The wind mixed with the Slowness of everything (Note the walking was slow after I fished too much) the weird talking sounds and the art makes it feel off, and I love it. like if the first episode of salad fingers was a game.

i cant tell if i love or hate this

You know, for as low-effort and goofy as the game looks, there's actually a decent little adventure in here. I liked wandering around and picking up clues from the various denizens to figure out how to get all 5 dollars for whatever a Newgrounds burger is. I also liked all the little touches that the game had, such as the cool shooting animation (and ending animation, speaking of), the ability to blast everyone, the hidden fishing minigame, and of course the funny dialogue and sounds. So unlike how it looks, there is some intentional design and effort put into it here and there, and it is quite charming in that respect.
But at the end of the day, it definitely was a pretty janky and short game. Now some of the jank could be excused by it being true to the design and goofy aesthetic, but some of the annoyances like the vague hitboxes, delayed shooting animation, random spawns and so on could just be plain frustrating, leading to unfair deaths.
And I gotta say that you did commit a game design cardinal sin in my book. If you design a dialogue system with text that gets typed out, a player should always be able to hit a button to have the text immediately fill to the end (and not skip to the next line until another press). This game does not allow that, and for that, you will burn in heck for you have damned so many players to waste so many seconds waiting for the text to fill out: so many seconds!

Thanks! Also you can press and hold Z or M to speed up dialogue!
