Update: you can now PLAY in the browser of any device thanks to itch for more file support!

Aiming to be happy with it by January 2025, I'm looking for feedback but also input--what else do you want to do in the game? It would be cool if this could be for the people by the people! (July 2025 update literally no one has contributed!)

Concept:

Find the hidden gem in each era to unlock levels in order of album release date (including Taylor's Versions) if you want to go the linear route, but this open world adventure includes access to any era by going to the globe map in the back of the library at the heart of each town. You will begin in Debut town, where you can learn how to turn enemies into allies, deliver packages to the townspeople, venture into forests and hedge mazes, collecting hearts everywhere you go...

This was made to be a computer/console game with a keyboard or controller, not a phone/tablet game, but there is touch support and for physically disabled players sometimes this is the most accessible option.

For playing on a TV, a simple retro controller with joystick/d-pad and 2-4 buttons is recommended (all about this and more on my devlog). Some posts on here are announcements of new features while others fall under FAQ and/or walkthroughs of the development process, like my entry on how to win the game. 

These are the cover artist credits, please note I did edit the songs by slowing them down and/or doing EQ work because chiptunes tend to be grating with the high-pitched sounds, or muddied by the bass. Anyway some of them are on audio streaming platforms but they are all on YouTube:

8-Bit Arcade (several)

8-Bit Misfits (several)

8-Bit Universe (several)

Chiptune Planet ("Christmas Tree Farm" only)

Mooph (“Picture to Burn” only)

Musical Corner (“Our Song” only)

Raxlen Slice Modern (several)
