"oh man it must be quite a heavy game.."
"man it's been 5 minutes already.."
*pressed mouse button* -> screen fades
"oh my god I'm such an idiot!"
lol, I wish this has more to it, it has a good potential
The art style was nice, the interactions clear. I didn't hear any music or sounds either, but perhaps that was a missed opt-out?
There's no sound at the moment so that is a bit of a missed opt-out, but sound is planned later & it's not like Extra games show you anything but "n/a" when scores drop anyway at this time. I'll go ahead and opt out of sound for the time being, though.
Keep at it and see where you can go with the idea :D
Edit: I see that shreemp and papabirb are working together! That is cool! :sunglasses:
There is a similar slightly spooky vibe here. Great artwork! I wanted to see more, quickly, ones I started.
Starts very intriguing, it's hooky! Keep up the work!
A few things I noticed:
- note that serif fonts are a bit hard to read, my eyes were straining a bit / maaybe sans-serif is a better choice when there is a lot of text
- there is no way to skip text - I accidentally went out of the game / and wanted to move to the point I was, unfortunately this was not possible;
- some of those typing sounds can be a bit harsh on ears / maybe something slightly more subtle would be better :)
Overall, awesome effort, **love** going over screens with this artwork.
