This super low fi aesthetic is so appealing. Nice color palette.

The graphics of the people at the beginning\/end with the music gave me an eerie feeling and I don't know why.

I love the premise! The way you framed the game with the mother's question, and Patricia's inevitable denial, is priceless. I enjoy game and watch style works, but I think you missed a key factor: lag. Adding a slight delay between keypress and response would make this more authentic."},{"author_name":"Esjaji","author_uid":"27286","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 10:23pm","epoch":1418249880,"text":"I love the humour in the game, and I like how challenging it gets once the pace picks up.

I admire your devotion to the Game&Watch look and style, at the same time as changing the vertical stretch gives it a certain je-ne-sais-quoi--it looks a bit like a framed digital painting, in a certain light.
