A Day at the Lake

Hey! I played the game and wanted to say I appreciated a lot!

First of all, I really enjoy the art: the sprites are very well-drawn, and the characters look like they're from a kids TV show, and it is high-praise, especially considering the numerous variations the sprites have helped making it all feel like "animated", if it makes sense? For the rest of the art, I found the background BEAUTIFUL and the final CG really amazing! Finally, the GUI looked particularly great.

The programming was also very smooth: the introduction of the background truly enchanted me, and the sprite implementation was also extremely good.

Now, for the writing, it was such a cute and needed story! Truth to be told, I was at first annoyed at Fred, as he only came to Goobu to speak ill of others, without considering his need for peace, and I was worriedthe story would be about showing how Goobu could enjoy the company. So I was most happy when the story instead focused on Fred's loneliness, and it all made sense: even him constantly speaking about others, is somehow a way to not feel alone; and him badmouthing them is a way to blame his own solitude on them, rather than on himself. So I appreciated how Goobu, with a little empathy, managed to help Fred see things a bit more clearly, and how the game made sure to show that wanting peace, calm, and possibly loneliness isn't the same thing as being selfish and dismissing others when they are vulnerable.

So congrats on the game! It was a very wholesome experience, and I find it very well-crafted! Looking forward to more games from the studio!

I absolutely LOVED the game!! 💖 The art made my heart feel so warm 🥰and I adored the character interactions!! ✨💕

I'm not really a big fan of fishing, but I love being around people while they fish because it gives off such a peaceful vibe and I think the game captured that perfectly! 🥰

 Congrats on this amazing project!! 👏💖

NICE
