I liked how you interpreted the theme on this one. I can see many of my friends doing something like this if the world were ending. Very sick work
I loved the visual design of the characters in this one, the collage style is aesthetic while really feeding into the unease of the end of the world. Very well written dialogue, the characters feel real, they feel like friends. And the poetry itself is creatively wonderful, devastatingly reflective of the characters that wrote them and the world they reside in. All together a very compelling game to have played
Parroting what others have already said, but it cannot be emphasized enough how highly the pacing and spacing of the dialogue elevate Iambic Saltshaker. It is a pure joy to read through, and that also synergizes so nicely, thematically, with the premise of the piece. It's really beautiful!
I love me a good poetry read and this was no exception. Those collaged sprites were so cool and the moving background visual made my subway surfer brain happy >3<
