Silicon Boulevard is a Noire/SciFi themed 2D adventure game.
Plot:
My designation is Hughbert A Stanley Pecketdale, a surveillance officer from the grand city of CITY. Last night whilst investigating... something... I was brutally attacked. My memory banks and power core were greatly damaged, I only remember mere fragments of what occurred, a golden ray gun. But every second I am losing more power. Now I must search for clues to learn the truth and get more power before time runs out and I suffer deactivation.
Great little game, I might have a bit of a bias since I made a noir game for ld36, the game is a bit rough with menus and thing not fitting my resolution but overall I had a good time!
Love noire games :) But there seems to be a problem with the menu. It is staying in place for some time. I managed to remove it after restarting the game for about 3 times.
Otherwise, the game is really cool. The noire theme blends well with your artwork, music and sound effects. Reminds me of classic games that I used to play on my old PC! Takes me back to then :)
Good job, At the diolauge with the robot dog guy the game froze but until that I did enjoy it. It wasn't the prettiest but the music and audio were good and fit the game well. I'm aware that the combat system probably wasn't top priority but the hit boxes could have been a bit bigger to make it easier to hit the enemies.
As the others stated there are some (mostly visual) bugs, but when you get past them there's a nice adventure underneath. Props for going the story based route, that's hard to pull of in a jam.
Man I wanted to play more of this game, but as others said the colliders were very weird and you could get stuck in strange places. It was interesting saving dialogue to use in other conversations! Pretty neat. Art was cool and the dialogue was awesome if it was larger. Anyway, great work and I would actually like to see more of this game!

Great work. Congratulations! :D
The gameplay however was a bit confusing and it looked like I was inadvertently skipping plot elements.
The fond is quit hard to read I think.
There are a bug, I got block on the first door
The idea is cool but maybe too ambitious for a Game Jam maybe.
A full game with this idea where you have to store your tough to discover the story seem really great
