Grosso guaio a Imola Town (Big Trouble in Little Imola) [ITA-ENG]

Hi everybody,
after several months of work (alone) I'm proud to show you my first game.
I love the art of storytelling but when I decided to create the game I was not a computer programmer nor a graphic designer so I studied and did my best!
"Big Trouble in Little Imola" is a free amatorial game imagined as a tribute for the eighties and nineties pop culture (including adventure movies, videogames, famous characters etc.) set in my hometown.
My only goal is to make the player relax, smile and enjoy the experience

Story
You're Joe, a famous Adventurer called in Imola, Italy (do you know? the former venue of the Formula 1 San Marino Grand Prix) to recover a legendary treasure.
During your visit to the town you will come in contact with several unexcpected mysteries that may help you (or not...?)

Written & Programmed by: Jacopo Salvi (original work)
Backgrounds and sprites: Jacopo Salvi (partly original work, partly picked from existing games -credited-)
Music: Various Artists (picked from existing games -credited-)

Features:
   -Full game with full story and -maybe- easter-eggs (Approx. duration of the game 2h 30min)
   -NO unfair puzzles
   -'80s and '90s flavour with many references
   -REAL locations and legends (some minor mods for story needs), you can explore Imola and get many real infos about it.
   -Certainly several imperfections caused by my little experience with games and because I'm not a native English speaker

I love the title and a tribute to the 80s and 90s can never be a bad thing!

Thank you very much!
You're right, it's a great feeling be able to complete a videogame
I hope people may enjoy playing the game as much as me, even non-italian peoples!
I tried to explain everything on the game so a foreigner can also explore the town without problems

Congrats on the release. I hope to have time to give it a try once I have time.

Are you involved in "Slap 'n Beans" game?

"Borrowing" sprites sure is a kind of involvement.

Nope

I borrowed sprites from here and there (all credited on ending credits) because I'm not a graphic artist
Big Trouble in Little Imola is only an amatorial "educational" FREE game born to tell a story (all the screenplay was written by me) and to allow Imola Town exploration

However the Slaps 'n Beans team is located in a city near Imola in Italy I love their work they're great programmers!
