Really love the style of this game. The story is wonderfully told and the characters have humor to them. I must say the controls are a bit uncomfortable when it comes to combat.
Decent horror game! I actually liked the style and the story was a bit... unusual, but that's a horror game, so it should be expected, I know I wouldn't want to be that pizza guy that visits suspicious areas to deliver food.
I didn't like the ending. I thought I did something wrong so played the game again but it seems I needed to do the same thing to finish the game and got the same ending. Too bad. Another meaning or an alternate ending would have been much more interesting. Otherwise, I really liked it.

Fiquei tão confusa que mal sei o que dizer, honestamente. Não confusa de uma forma ruim, mas de uma forma estranha, que me faz pensar que ao mesmo tempo que eu entendi o que aconteceu naquele lugar, eu realmente não compreendi o que se passou naquele lugar.
Esse jogo tem uma proposta muito interessante e, pelo menos me baseando nos jogos que eu já vi ou joguei, bastante incomum. Um jogo feito para gameboy, com uma OST surpreendentemente boa que se adequa perfeitamente á atmosfera que é construída ao longo do jogo. Sem contar que possui uma história simples, mas que se desenvolve de maneira bastante inesperada, e até bizarra.
por menores que sejam as interações com os personagens, cada um teve sua essência muito bem caracterizada, tanto por aquilo que falam quanto por sua aparência, que aliás, não destoam entre si, deixando a experiência a mais realista possível.
termino esse jogo cheia de perguntas, mas principalmente: Quem são, ou o que são todas aquelas pessoas? e os gambás? Bill? minha conclusão é de que existem coisas que são melhores deixadas da maneira que estão.
Boy o Boy o Boy... Don't Read if you clicked on this game just go ahead and play it, it's worth now...
First great music and simple but effective open menu screen. It got me very excited to see what was to come so I would say a great score in setting up early atmosphere. Then great premise with a nice start to the setup. I mean the game is called opossum country and I mean you see them at the beginning but they just play as more of a background character to the main characters and their dialogues. You really brought the characters to life a bit, maybe that's because I'm from the south (just realized alot of this is going to sound like glazing but I do these long reviews on every game that I play recently so I have to give flowers where due). So eventually I put the opossum thing in the back of my mind because these characters are cool and this b storyline with saving this girl is more then interesting enough to want to sick around until the a line and b lines meet. You can kind of see it coming by the end but it still was a great journey.
(I know my thumbnail is a rip but in trying to thinking about what really represented this game without completely spoiling it, This was the greatest image).
Nothing really negative to say about this game (mainly because it's a game jam game so it's great in the vein and could even compete for great out of that vein). Great Job, thanks for the opportunity to check your game idea out it was pretty cool. I will be checking out more.
If you took the time to read all of this I would really appreciate if you check out my video I really like this indie game I even dabble in game creation a bit myself so I try to give "good" "in-depth" feedback for these projects... I hope it's working. Thanks again.
I loved this game even if it took me a bit to figure out how to play the emulator not in my windows tab. The art style was nostalgic and the music was great. It became part of my 3 scary games video and is second in the line up if you want to check it out.
why do people do 3 games in one video? Is it because the games individually aren't long enough, maybe they are but you just like longer videos, no I think it's because that was the thing a few years back so people are just copying what they saw was successful. I wish we could stop with these and give each game and dev their spot light.
No offense to you I just do these reviews a lot and you see this a lot with little to no actually feedback other then "Oh this game was fun, can you guys go watch my video".
Timestamps are in the description of the video. No matter what I do I can't get the chapters to work. As for why I enjoy doing the 3 scary games, its more for me than the viewers. I love playing these games but I hate doing short videos (i also can't do scary to often so I want to get it all done at once for my nerves) because it makes me feel like I have to force myself to speak rather than just letting the conversation happen naturally. And yeah, I do it partially because it was popular but I'm still learning who I am as a creator and I personally love watching 3 scary games so I want to create content that I love to watch. But overall thanks for the criticism, I really enjoy getting it as it helps me better figure out what works and what I could work on.
As for the feedback on the games, I'm definitely working on articulating my thoughts more. I'm still pretty new to YouTube so just learning as I go.
really interesting game. cool plot a gameplay for a short game. game me nostalgia for my gameboy i had! i surprisingly did awesome killing the opossums
Played the game while doing cardio. Fun game, well written. The character dialogue art was consistent and creepy, except for the young woman at the beginning of the game. This may have been intentional, considering her part in the story. Regardless, she stuck out for better or for worse. Bill's sprite was the creepiest one, and the most memorable. The panning pace of the pixel art to bring attention to the details was well done. Foreshadowing art with the critters was *chef's kiss*. good stuff, Ben.
The part where the main character thinks to themselves after an event makes the direction of the game clear, no getting lost.
The character's personalities felt consistent with their notes, which is a big deal, considering that sometimes even AAA game companies fail at this. Dana did well with that.
I'm not a good source of authority (if at all) when it comes to music, but I think that the music did its job establishing the ambience of the game. There were parts of the game where the music changed, greatly highlighting the mystery and creepiness of the game. This deserves praise. Good stuff on Lunchz's part.
The ending, I enjoyed. The ending stuck in my mind, and was masterfully done, requiring quality art, music, and dialogue to deliver the depth of the final event ; a testament to all talented parties involved. I think that art's quality is determined by how memorable it is after the game has ended; The ending I'll definitely remember.
Took like 10-20 minutes to finish. And the game is only 0.5 Mb, what an accomplishment. Well done game, only one play through is enough, 10/10.
Hey! I'm playing from Brazil and mann this is soo fire I really enjoy, the horror here is grateful and the OST is soo good, rly creeps me out, tysm for sharing your art!
I played this yesterday, and I liked it. Very nice art and an interesting storyline. It's like a short story told around a summer campfire... Thanks for the emotions, and keep doing this!
Hey thanks for taking down the listing. I didn't ever release Opossum Country on a cartridge because it's a very short game so that seemed kind of wasteful to me. Instead I have made two other longer horror games and will be publishing a horror pack with Incube8 games.
I will keep that in mind that you can make cartridges though!
Fourth in the line up. I'm a sucker for game boy horror. And having spent a bit of time shuffling pizza from a to b for a living this had a little bit bleed over for me. A simple tight story, which has that weird fiction thing going on. Definitely a worth while trip. Best played blind though. Good work keep it up.

Really love the style of this game. The story is wonderfully told and the characters have humor to them. I must say the controls are a bit uncomfortable when it comes to combat.

i was severely attracted to the art style. and the story wasn't bad either LOL
I need more! Great game, beautiful art work.
I didn't like the ending. I thought I did something wrong so played the game again but it seems I needed to do the same thing to finish the game and got the same ending. Too bad. Another meaning or an alternate ending would have been much more interesting. Otherwise, I really liked it.

Good job with the video though
