A short reflection on a bygone place and time.
A couple-minutes-long Bitsy game I made in an afternoon.
Use arrow keys to walk around, and walk into the bright objects to interact with them. On mobile, you can swipe to do the same.

Thanks for this <3 Some bittersweet personal insight for us and perhaps meditative for you to make? Depressing final paragraph. Hope it doesn't stay that way forever.
Thanks for playing!
I've been wanting to get less precious with my games and approach game dev with more of a fast and loose mindset. I found out about Bitsy somewhat recently and it seemed like a fun format, so I just kinda threw this together in a few hours yesterday :)
This reflection is a little bittersweet, yeah, but these days it feels more like just a nice memory I can think back to. Sorry that last paragraph came across as depressing! It was meant to be silly, haha. The neighbors around there were incredibly passive-aggressive towards us (probably because we were a bunch of 20-somethings invading their neighborhood of typical middle-class nuclear families), and were the types of people that would over-react to a totally benign thing if it was different from what they expected. In all reality, I probably could get away with walking through that marsh. Pretty sure it was public land :P
Guess I read too much into it, I've just heard so many HOA horror stories 😅 Looking forward to any future fast and loose projects!
This was a beautiful way to connect memories of a bygone era with the physical experience of a peaceful, isolated walk.
Thanks so much! I’m happy to hear this :)
This was very nice, put me into this quiet memory in a cool way. The tiling's lovely too.
