The drawing 'signals' is very intuitive although the star shape is a bit difficult to pull off. I really like how the story is expressed through music and actions not words. The bonus has a great shift in tone with the music :D\n\nAll in all a stellar entry and I could easily see it being extended into a bigger game with more environments and marks.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1191461,"author_name":"Sylva Aster","author_uid":"sylva-aster","epoch":1776689123,"text":"Absolute Cinema","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1191858,"author_name":"jester1454","author_uid":"jester1454","epoch":1776698387,"text":"oh, its so cute and beautiful, and so satisfying mechanically. don't understand without guide, but i finished, and i love game!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1192193,"author_name":"DzejPi","author_uid":"dzejpi","epoch":1776704363,"text":"Probably the most adorable game I've played so far this LD! I admire this artstyle where models are as simple as they can be, but still ridiculously cute and most importantly, with so much personality. Makes me wonder whether I should give PicoCAD a try some day. \n\nMovement feels fluid and impactful. Everything feels so responsive and alive, and I love the scarf (hopefully it is a scarf, haha). Took me a little bit of trial and error to finish the whole game and learn all signals, but I managed to.\n\nReally loved the bonus mode after finishing, that is a nice touch, haha.\n\nThe only thing slightly bothering me was a bug with the scene transition; if you get to the edge of the screen, which triggers a camera move, but you don't continue forward, you will get stuck in the previous screen, but it's easy to work around, and figure out, so, no biggie.\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1193256,"author_name":"Jadener","author_uid":"jadener","epoch":1776723943,"text":"My favourite game this year so far.
