Controls:

WASD,Arrows : Movement

Space : Punch

(We wanted to cycle through multipe days but we were a little over ambitious. We also used this as our first time using the godot engine. We also kinda lost the connection to the theme while trying to get the game to work.) We had alot of fun making this very interesting game. I hope you enjoy too.

Ok so funny game. A lot of the art is really funny and good. The random NPCs in particular in the background and the first enemy. My only comment is maybe work on color selection a bit? for example some of the greens on the foliage are super high saturation so are a bit jarring.

Some basic sound effects would have been nice. jsfxr.com is a good site to generate them quick.

The wait time at the beginning of the game is super long and confused me. And also, everytime you die you need to sit through all of that again? Bruh moment.

Maybe a tutorial or a gameplay demo would be nice, not sure how to beat the first boss. Im bad at platformers

You have pretty large area to explore. I have only figured out that some objects are objects and not scenery on my second try and found all the objects for characters, but I didn't understand what changed, except the dialogues.

Area is probably is too big to explore considering the amount of content I saw in the game, I would love to either have a smaller area or to have more things to do there. That said I was unable to deal with "them" on both tries, and as previous commenter noticed that wait time at the start is not adding anything on your second playthrough.

Other than that keep it up!

I couldn't really figure out how to interact with anyone. I found the underwear but I could only drop it next to the screaming guy, I couldn't figure out how to give it to him.

Such a weird game! I could not really figure out what to do, as well as '100 rats' mean :smile:

However, the graphics and the level building, with its 3 parallaxe layers is quite impressive. I would be interested in a walkthrough video, showing how the player is supposed to beat the game

I am conflicted, bewildered and maybe a little turned on. Art is great, animations are funny as hell, audio became nonexistent after a while, movement is too fast and feels a bit delayed. Otherwise good rats!

100 rats... the horror... I will never sleep again. For real though, I like the art and something about the punching animation is just charming! As others have mentioned, it's a little confusing to find what the objective is and where to go while the countdown reduces, but something about just jumping around (and spotting a certain... uniquely "dressed" NPC) is fun. Nice work!
