YOU DIT IT!

After a lot of walking it is in front of you: Earth's control. Finally all your questions will be answered, everything will be solved, if only you can find a way in...

Game made for the "Gaming like it's 1928 jam"

The burden of creation is a first person walking simulator where you traverse various surreal places inspired by 1920's cartoons scenarios, find curious characters and unravel what is really going on. Small narrative game, with somewhat of a hidden story.


Some of the media used for the project are:

KoKo's earth's control (1928): Main inspiration

The Gallopin' Gaucho (1928)

KoKo's Haunted House (1928)

Plane Crazy (1928) 

Steamboat Willie (1928)

Oswald the lucky rabbit in " bright lights" (1928)

Amazing pixel looking game well done

Cool stuff. at first It felt like myopia simulator 2024 but I got used to it. I actually like the style. This is in the web version.

Good job on the game. Even with this low resolution I managed to figure out what to do :)

First of all, thank you for playing my game.

I'm glad you liked it. The low resolution appeared even lower in the web version in my opinion, and that concerned me. However, I'm so happy you had a good experience and managed to finish it. Thank you for the kind words.

if you get the beer before you talk to the person at the gate, it breaks the game and you get stuck :(

Hi! Thank you for playing, and I apologize for the issue. Can you please provide more specific details about what happened? I conducted some testing in those areas, including giving the beer first and using other devices, but I found no problems. It might be just a one-time error, but unfortunately, it seems to have disrupted your experience. Thank you for the feedback—I'll be vigilant for similar issues since I can't replicate it. The order of the beers did not cause any issues in my playthrough either. Regardless, thank you for playing, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

(Additionally, there are three beers to collect. It might not be clear enough, and that could be the issue. I hope this is the problem and not something more complex)
