Holy cow, is this the first quintuple A game?

I... don't know what on earth I just played but it was hilarious and a blast to go through. Great work and thanks for the laughs!

Pure kino! I mean it's very interesting experience and actually fits the theme very well. Wish i'd seen this yesterday, sleep-deprived, right after finishing my own entry.

There are games that take themselves a bit too seriously.. and then there are games that don't. :)

Aside from all the memes, you kept me hooked. Just wanting to see what extravaganza would happen next.

I give this one, AAA!

There is A distinct reason that A game such as "A?!" is enjoyable. A, being a letter, is now also A game. A feature that I enjoyed from "A?!" game is the sense of hype that seemed to flow from its inner A. A suggestion that I have is to publish "A?!" game on Steam, as it is A masterpiece. Grade A work.

I had fun, in a bizarre and absurd waaaaaaaay


I have started **[collecting entries](https://github.com/stars/dhmmasson/lists/ludum-dare-58)** backed up by github! I have also collected a few tricks to make the repos shinier across my Ludum dare participations

---

# Repository name and Description

You can update the repository name (I always start with ldXX, and I update it when I have found the name of my game) without breaking links (github redirects old names to new ones: https://github.com/dhmmasson/ld58 still redirect to my repository), and add a description for inclusion in the list.

# Topics

Consider using these **topics** on your github description to make your Ludum Dare entry more discoverable:
- `game`
- `game-development`
- `ludum-dare`
- `ludumdare`
- `ludumdare58`
- `ludum-dare-58`
- `ld58`

# README and Badge

Add a README.md with at least the link to your ldjam entry page and a short description. I have created badges that you can use to decorate your README:

```
![Ludum Dare](https://img.shields.io/badge/LudumDare-58-f79122?labelColor=ee5533&link=https%3A%2F%2Fldjam.com%2Fevents%2Fludum-dare%2F58)

```

# Cover Art

You can also use your cover art for the ```Social preview``` image in the repository ```Settings```

# Stars

I have starred and added your repository to a list of ld58 compo: <https://github.com/stars/dhmmasson/lists/ludum-dare-58>

(Also, I am on a quest to have a repo reach 10 stars. If you play my game, consider [leaving a star on my repo](https://github.com/dhmmasson/tilesCollector) as well.)

Jamers, hudge thanks all for you replies! Your feedback warms my heart! I really like, what I do, and I think, that this game bigger than myself. I will continue travel light to interest more people with this game. I not ironic think, that it has steam potential

--------------------------------------

Спасибо всем за фидбек, он греет мне душу. Мне очень понравилось то, что получилось. Я думаю, что это та игра, которая больше своего автора. Я неиронично думаю, что у игры есть стим потенциал, поэтому буду дальше пытаться работать так же налегке, как я эту игру разрабатывал.

An audacious attempt at assembling an artistic amusement. The atmosphere feels ambient, airy, and almost airy-acidic in emotional aura — alternately alluring and agonizing. The audio: a sparse arrangement of ambient arpeggios, adding an atmospheric accent to action sequences and ambient ambles alike. The aesthetic is austere, angular, and alluringly ambiguous — artful abstractions that awaken curiosity.

Brazilians have memes too. It's a shame they only make sense in our language.
