Life In The Analog Age: Rainy Day

aww yeah, that was just lovely!

i really loved this, it really emits the vibe of being stuck at home during a rainy day in the analog age, love the color pallete too, very cozy 

I really enjoyed this; the color palette, the character artwork, and the quality of the writing especially. It's got good pacing, too, which is ever so important in an adventure game.

I played it on emulator. There, I ran into some problems with saving and loading (and also with 'giving up') in game; in this way, I found myself both soft-locked and hard-locked once respectively.

But I liked it enough to start over, use save states, and finish it proper.

These slice-of-life, small, pixel art-focussed, (obviously indie) adventures are an area of interest for me these days.

Fun game! It was a nice, warm, fuzzy departure from what I usually end up playing 🙂

Thank you verry much for this Masterpice of Homebrew gaming. There should be definetly a much bigger part two, eventualy a half day outside and evening inside? Or a part that plays in the same year but with older childs. Or a few years later, also 1989 oder 1990 where there was the NES and Gameboy we didnt play them the whole day, so it was like in this game with the Comodore :) you Play but you also enjoy thinks like Lego, Comics, Action Figures and so on.

I realy love that Game you build, spend arround 1h for 100% and was impressed of the realy good idea to implement also games in a game to make it feel like real :) 

I was born in 1988 and a child from the 90's but i also feel me that much remembered to my childhood when i played it, realy impressive. 

Ok the movement of the Charakters could be a bit better (you stuck often but its not bad for the gameplay itself so its only a little info) its like reading my english xD i think you can understand what i mean it them but its not the best how i tell it :D 

This is also my first coment on Itchio because i only made my account to rewview your game and whant to thank you for it.

An hour more gameplay and press it on a Cartride, i would defintly buy it promptly for 50€ or more (with boxing and printed manual, eventualy a few goodies).

After the first 5min i thought "its ok but test another one". Thanks that i dont do it, 5min later after finish the first two missions it captivated me and after the next 5min where i also found the first secret i was realy impressed and cant stop playing until i finished it :) now after finish it i whant more :D much more from that stuff. 

Realy, realy interessting and exciting idea you had for this game. I didnt know any other game that made remembering on those nice days with that simple gameplay and that on a Game Boy, absolutely briliant :)

Thank you so much for this experience! :)

*Played it on real Game Boy and Analogue Pocket with Everdrive GBX7

Completed it but not to 100%. I did not find the 3rd secret but suspect something to do with beer bottles. Relaxing game I played through while waiting to pick a relative up from a hospital appointment which was around an hour. The in game space invaders difficult but just kept mashing the button and only moved when no more to shoot in the area I could not get pass level 4 as then seems they shoot quicker than I can. This is a spin off a comic series that I did not know about, hope to see more. I played through this on a flashcard on a DS lite. Very well put together game.

Yeah, the only problem is the save function. So i used save States for it, but It's very nice game. I like it and finally i can beat it after some puzzle.... nice work.

I had a blast with this! Love the retro feel of it all! 

ᴵ ᶜʳᵉᵃᵗᵉᵈ ᵃⁿ ᶦᵗᶜʰ.ᶦᵒ ᵃᶜᶜᵒᵘⁿᵗ ʲᵘˢᵗ ᵗᵒ ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵉⁿᵗ.  One of the best (and finished) GBstudio game! Challenging fetch puzzles. Fresh art style. Fitting music. Immersive world. Gave me nostalgia to a time I wasn't even born in. I'll deffo check out your webcomic after this!

rn, I'm stuck on the TV guide part. I lazed out going back to the TV and just guessed (wrongly) the channel to mom. I refreshed the game, hoping I'd go back to before I went to mom. Clicked "Continue", but the game got stuck on the menu / "Hours left to survive" screen. I guess, playing in the browser didn't actually save my progress? I'm contemplating whether to give up because I don't want to go through all those again.

Also, there's one thing in the map layout that bothers me a bit. It's just minor and I know it'd be inconvenient and too late to change it. But the stairs between ground and second floor could go on switching me back and forth forever if I press right. I suggest it to instead be U-shaped stairs or something.

Edit: pressing *right (instead of left) would get me switching rooms back and forth forever.

This was really fun and had some great challenge to it.

Love the soundtrack and the art so much. Well done!

It's a great game, but I found a bug. After beating the high score once in Space Invaders, if you try to play the game again and score even higher (4 rounds), you'll be stuck in the game screen. The ship goes left and right, but no more waves of enemies will appear and you never get back to the normal game. I don't know if it happens all the time, but now I'm stuck and unable to find the 3rd secret mission.

Nice game!

I enjoyed it until I couldn't find the Space Invaders cartridge and gave up

One of the best, most atmospheric GBstudio games I've had the pleasure of playing.  

Kudos mate, really threw me back to what seems like a thousand years ago!

Really nice and nostalgic game! Especially as someone that grew up with a Vic 20 and no internet.  The only issue I ran into was the space invaders.Is it possible to actually beat the high score?
