i liked the way you interpreted the theme, and the clones were fun to listen to. i haven't watched Birdman, were you inspired be that movie?
i probably wish that there were a bit more gameplay in the second part of the game, but overall it was nice.
I like how the clones convo references the Superman thingy: is it a plane? is it a bird? NO! It's Superman! (or sth like this xD)
Very sweet ending!
ALSO
Me being a translator and an editor and a writer... It's hard not to go into "edit mode" xD I tried my best not to...
However! Here are some typos / mistakes I found ;D
A few stars mange to shine through.
- probably meant to be "manage"?
deep in some arguement
- argument
Fortunately, the blinding light obscurs
- obscures
You shift the lid just enough to peak out.
- peek out
Fear not citizen
- add comma: Fear not, citizen.
I am hear and will make short work of these Multiplier clones.
- I am here
Looks like you had to go to a lot of trouble to do this.
- through a lot of trouble
You sit down on the roof to wait.
- You sit down on the roof and wait.
You know rooftops are often the scene of climatic battles between superheroes and supervillians, but at the moment, it seemed to be away from the action.
- seems to be away (the tense has to be the same)
Really cool with a story that was not from the superhero's point of view, but from a regular person (that still did something heroic). Great take on the theme.
Not too late to fix it, you can edit your entry text/links/add versions/etc even after the deadline.
@zettelkasten Glad to hear it's comfortable for phones. That's one of the nice things about Twine. Seems to work on a lot of platforms and supports the fullscreen button.
!> It would be nice be able to return back to the roof straight from the office. In general, with Twine games it's nice to have an option to skip a path if we're backtracking.
Either way, because of the well-thought scope this isn't really a big issue. Congrats on the entry!
