got stuck a bit on day two when I couldn't figure out how to "do your work". I was using the keyboard but based on the tutorial kinda forgot my mouse was an option until I saw your screenshot for day 5 where the mouse is visible. then it all clicked. ready to give it another go!
also, kind of a weird unrelated request: does anyone own the game on steam? i like to put my itch-purchased stuff on steam (via "add non-steam game") and i like it to have the same icons and stuff as it would have if i bought it through steam, but i cant find the icons and title and stuff used by steam for it because i dont have it on steam... if anyone could help me out thatd be a huge help
aw thanks so much for the kind words friend! it was such a pleasant surprise to see someone say such nice things about this lil game i made almost 3 years ago now :) hit me up on twitter (you'll be able to find the link on my profile) and i'll see if i can organise this for you!
thank you, but unfortunately i dont have twitter ;^^ if you have discord id be happy to contact you from there. also, youre welcome! its well deserved. honestly this game hits way different when out of lockdown, but it still definitely hits.
i love this game. feels like such a perfect encapsulation of just... everything. it's clear that being in lockdown must have inspired a lot of this game, but somehow it holds up even better now that lockdown is over - it's symptomatic of a new normal, but one that's more cynical and socially hesitant than the one we had before. some commenters have critiqued the game saying that it's repetitive, but i think that's precisely the point.
Man, this was wack. I may play it again a few times to try to analyse what happened. It seems like pink dude has pretty serious depression--or schizophrenia. Judging by the lack of conversation in the last "chat with your friends" part, either the friend ended themself or pink dude has been distancing himself. Pink dude has a number of strange visions, possibly hallucinations, leading it down the schizo path. However, this could also be looked at in a drastically different way: an apocalypse has come upon the world, and pink dude is trying to ignore everything happening. The friend was taken by the apocalypse, and by the end, pink dude was taken too. Overall, this game was beautiful, from the art style to the googly eyes to the wack story. Beautiful job, creator.

This made me cry so much ;~; I've never empathized with a pink cube this much before

amazing game. the art is really pretty, and the story is honestly one of the best videogame stories ive experienced ever.

My only complaint with this game is that you cannot water the plant while also standing on top of the plant.
