So you are George Washington. After a weird journey ended in a sudden realization that George had traveled back in time and must now team up with his 8 year old self to stop the American colonies from going to war with the French claims of Canada and instead be ready and willing to begin the revolution when the time comes…. Along with stopping the ever tacky use of an even number of stripes in the Colonial United States Flag.
I have decided this will be my final.. Because I loved making what I have so far. I am adding a coin system, health, and items to carry (albeit at a price of learning how).

This game was hilarious and had a surprising amount of content. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but I liked the dialogue and the fact that you had to dodge bears. Is George blurred because he’s from the future?
While I am not a huge fan of the art in your game I am pretty impressed with how much you’ve got done. Overall I feel like your game clashes a lot. I would not say that your music would be ideal for your game and the loop was apparent because the sound clip was so short. The dialogue was quite funny and I enjoyed the game play where I had to dodge the bears. I would love to see you fix this up and take it farther. Great start, would love to see what else you can do for the final.
I do kinda wish you had done a bit more work with the bounding boxes so that I wouldn’t have to go through the same stretch of dialogue every time I so much as grazed the tip of a tree or person. But I love the humor that is present in this game, and if you are to take this further, it can only get more hilarious.
fix that blurry pixel character at the beginning. there are so many things about it that are rough. no walk animation, the bounding box/repeating dialogue issue, restarts. but all of those things i don’t mind. they add so much character. honestly, this is sooooooo good and funny because its bad in some ways. i love the imagery, actually; the washington song makes this whole thing have a taste of “im the most fricking aweosme game every yeah!” which makes it so ironically good. yes more please.
Looks hilarious. Fix the blurry George, add the animations and use the dialog script I gave you. It’s ok to be intentionally amateurish-looking but there is a limit.
Love the storyline so far, I agree with Eric, you have a blurry pixel problem. Shit needs to get fixed.
I like where it’s going so far though for sure and I kind of like the kiddish, big pixel feel to it; reminds me of childhood (especially the Washington song).
This game at the moment is rather blunt. The idea is cool but the graphics, motions, interactions, soundtrack, and plot development are just there without a lot of refinement. I would say if you are continuing this game get the story down then start going back and making things work. You have the foundations, now start building everything up to a complete enjoyable level. Your ideas are not given justice if the quality of the visuals and story are never fixed and you just keep adding new content. Good luck! It will be great when completed.
I can never get past the bears, so I have no idea what happens after that. I’d say definitely add health in because those bears are ruthless. Or at least have the player respawn at the beginning of the room. The presentation definitely needs to be cleaned up (and the song got annoying after a bit) but I think you have a fun experience so far.
