Wow, an amazing amount of polish and content for such a short period of time. Great writing, and so much music to match!! I don't want to spoil it for others but I became very proficient with three-sided shapes thanks to my amphibious friend. :) I might have lowered the incidence of empty squares on the board - 40% of the time you're just kind of clicking through, which is fine at the start but gets a little long further on. Great game, thanks for sharing!

I really loved all the dialogue i was cracking up with the grandparents especially, it kind of felt like Alice in Wonderland but in a lazy river ^^ good work! The only think I noticed is the dialogue running down from the speech space but other than that everything looks amazing and the gameplay is fun :)

Funny dialogs and a unique take/gameplay base on the theme. I would only like to make the screen a bit bigger on a large monitor it was really to small. Also what was it with the "dont forget to like and subscribe ?? " felt a bit strange but might be a inside joke i am missing

Wow! Such a high level of polish! And the interactions with the people are just hilarious, genuinely funny. It can be a risk to *try* to be funny, but I think every character you wrote was brilliant. And the artwork is super charming, the animations slick, and the music adds to every encounter too.

The dice section is the weaker part of this game in my opinion. Since it's random, it might as well not require any input from me at all, and just take me randomly from one encounter to the next. Also I kept ending up on blank squares instead. Perhaps if there was some way to control the dice? Like you get to reroll? Or pick which of the two dice you'd like to go for? Or have it replaced with a different mechanic entirely.

The conversation part of the game was so strong for me, I think it could do well even if the loop mechanic was completely different. I was hooked, needed to find out who I was going to bump into next, and if I'd get out! Managed to get the Tim Bo ending! :smile:

I got Moshi's ending - so glad, cuz he's my fav character :)

Wow there's a lot of work that was put into this game. I dig the art style. The narrative is quite cool as well, each character has their own proper "cliche" personality which is both funny and relatable. I just wish there was a bit more interaction on the player's behalf.

Nice to play something totally different. The dice animation was a highlight

Interesting game! The floating graphics are very cool, as well as the tunes. I enjoyed the adventure and the conversations. I liked how the dice animations looks, but since I didn't have any influence on the dice or where I would go, it got a bit repetitive and too long (10+ seconds?). Especially when visiting empty spots again and again... Also, I was confused for a while which pawn represented me, and who would be the other one and I didn't have a good idea what the different spots on the circle/board meant. Maybe I missed that in the story. :)
I found two different endings :smile: Although I am curious what other endings there might be, I felt the gameplay was too long to play it again. :wink:
Awesome job!

this was a fun little entry! i liked the dialogue and humor. it would be nice if it wasn't all left to chance, and you had some influence of picking where you go. the IT guy with the computer in the lazy river was hillarious.

one technical note, i have a high resolution monitor, and the game's display was tiny on my screen, and i couldn't resize it, so that was rather annoying. nice work over all tho!

I loved this entry! The art was amazing and the dialogue was funny. My favorite character was the guy with his PC in the water.
