Loved it! I'm very intrigued about how did you do to move the character while reading. Did you use multiple rooms? And if so, how did you do to show the text whenever you switch rooms?
yes, it's using multiple rooms and a single dialogue entry that has lots of {exit} commands lining up with the page breaks
did someone catch him in the end? It looks like something is popping up to grab the sailor. Did I find something?
Haunting, and excellently executed. The music, pacing, the poem, everything was spot on. I can't wait to share this with friends.
Oh that is a very clever thing to use bitsy for...
I love this trend of ~anamatics made with the platform, it's a really clever way of tricking the mind into seeing more animation than there is
I love it! It's very well done :)
Nice game!
I've read the lyrics along with the music in a sort of karaoke-like way. Don't know if it was the way you intended to play this game, but it was fun!
Yeah, I did in fact try to pace it so that it would be comfortable to read the lines along to the tune of the music; glad to hear that bit worked!
clever idea! The changing palettes is inspired 👍
that was so cool !!! the music adaptation, the way it plays in your head, the sprite itself, l imagined l could make it drown by controlling it but really nice little piece!
