you are an anthropomorphic crypto currency. do your very best to stay cryptic so that they can trust you to conduct the business. use wasd or arrow keys to move and interact.

this game was made after these articles:

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/apr/25/dark-web-blamed-for-rise-in-drugs-sent-by-post-from-netherlands https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/24/brazil-drug-parrot-trained-as-lookout-for-dealers

I only had approx 5 hours to jam. so, I decided to learn how to use bitsy. and... ya, voila, here's, um, something.

Pretty nice and humorous little game with good writing. Congrats on checking out bitsy AND making a game in such a short amount of time. That super obedient parrot is hilarious, the article reads a little like an april fools :)

Oh wow, this is even more crazy when I experiment it in person. Good job!

@caranha Thanks! I added some stuff after we jammed at pico (originally, I was planning to have more rooms since I didn't know exactly how bitsy worked; so, I already had materials). so, it's actually a bit different from the version which I played at picotachi!

i don't really know what i ended up answering the parrot tbh, i was walking around looking at the responses and suddenly the game ended? i wanted to assure him i'm not a cop !!
i dig the theme and the framing a lot. i don't think i've ever been a sneaky cryptocurrency before

@ditto you probably told him that you were a cop. those things happen often irl too. (jk the pathway is too narrow and you'd trigger the ending by accident. I anticipated it but there was not much I could do about it). thanks for playing and for the nice words tho!

@kajetan-andrzejak thanks! I think you could probably design a Susan Kare Macintosh computer sim with bitsy cuz it's so easy to draw simple pixel art and implement them in the game screen.
