Hope it helped your mind for a while. You certainly seem to have put a lot into it, because it was super polished. Can't really find anything to complain about except maybe that I've seen similar things before, but that's not necessarily a bad thing~\n\nNice graphics, simple but with lots of personality. Looked great even on a huge monitor in fullscreen mode. The music and sound effects are very nice too and fit the pixel art of course.\n\nGameplay is the star attraction here tho, and you once again did a lot with very little by introducing the slight variations in the creatures without adding more inputs to worry about, and you introduced each new mechanic without words in a very nice way. Of course quick resets also help a lot. In general, just good ol' tried and true game design principles that you stuck to nicely. :)\n\nOverall an impressive amount of stuff in here, with so many levels also, as well as an intro. The fact that it's a compo game is quite amazing to me.\n\nReally good job, and best wishes for the future to you.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1120794,"author_name":"cassowary","author_uid":"cassowary","epoch":1729894571,"text":"I'm glad to see you were able to put something together this time, despite the circumstances.
