Childhood Ride
I tried to recreate a game I was playing in the car when I was a kid. Although I didn't manage to include all the rules in time, it kinda respects the core aspect.
As it was a "mental" game, the possibilities were indeed endless. I could change rules, add obstacles and most importantly.. played in rhythm with the radio (or CD's) music. I didn't want to make another rhythm game with synchro issues so I keep things simple. But the hard mode is quite a challenge I must say :o

You just need a mouse on PC (although left and right arrows are recommended for moving your head).
Also playable on smartphone & tablets, normally.

Do kinda wish there were a way to click through the text a bit faster (one click to show the whole line, another click to start the next line), though the dawdling pace of the text does fit the mood.
I'd love to see this in VR
Very nice little experience, I like the way you've captured the (near) universal experience of riding in the back seat of a car with along the personal experience of the first game you created. Well done.
Sitting in the back of the car is indeed a universal childhood experience I guess :) Nice game.
First thing I notice is the really nice & calming rain ambience when starting the game, with the menu sounds being playful and calming (also thanks for the credits, haha :D)
The writing was great, although the SKIP button really peaks out like it really wants to be pressed, haha. Maybe make it a bit darker, so the contrast is not to strong.
Oh, as it seems I'm getting goosebumps on the 2nd playtrough, too! On another note, I love how you introduce the player to everything being a dream, a memory, by opening your eyelids. The music is also just a perfect choice! Sweet, nostalgic, calm :)
I just love this, had a bit of tears in the eyes at the end.
Reminds me at the long car rides with my family when I used to be younger.
Great game, it touched me on so many levels! :D
