Well, what a game for me to end off on, since I don't think I'll be able to finish any of the others I have left before rating closes. Still woof! Love all the sprites you have of Birch. I appreciate that he has a... plant name as well. heheh. I don't know if I have much to say that hasn't already been said, I know this is one of the most rated games of the jam, coming out a full week before the deadline, but still I thought it was good. The jazz, the weird quirks we try and hold onto after we lose everything else. Shrek and Shrek 2. Admittedly I think shrek two is a better film, but I appreciate the uh... cinematic parallels about transforming into a monster and still loving someone through that anyway? heheh that might be a bit of a reach but I'm always glad to see those films get mentioned as silly as it is. The ending is... graphic, but I like that you didn't shy away from it either. I understand the desire to cut away from the end, and let it be poetic, but I think there's also beauty to be found in the gruesomeness as well.
anyway that said if I was trapped with a musclebound himbo for weeks it would not take me nearly as long to shoot my shot but at least they got to kiss and doze off together.
