I'm about to release a little interactive poem in a very similair style and with music of a good friend of mine (@earlchives). It's a way smaller experience though. But stay tuned, i keep making games like this one :)
That was a beautiful game! Thank you so much for sharing with us! I love the rain and the atmosphere, and the simple art style that is very different and beautiful. Thank you so much!
When you upload your game to itch.io, you get the option to check a checkbox saying: "Fullscreen Button". If your game is already on itch.io, it's under "Edit Game" -> "Fullscreen Button"
I loved the visuals! Also, great book recommandation, but I believe the book is only called "Der Astronaut" in German, it's actual name is "Project Hail Mary" :D
Thanks a lot! Really glad you enjoyed the experience and you even read the book notes haha. You're right! :O That's the correct title, ay have to fix that - thanks for pointing it out. I don't get why they often choose completely different titles for translation.
this game was so visually beautiful, and very calming and fun to play through. kudos to your pixel art and writing!! I did not know there was a Bitsy 3D, I will have to check it out!
Thank you so much Jake! Your feedback and your donation means a lot to me! I never received money for my games before from a Player. Really, thanks a lot for the support!
Btw, I was very keen to play your Game Glitch Dungeon because it just looks beautiful - unfortunately my setup here is MacOS only atm and I don't have access to Windows for unlucky reasons. This will change in a few weeks and playing your game stays on my ToDoes! I'll let you know when I played it.
THIS IS SICK! I can't believe it was made in Bitsy! But then again you peeps are the most creative. This made my day, this is ART. Can't believe this is your first ever Bitsy game!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the game. If you need help or have some questions about Bitsy 3D fell free to DM me. :) let me know if you got something going :)
A very unique art style and I got a kick out of the quirky humor. The hidden "blue screen of death" joke really got me. I feel like this is how I act and talk when I'm sleep deprived.
wow incredible 3D work! i loved exploring this little building! the colors are fantastic, i like how bright it is inside the house compared to outside; great atmosphere :)
i havent used this fork but it looks really interesting. You can easily add new colors to bitsy by simply adding new rgb values to the palette in the game data. No fork or hack needed. You can assign additional colors to tiles when you add eg. "COL 3" at the of the tile code in the game data. This would assign the fourth color of the palette to the tile since it starts with 0.
Of course! Yes the game was made only with the available Bitsy 3D beta :) The game only uses the basic Bitsy logic if you look at it closely, only thing I haven't seen in other Bitsy games is the use of 3D verticality like the different height parts of the level.
In 3D Bitsy all height layers of an individual room are created as sub rooms that function as those layers. If you connect those subrooms with the basic Bitsy room functions/logic you can let the player teleport along the y-axis within the same room.
I usually start to stack a simple box tile on top of each other within a new main room. Until I can't place another box on top of it. This way Bitsy 3D creates automatically another subroom each time you stack them. Then I delete all the boxes. You end up with an empty room in which all the Y-levels are connected and you can start to create your environment. I hope this made sense. Good luck :)
If you have any further questions or if you need some help feel free to DM me over on Twitter.
As a lover of creative things done with softwares this is reaaaally creative. Ive been hours trying to do things like this so I know the amount of skill and effort involved, keep it up!
Aww, thanks for these kind words! Comments like yours keep me motivated, really glad you enjoyed the game! Wish you all the best for your projects too.
What. on. earth. is. this?
I’ve never seen bitsy in 3d before. It’s amazing!
I loved the theme, the palette and the story. Really well executed (though I do not know what the meaning of the control room was… was it a metaphor for the SLEEPY BOI’s brain? 🤔)
Thank you for opening my eyes to the world of Bitsy 3D!
Thanks a lot! :D Glad that you enjoyed my game so much and that I can push the attention for Bitsy 3D a little. If you create something yourself, let me know. :) Yes my intention was to create a metaphor for Sleepi Boi's brain with the control room and also it's an excuse to twist the path a little the player needs to go haha.
The game looks absolutely adorable and i love it's aesthetic! I think the biggest issue with me is how easy it was to lose the player character since around 50% of objects are the exact same color as him. still very enjoyable but there's just multiple moments with me squinting at every blue object lol.
Thank you for playing, the kind words and the nice feedback! :)
You're right about the player character visibility, really funny, I just wrote about that issue in another comment 5 minutes ago. it was an intentional (risky) choice and I thought already not everyones gonna like this. I choose the color because I liked the effect of "darkness" outside the house and how it affects the player visibility. (maybe too much) Def an aspect to improve!
Using pastel colours in a games environment is kind of touch and go and can have varying affects (some negative and some positive), this games pastel environment works SO well for the storyline and theme as you follow Sleepi Boi on his narcoleptic journey to find a good nights rest. A short and sweet game thats reminds us not to forget the key in strange places! I recommend this game of Art!
Thanks a lot for the very lovely and detailed review! Glad that you liked the palette and you didn't had any visibility issues with the player character. I know it was a risky choice to make the character the same color than the highlight color outside but i figured that it's visible enough.
Wow thanks for those words and the very positive feedback. Means a lot if i manage to inspire people with my games! If you need help with Bitsy just let me know and I'll see if i can help you out. The game itself isn't using much hacks besides the 3D fork :)

