Also, it's not clear that you need to press enter on the opening screen, because the label for that control doesn't appear until after you press it. I'd be really interested to see how this idea could be expanded on - great work!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":785289,"author_name":"magicdweedoo","author_uid":"magicdweedoo","epoch":1649139936,"text":"interesting lil thing i got 951","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":785297,"author_name":"Boon","author_uid":"boon","epoch":1649140072,"text":"Minimal game with minimal agency, maybe this is saying something about us all, haha.
