The way you interpreted looming technique into gameplay was very interesting and it genuinely sad as it was taken away. Overall, one of the most unique entries this year.

This had a really interesting and insightful message. Your personal message at the end was also really sweet.

Interesting to leran how weaving works!

I legitimately got a little sad as all the weaving techniques I was getting good at slowly got taken away. Very impressive merging of gameplay and message.

I'm truly impressed how you were able to weave in such a valuable and important message with thoughtfully curated gameplay. Super well done! One of my faves this year!

A very interesting game! Learning how the weaving process works and then trying it out for yourself is quite a unique experience, really liked how the process changes throughout the game and I felt it did very well to reflect the message said at the end of the game.

At first I thought the weaving seemed difficult  to do efficiently and wondered if I was doing something wrong, but as I played I really appreciated how important that initial difficulty was to the theme. Great stuff.

This makes me want to learn how to weave. Simple and smart all at once. Also like the new assets, esp the intro music. :)

Possibly the most unique entry in the entire jam, I never saw a weaving simulation game before and had zero prior knowledge about the process. Aside from learning about an important part of the history of looms, this game also taught me that weaving is very difficult haha. I do like how the process can almost be compared to a rhythm game, and the message at the end of the game was very thoughtful and sincere.

Really cool and unique entry. A good example of gameplay and narrative pulling in the same direction to drive home a message. Also, I really enjoyed how detailed you were with the function of the loom itself. Both satisfying and informative. Very nicely done!

A nice little concept. The loom functions nicely and has the ability to create a great rhythm with the player. I find it interesting having the game having a reverse difficulty curve.

Thanks, Balbod! Did you play on web or Windows? I haven't actually gotten to test on Windows - dev'd on a Mac - would love confirmation that the Windows build works 😅

I played in browser. I did just try to download it to test for you and got this error though. Not sure why since everyone else's games are downloading ok. But the web version seems to work fine on windows machines so its not the end of the world.
