I liked the story and overall retro feel. Everything was nice and coherent. I also liked how you mixed it up with 'minigames" and cart riding part.

I liked the idea of game

The visual style is surely unique. I liked the story, though I wish the theme played into the gameplay more. Still, good job on the game.

The music really matches the pixel art. Loved it.

Thanks for checking it out!--it means twice as much coming from a pixel black cat ;)

Submitted(+1)

Super creative story and artwork! :3 Amazing job!

Developer

Thank you!

Lets start with the art. LOVED IT! The simple pixel art reminded me of some of the older games I use to play which made my day. The music is simple yet good. The story was allso a nice touch to it. For some improvement I would say to give a little more contrast to the things that can kill you. sometimes the enmies felt like they blended into the background. All in all GREAT game. 


I would really  love it you where to give feedback to my game :D

Nice game, but the sound  made me feel sick like my wife on the rollercoaster:D

Developer

lol, trying to make it made me feel sick

I like these little games. Painted a good picture of a run-down amusement park. Wish it was a bit longer. I was expecting some kind of tie-in to the actual loop in the rollercoaster.

Developer

Thanks! I was originally going to try to make a vertical platforming level, but I was struggling to find a way to make it "read" as climbing the loop.

The story's pretty nice and original, perhaps the "mini games" like repairing the planks could have been a bit longer by actually fixing them one by one and not all at once..

Either way, nice work!

Developer(+1)

That's a good idea. Thanks for giving it a shot!

Good game bro! Loved the intriguing part with the car

Fun and silly story! Clearly alot of effort into visuals! Found the music to be grating, bit of a missed opportunity perhaps.

Developer

No question, that's definitely the area I need to work on the most.

Submitted(+1)

There's a reason I worked in a team, my pixel art is appaling! Do check out our game, I wrote all the music myself!

Submitted(+1)

Fun little platformer but I was waiting for the shoe to drop but it never came. I just expect twists theses days. So is it a twist that there isn't twist?

Submitted(+1)

Very unique game! it wasn't always clear what were obstacles or what the objective was, but it steers you in the right direction, and the art, audio, and story make up for a lot of it!

Submitted(+1)

this is the best game in this jam, super dreamy, dialog is funny, palette and art is gorgeous, surrealist concept, loved this a LOT and it has nothing to do with my friend who works at a theme park.

Developer(+1)

This was the best comment to wake up to. Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game with a funny narrative. :) Took me some time to get used to controlls though. 

Submitted(+1)

This is cute, and I'm impressed with how much you were able to get going in terms of visuals! Always love a platformer. And the OSHA notices got a laugh out of me. Great work!
