This design pattern would would make a tough one-way puzzle game. Not being able to double back is part of why the multiple endings had me engaged. I like the rounded riverbank tiles!
Had you used Bitsy before? (didn’t check profile or post-jam log)
Appreciated the story narrative. The dynamic shifts in scenery and the watery environment art were nice! I’d love to see more of this game somehow, or more lore regarding what’s happening. It felt like the surface of a mystery.
Bitsy made me nuts. I genuinely like that ‘heartfelt sadness’ by the end. Didn’t expect that, but it was well written. Not sure if I want to spoil anything, but the ending was definitely a twist!
Genuinely liked this. Kind of crazy for the interior sprites and the treetops. I didn’t expect the ending, but I could see more time being put into the little things you remember about your wife, or weird plot padding with the boat.
I would strongly suggest either a discord server or literally any kind of temporary online chat room. Not having anyone to talk to is crazy for a gamejam.
