I spawned as a Sluglik twice in a row before having my station improved to Goblik. I worked on the factory floor, pruning the conveyor belt until, though the low resolution haze I realized, I was killing Slugliks. The poor pitiful creatures I had been damned to two lives as. Upon realizing this I realized a second thing. That perhaps I could wield my pruning fist against the Manlik who told me to punch down. I struck with bravery and determination but was quickly slain. When the dice rolled, 3 came up again and instead of facing the cruel reality of the factory floor once again I exited the game, ejecting myself from the cycle of rebirth.
Absolutely the weirdest game in the jam. This project is firing on all cylinders. Looks great, sounds great, feels weird and is absolutely opaque in the way that only really niche games can be. My only qualm is that this way too high tech to be a Game Boy game, but it's no longer 1989 and the constraints of a Z-80 processor bind us no longer. Good work!
