A few small quibbles though:\n- it took me most of the game to realize that certain pixels would prompt monologue, instead of it just being random after so many steps or something. That could maybe be a bit more obvious?\n- Related to that, since hitting any key will advance monologue as well as move, I found myself accidentally skipping text pretty frequently.\n\nI loved the bits of story and the knit design, but I admit I did end up testing every square to find out where the \"mistakes\" were.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"a4x8e6","author_uid":"1224368","time":"2020-10-06T21:54:43Z","epoch":1602021283,"modified":1602021283,"text":"The poetry and design was lovely.

I love how the gameplay compliments the story of this old superstition, that's pretty neat (or should I say pretty knit)! I liked that it was pretty short, perfect for a jam game imo. It was also pretty hard to spot the mistakes sometimes, but also fun to track them down. I was a little confused by the speech bubble pixels as first, as I thought they were the mistakes, but then they disappeared. One minor tip: I think having the same interaction buttons (space and arrows) to skip through the text makes it so that people skip a lot of the text by accident, because they were just walking around. I definitely skipped a few by accident! Woops. Anyway, good job on this game, love the idea and execution!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Bellivit","author_uid":"1190096","time":"2020-10-16T22:04:30Z","epoch":1602885870,"modified":1602885870,"text":"Very creative style!

On top of the nice poem's sentiment around making mistakes, the gameplay is relaxing and fun. Though if I'm being completely honest I couldn't find the mistake in the reindeer level so I button-mashed through it. The music is so perfect too. Really creative use of Bitsy.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"TheCrittersCove","author_uid":"1017652","time":"2020-10-19T16:50:03Z","epoch":1603126203,"modified":1603126203,"text":"Simple, but very endearing game.
