I think this game was really well made and polished.

Submitted

I really like the concept and art of this game.

Submitted

Took me some time to figure out what to do, but after that it got very fun! Great game :)

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 nice artwork and really creative

Submitted

Very beautiful game with lots of flavor :) I imagine this could be extended into a larger thing and still be very fun to play

Submitted

Really cool take on the time loop genre! Would love to see even more!

Submitted

With music and ambient sounds (birds chirping, wind, etc) this could be a really immersive experience!

Submitted

I don't think I've ever played any kinda similar game to this! Could really do with some background music but otherwise it's incredibly solid, would really love a full game ngl and lean a bit more into being a roguelite!

Submitted

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

Thats the end, there was supposed to be text there saying "thanks for playing" but the tween bugged out

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 !

Submitted

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!

Submitted

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.

Submitted

Amazing! Loved everything about it! From the little dialogues to figuring out the order of things. Amazing 10/10!

Submitted

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!

Submitted

Whoa! Really well polished! I love the art and concept! Impressive!
