and the band begins to play

I checked this out because I was looking for Bitsy games and I love the Beatles. I wasn't expecting to find such a moving little game, but I'm glad I did! I hope you and your loved ones are all as well as they can be, and thank you for creating Bitsy.

Adam, I'm a HUGE admirer of your work. You created this entire Bitsy community, something I can't be grateful enough for. You know what I felt when I discovered Bitsy and all the wonderful things people made using it? The same thing I felt as an eight-year-old discovering the Internet for the first time. 

This game is just so beautiful and I love how you evoke so many emotions with just a few pixels. The anecdotes you shared were beautiful. 

I also love the thing you say about driftwood and rafts. I should probably write it down lest I forget. But the chances are slim because this was probably one of the best 2 minutes of my life. 

Thank you, much love <3

Loved this.  As someone in the environmental field, existential dread is all too familiar.  It's good to remember that we can tie our rafts to others' rafts and create hope together.  Thank you for Bitsy.  <3

say, what was this made in, it looks like it could be made in pico-8 but i might be wrong

Good Game, 10/10

Pure poetry. Thank you for sharing this. It felt very personal and is one of my favourite Bitsy games I've played. <3

I never expected a game to be so deep and relatable.

Very good game, very good indeed.

really cute, well-written :)

really liked the game =) ...real depth...some pun intended :D

Really great game and I think a lot of us can relate with the message.

so hopeful, i got emotional moving upward once the hatch opened - lovely game!!

Thank you for the game!

As a person who has worked remotely since the lockdown started, and has witnessed as 2020 went by in all its horrifying glory, I can fully sympathize with you. And your calls for solidarity in the end resonate deeply with me.

And also thank you for Bitsy, this raft you've created for us all to cling upon in hard times and use as an instrument in our struggle!

Beautiful

Great story, like the graphics and the swimming is a great idea 👍

A beautiful song of hope <3

What a lovely game!!! Thank you for sharing your experience. I really loved how you used the exit from dialog to push the story forward and have really impactful changes to the scenery.
