But the puzzles where basic and I found most of the challenge coming from the font. I also thought it was too short (I accidentally played it 3 times without realizing I had) But as a base, this has plenty of potential for a puzzle game with a wacky little concept, just needs more outcomes and more choices\/puzzles.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ravarion","author_uid":"1127053","time":"2018-12-03T02:32:46Z","epoch":1543804366,"modified":1543804366,"text":"@nate-wec Hey, thanks for the feedback.  I fixed it so it doesn't loop back to the start anymore.

I appreciate what you were going for, though, and you did very well considering the self-imposed limit.\n\nThe \"STUDY\" puzzle was my favorite.
