A bank is being robbed! Emotions are difficult! Beneath the surface, everyone has a story to tell and a different perspective on the events! Wander through events as though in a dream! Your actions are only one small drop in the ocean of life!

Use arrow keys and mouse.

I have no idea what I just played, but it was entertaining, and rather funny.

Hi, this is Vector from the Victory Garden team! (posting under Solifuge's account)

Thank you for your entry! This was actually a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed the dadaist humor (and your essay on blank-screen game design, LOL). It's probably better-classified as a work of interactive fiction, though. Still, thanks! The tunes were well-chosen and I often paused just to listen. It was great to play ->_<-

Quite surreal but good for some laughs. I especially liked finding "The Key" :)

Bahaha, I didn't play all the way through it, but I admire its cohesiveness despite its rough edges. Harmony is the most important thing! It's great for what it is. The sprites remind me of Earthbound.

That is an amazing pixel pope. The game was interesting, I wish I was as high when I was making my game ;)

Haha that was great! The table was the best!

I was just returning a favor, checking and rating a fellow participant who commented in my game... And I must say, it was a pleasant surprise... And the first full five star game I rate.

I am confused, perplexed, and satisfied... I am about to replay again, to see what changes with my actions... Great game again... And the music, is outstanding...

I wish the game could have taken place on more pieces of notebook paper with scribbles!

Seriously, this was weird but I really liked it. Awesome.

Well, I don't really have a better way to describe what I just played besides "It reminds me a lot of Earthbound". Nice job BTW.

Surreal as all hell. Nice job, totally insane.

Snake with Badgers for Arms. Truly a role-model.

Also the audio is so loud, good God.

Yes. I see. Mhm. Indeed. WAIT WHAT?

Interesting... experience. No doubt about that.

This is what the government should be funding.

Ok I have to admit I enjoyed reading your scribble on the paper about how you should make a game that's just a blank screen as a critique on video games in general as a table that happens to be a constable.
Yeah..

Funny dialogue. Don't forget source code (in your case I guess it's just the .mfa file).

I burst out laughing when I reached the part on Dadification. Really enjoyed how punk this game is.

@SlamBlasta I didn't think that jam games needed to include the source code but I put the file up there just in case.

Also thank you everyone who has rated!

Really interesting and fun game, the music is spot on perfect for this game. The humor made this one of my favorites entries so far.
