I think this game was really well made and polished.

Wicked game! Very easy to play (even if it took me a bit to figure out what the objective was), and keeping notes of what happened at that spot in the last loop really helped. It felt great thinking about where I'd need to go to get the stats required, or getting an item and thinking 'oh, I know where this goes!' Great spirtes as well, very readable. I figured the - ??? - is supposed to be the end, so awesome job Rusty & Matt!
Very beautiful game with lots of flavor :) I imagine this could be extended into a larger thing and still be very fun to play
Really good interpretation and polish. Enjoyed the Runescape reference too. Does the game end with the ‘???’ screen, or was something more supposed to happen there? I couldn’t do anything at that point
Cool pixel art!
Liked your approach to the topic, and to the text-based rpgs in general :D
This game is one of my favorites so far, i had a lot of fun and it's very polished. The only improvements I could suggest is having some music, and also a button to restart the loop immediately because sometimes you know you messed up the current loop. Great job !
While I don’t play a lot of text-based games, this is really good. Instead of having dull colours and text, the vibrant palette, the cohesive UI, and the literally branching storylines, add a lot to the gameplay! Great work!
Super polished. Loved the artwork and all of the little details you put into crafting the story and the branching pathways, coupled with it looping and gaining information over time! Really well thought out and I enjoyed playing what I got through (only 2 pieces of info remaining).
Don’t have any other feedback or recommendations due to how nicely polished this was. Keep up the great work, I think yall have a great intuition on what makes a good game tick.
Amazing! Loved everything about it! From the little dialogues to figuring out the order of things. Amazing 10/10!
I really enjoy this! :D It reminds me of the old Grow games where you had to learn from repeating your play through the order to do things in! Really good fun! :) The visuals are so nice too, I can imagine playing this on a GBA back in the day!
Whoa! Really well polished! I love the art and concept! Impressive!
