mostly walking left and right. Still fun though.

This is so simple but so extremely fun I love it... if you took this and expanded it I would buy it.

Hahaha, adorable. I'm sure it was a time issue, but I'd've enjoyed if it was randomly generated so I could play through more than once =3

Thank you all for your feedback and kind words :))

@fixedgerald yeah, the gameplay it's too simple. Because of lack of time, I decided to do something pretty basic. I think it's one of the simpler games that I've made hehe. On the other hand, I'm glad that you found it funny.

@TwittleCreator there is a good chace to exist a post-mortem version, more complex. Probably will be free, but I can accept donations hehehe

@seraphki actually, yes! I started the game with the idea of being a random girl, but I hadn't enough time to make it :P

Really simple, yet fun. At first, I found out who is was, but she just kept saying she doesn't know. I lost.

The second time, I mistakenly press space by a wine bottle, and her response make a smirk come on my face. (This is perfect!)

Nice little game, thank you for your submission.

Muahaha >:D -- revenge! But now I feel bad. This was a really cute, complete game. I had a lot of fun playing. Good job!

This is a nice tight composition that ended up being quite a bit of fun. I also enjoyed your take on the theme. Very cool!

Clever gameplay, though the petty jealousy plot left a lot to be desired :)

Ha - she totally deserved that ;) Your pixel art is always so fun, and the ideas are really cute, touching on themes you don't see too often in games. I'd love to see this one finished up with randomized answers and some fun chip tune dance music ;)

Fun little game. Is it the same girl every time? I got the same description both times I played.

@DKoding Thank you! And yes, it's the same. I wanted it to be a different girl every time, but I hadn't enough time to work on that feature. If I make a post-jam version, it will be a random girl :)

I could not target the girl. But I liked the idea.

The game is nice, even if Amanda isn't. The deducing who to attack is similar in concept to my entry which was a pleasant surprise. Solid entry. Good stuff.

I didn't appreciate the plot, but the basic premise, speed chatting up people like a hurried detective has some promise too it. As other's said, you probably need a second walking dimension. If not 2D movement at least doors to press up to get into other rooms. Then I wonder if the mechanics wouldn't be more fun if they were made more general. Finds three clues and discover a suitable weapon (should probably be a visual hint of what is a suitable weapon upon getting the third clue). Then get the revenge before time runs out. So finally, the plot: I think my fun-meter would go up 10-folds if the revenges were specifically for things typically not "needing" revenges.

Not nice :P Given you ran out of time this is great, seems like you're taking it in the right direction. Having more stuff to play with (and maybe consequences for being a jerk) would be fun.

Nice entry, I like the humour and general mood of it! The gameplay is simple but very effective (i needed 4 runs to win the game), and your pixel art style is brilliant!

Congrats on this entry, I would love to see a post-compo with random targets, more weapons, and more rooms to explore! :)

Lol, I enjoyed playing this perhaps more than a lot of the bigger games. Would love an extended version. Brilliant entry :D

Lol hilarious! I loved walking up to random people, talking to them for literally one second, then moving on, trying to identify the criminal. I feel like a detective!

Haha! Jealous girls rock! Anyway, I liked this game, though it took some time to figure out what to do. The pixel art is cute.
