The game looks excellent, and you even had time to put in a player select. Everything about the mood reminded me of having a sleepover when I was little. I really liked it.

I like the humor. The mood definitely resonates with how I'm feeling right now. :-P\n\nI think the sounds are pretty well-designed. I like being able to hear the footsteps - it adds to the mood of sneaking around in the dark. I think the door sound is also good because it catches my attention.\n\nI had a bit of trouble seeing the coffee cups (if that's what they are?). I'm not sure if that's intentional, or if even it's just me. The size of the bags was good though.\n\nSo... just one question out of curiosity - why's mom out of bed at this late hour? :-P Anyway, good job, it's fun!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Rikoclon","author_uid":"1036589","time":"2017-08-01T05:08:41Z","epoch":1501564121,"modified":1501564121,"text":"The camera does a great job of keeping things in view in terms of the level!

Simple, but the game-play works well. I dig the character style, they sort of have this puppet look. It feels like an episode of a kid's sitcom with puppets, where they try to stay up late.\n\nUnfortunately, I found a couple of odd bugs that somewhat hampered the game. If you click a button to use a coffee, and then press space bar to pick one up, you'll consume one in your inventory. It seems the UI keeps focus and keeps a button highlighted, so when you press space again, it'll click it. I also encountered another bug where the game just kicks me out to the main menu seemingly randomly, despite not being caught, and not falling asleep.\n\nOther then that, the game-play was solid, good work!
