Beautiful art style and animation, intriguing atmosphere and story, and simple but satisfying Sokoban-style puzzles. I immediately played it again because of that mysterious… object at the end.
Nice work! You got a lot out of Pulp and its limitations.
Thanks so much for the review. I'm happy to hear you went back, I was hoping it would encourage a repeat playthrough.
Wrote about your game on the Best(TM) Playdate website on the web, and compared it to many of my other favorite games. Great work, thanks for making it! Was looking forward to it for months then devoured it in one day lol https://www.playdateunofficial.com/the-games/coda/
Wow.. thanks so much. It’s my first game and I was anxiously waiting for some real feedback outside of people close to me. I’m really happy to hear that I achieved the things I was aiming for. Really appreciate it.
Looking reaaaally good
Thanks!
are you aware you can run timed sales in itch.io rather than temporarily changing the base price?
I have become aware more recently yeah... maybe I should update it now. Thanks for the tip!
With the red and black color scheme in the trailer, I expect we'll see this game get ported to the VirtualBoy as well....right? ;) From what I can see of these screenshots, they look top notch for a Pulp game.
Hahah, you're not the first person to mention the Virtual Boy actually. I wish I could do it in black and red...
Thanks very much! It should be out sometime in January, it's very close now.
Love the art style man!
