Also big props for being so dilligent in listing where you got the assets, and what you used to create the game. It's a shame that we can't rank the game's graphics
Great job love the vaporwave vibes!
Only thing I that could be improved is: more gameplay. Like, add more mechanics and funny things that could happen. Everything else is really fine.
I really never have seen a game like this before, so :thumbsup:
The game has a fun and simple dialogue mechanic, addictive as a clicker game :D
Although I would like the "hitboxes" of the words to be a little bigger in size, so that I can hit them normally when the dialogues are already 4-5 words long, otherwise I don't have time to read them, and I don't have time to hit them with the cursor :D
The animations, sounds, and appearance of the game (and the cursor too) are very well suited to each other and everything looks very stylish! Gorgeous entry!
