The music bops so hard, actually gasped when the farmer wanted me to turn it off. The menu mechanics were so much fun to figure out, def the highlight of the overall experience! The rocks have my heart, made sure to give Rocko many pats. >:)

Very trippy and unique!

I love the unique concept

The concept is very interesting and was fun to mess around with. The world was surreal and fun. I feel like I missed some things as I made it to the credits without collecting all the poem pieces. Overall, pretty cool.

Really great game with some of the most unique mechanics I have seen. Love the visuals and audio design too, and the surreal world. Good job!

I like the style and using the ui as a puzzle was very clever!

Developer

thank you so much! I had a lot of fun envisioning and implementing the style (and my friend)

I really like the idea of this and I think this game deserves more attention, however I am not smart enough to solve these puzzles, I got 3 poems and got stuck.

Developer

This soundtrack goes hard! The screaming carrots are genius, never knew I needed Electronic-Screamo in my life but I'm here for it. The notebook mechanics, the world-building, the talking rocks, the poems... So many ideas and creativity! We can really feel the fun you had making it, great experience.

Developer

omg ty so much! I had soooo much fun making it. my friend will love hearing that his music  was a big hit. I'm excited to add even more levels when I get more game dev energy in a week or two.
