Hello,

My name is Daniel Serrano Robles, and I'm a master's student from Mexico participating in an academic research project on video games and history. We've noticed the existence of some game jams focused on historical themes, and have selected some games to include in our study. We're interested in gathering the perspectives of some of their participants, and have created a survey to do so.

It would be extremely helpful to our research if the creators of this video game could complete the prepared survey. You can find the survey at the following Google Forms link:

We hope we can count on your support. Have a nice day!

Love your game! Simply fantastic execution of a very well thought out idea, the graphics are gorgeous, though I can't help but notice the lack of audio, which I think would really help elevate the game even further. That said though, this is a great idea and could definatley become a full release some day with some extra levels.

Great game, really like the concept you have built out here along with how you take advantage of the varying depths and the ability to rotate around the area to see the height differences. Keep up the great work!
