more of an interactive story than a game but still good :)

Great writing and very nice visuals! The music was on-point as well. A little short, but you owned that fact. Well done!

Hi! The screenshots looks awesome, though you haven't packed LWJGL with the JAR file, making it crash at start. Good luck!

The .jar would not run for me. (Windows 8.1)

For some reason I spawned on top of the piano when I went outside, but the speech bubbles were in their "correct" place on the other side of the screen. Might be because I decided to keep watching TV for a while after being told to save the world.

The jar will not run for me (Win 7) which sucks, because I really like the design I see in the screen grab.

Wasn't really a game, animations could have been a bit smoother. The audio you did have was fine, but could have used more. Needs more levels or opponents or things to do, really. That second part was glitchy, hitting use on the piano restarted the scene. Not personally my kind of humour (won't rate it for that) but I bet some people got a kick out of it.

This was interesting, certainly different and the humour made me want to play, just actually wanted it to develop into some awesome guitar smashing gameplay. I feel like so much time was spent on building up the story and tutorial in a brilliant wacky way that it deserves more.

Pretty well polished for a LD game. I liked your interpretation of the theme and the game's narrative. Only complaint I have is that I was expecting more. Hope you decide to continue working on this!

Really nice art, but the walking animation was a bit weird. Also enjoyed the sound and narrative.

Great story. I like the intro with the guitar and the twist at the end (easier then expected, lol). I also like the graphic style of the first scene.

wow, impressive entry. Graphics and audio are done really well especially for a compo entry. the story was fun, i like talking guitars
