This is amazing, I love everything about it!
Incidentally, it reminds me of a game jam entry I made a few years ago, Crazy Date (which I recently started working on again), which combines action and unpredictable dating dialogue. Not here to promote it or anything, I was just struck by some of the bizarre similarities between our games - in case you're interested in checking out what I mean (and tell me if you think I'm totally wrong lol), here's the link! https://kooky.itch.io/crazy-date (Note: It's not the most intuitive of games though!)
Anyway! I love your geese's hair and clothes, and the well-written dialogue. The graphics are extremely charming. I adore the idea of combining the action with the decision-making. :D Definitely makes for tricky gameplay! I look forward to hearing what sound of soundtrack might accompany this; I think it could really add to the mood!
Thanks! I enjoyed the vibe of your game as well!
Ah, thank you so much! Keep up the great work!
Hey if you want to enable HTML5 on your godot game go to your game settings and enable sharedArrayBuffer. I know this because I use godot as well :)
This should always be enabled in Godot 4, which was used!
I liked the art style and the game within a game. I was a bit distracted trying to do the chat and game at the same time.
Cool, great job considering the time limit! The smash tv style game and the dialogue system is really neat!
It won't let me download the game. I get Blocked Page An error occurred during a connection to w3g3a5v6.ssl.hwcdn.net. The web one says press start but I haven't found which key is start. I even plugged in a controller and pressed all buttons, no luck.
Strange! It works for me using Edge! Its a .exe and .pck file built using Godot 4!
I got it to work in Firefox and Chrome. I have to press space bar. No indication of what key to press to get the game to start. I had an awesome time playing the game and talking with the goose. I got to the weeknd. It took me quite a while with the farmers to realize that I was supposed to press space bar to talk while I played. This game will get some serious play time. You guys deserve some serious props for thinking this up. </3
Thanks! Appreciate your comment! :) Its a bit on the hard side ye! If we'd more time I'd love to make the control scheme more obvious!
Really enjoyed the game and loved the Art!
