For a comedy movie, I fail to see any humour in any of this. It's rather ironic that an animation (if you can call it that) that's against preachiness in entertainment is itself preachy. Maybe foamy oughta shut up per their logic, too.

Why so serious?

Thought it was going to end with her finding out she actually *was* dead - since the "portal to the afterlife" was conveniently located off the edge of the platform and could be interpreted as her walking to her death!

Neat game; although I didn't have the time to play it fully through, I like the concept. A few suggestions:

- It would be neat to be able to move files from a folder to another, like the recycle bin (is there a special award for just deleting everything on Roxy's computer? Lol)
- Playing the game on a windows tablet really highlights the deficiencies with Windows on touchscreen devices. There's no back button! I couldn't get out of fullscreen mode until I reattached my tablet's keyboard. Is it possible to add a small 'exit from fullscreen' button or gesture if the player is running windows?

Bleak-Creep responds:

We’re planning on adding some medals as well as a new look for the windows themselves (including a back button if you’re in a folder) and a few files that we ended up cutting to make the deadline for the jam soon.

We have a few other things we want to get to and I know the full screen thing you mentioned is one of them, (although I was unaware you couldn’t leave fullscreen once in it on certain devices)

Moving files from folder to folder might be something we add later too, but I know Intrapath had mentioned getting the folders working in the first place was a major hurdle. Rest assured though, we will put out at least one more update for the game that addresses the remaining issues.

Unfortunately, I can't play this on my windows tablet despite accelerometer working on it. It gets stuck at the loading screen saying I need to turn on accelerometer permissions. ThinkPad tablet 10, running Firefox on windows 11.

Edit: Checked the page for testing the orientation sensor and it works correctly on edge but not Firefox. Even so, the game doesn't work on edge for some reason. It does say though that typeof DeviceOrientationEvent.requestPermission !== 'function' so maybe that's why it's not working?

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

[Edit 01] Thank you so much for playing around! It definitely looks as if Firefox is out. On many tablets it seems to treat itself as the "desktop" version and ignore GPS, accelerometers, gyroscopes etc. There don't seem to be any workarounds, but, if you'll indulge us, maybe we can get somewhere with Edge! When you say, "the game doesn't work" with Edge, do you mean you the game reports that you don't have accelerometers or that the game starts but you can't control it? If it's the latter, can you try a few different orientations (screen 90 degrees to the earth, screen parallel with the earth, "upside-down", etc.)? If Bondi moves at all in any position it might help track down what's different than stock Android. Speaking of, obviously don't install it just for this, but have you tried something like Brave? Again, thank you for helping us bring the game to more than just iOS and Android.

Sorry about your having issues. Sometimes on some hybrid systems Firefox doesn't forward the accelerometer readings (the code checks for non-zero values). If you don't mind can you DM me your tablet model and try another browser? Also does this test page work for you: https://chrishewett.com/blog/device-orientation-test-page/ ? Thanks for letting us know! We want to make it playable for as many configurations as possible! :D

The level where it jumped from 2D to 3D was a holy shit moment for me. I did not expect that at all, 5 stars for that alone.

Goddamn this song is great. It has a wonderfully calm, yet epic feel like the beginning of TF2's The Calm soundtrack, but continues on for another 4 minutes :)

(Side note, there's no reason to get pissed of at the PAS maker for including this song in it, because 1, I - along with likely a lot other people - got to know about it only because it was featured in it, 2, it's noncommercial and 3, it's been removed now IIRC)

Nice

I found this song a little silly, like you said, but at the same time nice to listen to. However, there were a few problems I found with this. I'll elaborate later.

The intro is a little robotic, which I like, but I find that it's a bit long (0:00 to 0:30) to just actually get to the main part. Normally I find around 10 seconds are just about enough, but only under certain circumstances can they extend over to 20 or 30 seconds.

The rest of the song from (0:30 to 1:40) is a little medium-paced, which sets the stage for the chorus which is some instruments playing repeatedly, but not in an order that makes it repetitive. Good job.

The part where your voice came in which was tweaked, I hope (!) was a little creepy to me the first time I listened to it. The next time I listened to it it reminded me of a monster baby's voice, which was a bit weird but strangely fit in this audio piece.

I liked the extro a bit more, because this time instruments weren't repeated, but fresh new ones were added into the mix, some others muted, and the last part faded. I would've liked it if it was looping, though, since the fade out part was the only thing I had a slight "problem" with.

All in all, a good piece of music worth listening to for 4 minutes and 40 seconds.

~~ Summary ~~

~~ Good points ~~
1) Repeated instruments, but not repetitive
2) Nice to listen to
3) Interesting mix of voice

~~ Bad points ~~
1) Long intro

Thanks for the review and the nice words!

Long intro is a very good point. I don't know about the length in seconds, but cutting in in half is a good idea.
Of course, my voice was tweaked. I more thought of it like a dwarven trio, but monster baby's good too :) My real voice can be heard in my "B.O.B." submission.
I'm against the looping of the extro, because it peaks in the end and I want it to stop there. But I could probably exchange the fadeout ending for ... I don't know, a weird syncoped chord or something.

Thanks!! *hug*

Nice

I can listen to this all day.

Thanks man!

Nice to see you got the tablet to work. Digital art isn't quite the same as traditional because there's slight differences (e.g. shading) but once you get used to it it'll look great. As it stands, it looks much cleaner than before, and I look forward to your future submissions!

Waterina responds:

thank you

Reminds me of Mob Psycho 100 a lot.

Their eyes look like they're carved out of their face.

Thanks for dropping by!
