Awesome style, short and sweet!

I should warn you though that the first time I played the game there was an error that caused the WEBGL build to completely shut down and forced a restart :sob:

Really really into the art style, feel like watching a movie!!! the narrative is cathy, very easy to control the game. It'll be better if there's a little intro of mechanism... can't understand why I lose or win

The visual style is awesome, the comic at the beginning is funny, like for the JoJo reference! I didn’t figure out how to win right away, but I did manage to beat it a couple of times!! You did great, the game is short, but the style really sticks with you :3

Liked the humor there, the art style - it really looks cool. Some critique:

1. Didn't understand what those hands on HUD were for, I saw some of them got a bit dirty-ish? I feel it wasn't finished, but it's alright, i still had some portion of fun, thank you guys and good luck in the future!

A small but pleasant game — I liked the art and the story, though the gameplay felt a bit weak =)

Nice little game:) Feel like it needs a bit of a how-to. I won on my first try without figuring it out, haha. But it was fun:D

An interesting interpretation of the theme🤔, the graphics are superb and the overall mood🎄 is good, but the rest needs some work.
I would advise adding more impact when you take garbage bags🤓, like sounds or something else...
Well, if this is the first project, very good😎!

@hnkxobka, Thank you. I've been waiting for these words.

@yiwai, If it was fun i think all right, but i know what gameplay is not strong side of this game

good style, theming and art.. The direction was very strong. the game play needs a little more
over all a very good first game

Great art! Unfortunately I wish there was more to the game, as you just need to click on non-red bags to finish it without being able to see the figures, or to have multiple stages, etc.

But that's a good start nonetheless! The idea is good, keep it up!

Awanamiauthor7 Oct 2025, 20:37
@linky439, i waste too much time for ~normal spawning and autoscale and I didn't have time for mini games then you toch pocket

Awesome art style! Gaming experience - short and good!

Good job! Thanks for the gaming experience!
tardis2snej7 Oct 2025, 21:50
The art is sooo beautiful, professional level! Not so much of gameplay unfortunately (though the idea is good), and I couldn't understand the logic behind winning or losing
Awanami
Awanamiauthor7 Oct 2025, 21:58
@tardis2snej, i send your comment to my only one artist. Thank you for the praise.

As others said, althought the theme is clearly represented, the gameplay is not the strong side of this game, but the graphics, they are supreme! You deserve 5 stars in Graphics 🤩

Very simple, вut the visuals and message of the game are nice! I remember my parents threw away an entire My Little Pony castle once and now I miss it X"^)

Cool graphics, I stuck a little on narrative screen, i would reduce time delay between fragments.

Cool concept. I thought it was a 3-match game but comes out as Russian roulette LOL

The visuals and story are absolutely perfect! It’s just a pity the gameplay is a bit short. I’m really looking forward to seeing more of the story — especially if it includes more about the wife. A game with great potential!

@custodi, Thank you, and i heard you about time on narrative scene

@ciphereo, I'll send your words to my only one artist

@xlores-liang, This game can be better but I didn't have enough time cause i made simple proc-gen for pokets

@olddog, Thank you, your words will be my fuel to try hard more

@braulio-jg, I know about problems with gameplay, I didn't have time to make mini games when opening packages. And my only one artist the best i know:3

Very neat intro. Who knew figures could break up a marriage so quickly?

@nondev, If the wife is a bch, then yes of course

Wow, the draft style worked great for the atmosphere, but your drawing skill is great, you must be a comic artist?

N90W8 Oct 2025, 22:56
@ottobroccoli I've never worked with comics before, but I'm really glad my style fits the game's concept. Due to the tight deadline, I was in a rush and drew in a sketchy style. This is my first experience in the games industry. I usually draw pictures with a lot of detail. Thank you for the kind words! ❤️
Zoldanka9 Oct 2025, 19:58
The cover art is SPECTACULAR, I adore the way you drew the characters and their expressions
I also love the way you drew the intro scene like a comic, I've never seen that before anywhere else (although the text was a tad bit hard to make out)
About the rest now, it took me some time to understand how the game worked and how I was winning or losing. I'd also appreciate it if there was more to the gameplay, as there wasn't much to actually do
The visuals are the strong suit of the game, the rest could use some work, but they look fantastic and feel very unique, especially for a game, so great work on that:)
I read this is your first time working on a game, I hope it will be the start of a bigger journey, since I feel like you could bring a breath of fresh air!

@zoldanka, Thank you, I was really looking forward to such a big comment with analysis. I was planning to add mini games then you open pockets, but i didn't have time to made it on JAM. Also i'm planing to add tutorial but i'm also didn't have time for cause i'm add simple proc-gen. And my only one artist the best, i know:3

Noooooo not the figurines. Can't imagine what would I do had it happen to me and my figurines.

Great visuals and overall style!

Considering how short the story was from start to end, I don't why the button to skip skips the entire thing when it could've just skipped to the next panel. Sneaky lil pose at the end for those that did watch the whole thing :thumbsup:. Not much to say on the gameplay, a bit simplistic but nothing negative to say about it.
LDJam user 28018914 Oct 2025, 18:42
The art style is really beautiful, I love it. Great work!

Wasn't quite sure how the gameplay worked at first but I got it eventually.

I feel sorry for this guy. His wife is a terrible person.
But thanks for playing anyway!
