This was so good, really loved the aesthetic. The music fit the game super well, and the narrative was super cute and relatable

I wish one day I can evolve my paint drawing skills to get an aesthetics as good as this game. This looks super good, very well done =)

Wow, I love this! While there's not much gameplay-wise, it makes up for it in any other category. I love the 3d-2d cartoony art style, the music, the relatableness of your game running out of power in the car as a kid and having to entertain yourself by imagining someone running along beside you. Seeing the dog outside after my gameboy died legitimately made me laugh :) Great stuff!

The graphics and music made me smile and the gameplay was like BOOM it was so fun yet so simple. I was sad when I realized my game boy was out of power but then I looked out the window and it was like my dreams had come true.

I love the artstyle for this game, its very comfy and cute and the sound is great too. When the gameboy character appeared outside the car it put a huge smile on my face. The only thing i would suggest is a little bit more control over what the character does instead of just playing an animation, but great job!

I told a friend I was watching a skateboarding dog from a car window because my gameboy batteries died. He asked if I was losing it. I sent him a screenshot. He asked for the game. Fin. Good job.

So muuch nostalgia! :'D This is awesome and I wish there was more. Not so much a game, per say, but I really liked it. How long has it been since I've imagined a skateboarder grinding on gutters and power lines out of the car window on a long trip? This was so cool..

As a bonus, the art and music were fantastic:D

This was amazing! Every step of the game was a pleasant suprise, from the gameboy running out of batteries, to the skater showing up in the window!

This game really hit close to home...!

Playing with the gameboy in family trips is among some of my most beloved childhood memories, and you captured it so well. And the surprise and the end was like a dream come true!

It is true that it certaintly lacks some depth gameplay-wise, but as a interactive experience this works really good.

really good vibe to this game ! super original and very relatable.

i remember pretending skateboarding on the guard rail and stuff while i was sitting in the backseat when i was little

super good entry! might have been improved with some kind of ending, but im also not sure what

Hahaha great small game/experience I wish there was a little bit scoring or difficulty to keep me stuck to it as this is one of the best idea/theme exploitation I played so far. It really feels like a childhood memory and... well this is super great to feel this :') Super-cool-and-artsy-cartoon-pixelated-hand-draw style, very smooth. Music is just awesome congratulations :p Awesome idea.

Liked the aesthetics in this, thought they worked really well in bringing that nostalgic old school vibe of family trips with the gameboy. Was a nice surprise after playing and looking out the window again :) Music was great also.