this game is absolutely beautiful i love it so much !!
Thank you so much! I saw that you started a project with Bitsy3D too, if you need some tipps or advice let me know. :) Happy to support.

Now that I think about it, I think Bitsy 3D could be great for games along the lines of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.
Had to look up the game - totally! This kind of game concept fits perfectly.
THIS IS SICK! I can't believe it was made in Bitsy! But then again you peeps are the most creative. This made my day, this is ART. Can't believe this is your first ever Bitsy game!
Means a lot astrooooo :D thank you!
Come and join the Bitsy fam haha. Its not that hard to get started with Bitsy 3D :)
The perfect game to play just before bed :)
Its awesome that you feel this way - this was totally my intention for the vibe of the game. Thanks for playing and the feedback
wowowow!! so delightful at every turn, makes me want to learn bitsy 3D!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the game. If you need help or have some questions about Bitsy 3D fell free to DM me. :) let me know if you got something going :)
Playing this at 3am was transcendent. Great game :)
Thank you very much! I can imagine, I wanted to give the game a relaxed late night vibe I would enjoy playing when I can't sleep haha.
Such a cute game. Had a good time playing!
A very unique art style and I got a kick out of the quirky humor. The hidden "blue screen of death" joke really got me. I feel like this is how I act and talk when I'm sleep deprived.Thank you for the game!
this is so pretty!!
Thank you! :) I'll check out your games too!
Wholesome:)
Thank you! Glad you had a good time playing :)
This was something that blew me away.
Thank you! :D really glad you enjoyed it so much
wow incredible 3D work! i loved exploring this little building! the colors are fantastic, i like how bright it is inside the house compared to outside; great atmosphere :)
Thanks a lot for playing and the kind feedback! :)
I am really blown away by this game! One of the best bitsis I have ever played.
But I got a little question: how did you have this many colors in bitsy 3D? Did you use this fork? https://aurysystem.github.io/bitsy-forks/bitsy-color-3d/index.html
Thank you! :)
i havent used this fork but it looks really interesting. You can easily add new colors to bitsy by simply adding new rgb values to the palette in the game data. No fork or hack needed.

Learning so much hidden knowledge of bitsy right now, thank you for adding to it!
Always welcome! Happy to help when i can :)
May I ask: did you make this game using this tool only? https://aloelazoe.itch.io/bitsy-3d
I’m really impressed and would like to give it a go myself!
Of course! Yes the game was made only with the available Bitsy 3D beta :) The game only uses the basic Bitsy logic if you look at it closely, only thing I haven't seen in other Bitsy games is the use of 3D verticality like the different height parts of the level.

Lots of fun! I really like the 3D pixel art style, and the message of the game is really cool. Well done, hope to play more!
Thanks a lot for the kind feedback and I'm glad you liked the message! :) Getting some good rest has so much to do with letting go the thoughts right?
I'm quite sure there's more to come haha thanks!
first time to play bitsy games in 3D - love it
Thank you. We need more cute 3D pixel worlds - let's go! :D
