I was not expecting that type of story at all. I was completely caught off guard by everything that happened. Great game!
Good art direction and story always wins. There is always a melancholy that occurs with when dealing with loops and maybe why its so satisfying when it is concluded so well. Recommended.
3D ponies! I thought they were going to hold hands and shoot a rainbow beam for real. Being on the beach as the ending credits and music dropped was nice. The menu and buttons can be unresponsive sometimes, like when you go to the main menu after completing the game, but good game nonetheless.
Ah, yeah I'm trying to fix that bug. Thanks for playing! Maybe one day they'll get to shoot that beam.
Really cool game, actually a great commentary on not only the issues with rigid gender norms but capitalism and and the need for a focus on a systemic rather than individualistic approach to fixing these things if that is indeed possible. It also has a great message about the need to push forward even if you may not ultimately succeed in the way you would want to. Its also really funny and has a great soundtrack!
I've been toying with an old school prerendered 90s CGI style for my own personal work/experiments recently, so I was instantly drawn in by the old school graphics of the game screenshots and itch page decoration!! It's all very cool!
It's a very charming game with a compelling story! I wasn't sure what to expect going in (story-wise), but it ended up being very interesting.
Additionally I love how the graphics quality option in the setting menu is locked to "super low". Very old school :)
Overall very good work!!
Thanks for playing! I didn't actually mean to lock the graphics option but uh, if the shoe fits. (｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ
It was longer than I expected, but it was a great experience. Those early 2000s pc 3d graphics are delightful. The music is fantastic. The credit's song is lovely. I would add it to my playlist. The characters are so expressive, and the animations fit their personalities well. I don't know what I am anymore, a pony or an insectoid! Haha. I liked it very much.
My mandatory white pony reference!
Us ponies are so resilient.
Oh gosh, I absolutely love it. I knew I had to play it when I saw the old-school 3d graphics. Wow, it is an absolute trip. Knowing your amazing previous visual novels I was ready for some horror but getting a heartwarming message on top of it was just the perfect ending.
Thank you for making this game. It certainly is one of my Spooktober favorites.
thank you thank you!!! I was worried people wouldnt appreciate the ending, I'm so glad you did! \(@^0^@)/
Absolutely wonderful in every regard!!! Heartwarming, beautiful, and endearing. Hahaha! That's one hungry machine!
This was a really cool read! The moral was super well executed! Had a blast with this one, I put together a video highlighting my run. Hopefully it shows how fun it is in motion to any future players-to-be!
AHHH I was so happy to get to help out with the game page assets for this project ! :D It was really fun watching you all work so tirelessly on this and I'm very impressed with how great it came out! All of the models and textures are so intricate and stylized, giving the entire game a very polished look and contributing to the unique ambience/atmosphere which I LOOOVE. I also am really in love with all of the characters; their banter, inner conflicts, and relationships. My favorite has to be Carminamine! All in all, this game is fantastic and made me think.
OH WOW! The aesthetics for this game are so breathtaking and nostalgic, it reminds me specifically of the Candyland 1998 pc game I used to play as a kid I LOVE this so much! The entire art/design of this game is actually perfect I wish I could rate the visuals higher than 5 stars
I also don't know a lot about music but I really like the song playing in the menu for the game.
GREAT job on this game it is so stunning <3 <3 <3
I looked at alot of old pc games for inspiration but I did not see this candyland game and I wish I did, this rules. Thank you :)
Actually speechless I need to get myself a good bucket of slime to cope
surely the machine wont eat me
