Commute
Dedicated to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. Use the right arrow key to advance (or swipe right on mobile).
Made for the Public transit bitsy jam.
Made with Bitsy. I also used Bitsy Room Converter, Borksy, Custom Bitsy Fonts, and numerous Bitsy hacks!
Thanks to everyone who made those tools. Special thanks to Sean for adding a feature to the transparent sprites hack for me!

It could have been the sad music I was listening to, but this was so beautiful and felt so deep that I cried.
As an SF resident, I really love this!
Hello! A tad embarrassing, but I wrote about your game for my blog. I thought it was a very special experience. Thank you for making it!

Great narration and poetry, some parts reminded me of a comics layout and I've enjoyed that. Great contribution to the jam too!

Interesting (and even poetic) game. I loved the pixel art. Too detailed and at same time limited in color. Congrats.
