Damn this really is stellar

That last fight drove me nuts the first couple tries and then as soon as I figured it out it became instead consistently challenging, which is really a sweet spot. Really nailed it, imo.

Thanks for the reply! I thought that might be the case, glad you have tentative plans to re-release it

If you don't mind me asking, why'd you take this one down?

oh that is very clever

Wow 22 really is hard af

Tickles me every single time

The trick is to completely ignore one of the two dustballs. Just never touch it even once.

Stalled out for a while on 16 but figured it out somehow and gosh dang what a hell of a ride. I said this on Mole Mole, but just absolutely perfectly paced, stellar puzzle progression

How are they all bangers

yeah, figuring out how to get that first kill was a non-trivial portion of the whole puzzle for me

I've recently played another Pico-8 game where spikes are only dangerous to fall on, so I came primed for that one

lol. lmao. (complimentary)

also really takes so much of what is interesting about the gameplay of Prince of Persia and makes it, quite honestly, less frustrating for me

I have really fallen in love with Pico-8 games and brilliant, perfectly-paced little puzzlers like this are a big reason why

I was just playing through Super Hexagon again (what a wonderful game, it's wild that a game with no character or story can make me tear up a bit at the end) so what a lovely thing it is to run across this in my email backlog.

I've only played Naya's Quest and Don't Look Back, which clearly means I need to get this and play the rest.

You've been making awesome games for so long, it's really just. It's a lot, in a very cool way.

Lovely, and if that isn't a mood I don't know what is

P.S.: I love the font on this page

Downwell 2: Upwell

I extremely suck but dang is it compelling

Lovely

This is an incredibly goofy game, I love it. Had zero clue what I was getting into.

Dead-ended on a level for weeks and turns out I was, like, all of three from the end

oh this game is a lot smarter than I am

Grand news! Thank you

Is it intentional that the 7/15/24 version has sharper art than the 11/9/24 version?

Thanks for the reply! This is good info. It's not like it's been a problem to download whatever's the lastest, I'll do it whenever, just got real curious

It seems to not trigger a whole email each specific update, at least; itch looks like it batches updates in a particular time frame into one email (don't know the time frame or if there's a max number per email, looks like it might be three)

I get a lot of update emails for this (and some other games) but there's no explanatory post or change in version. If you don't mind me asking, what's up with that?

wow this is so chill

it's like the exact opposite of my game, reveling in taking time instead of being aggressively bored by the interminable length of it

I love it

Woo! Tighter text spacing also looks great, too

Stellar

And please, Nintendo.

Please.

The playtest doc looked pretty rad, glad to see the full game drop

Been following all the Hiria KS updates and never once put together that you *also* made this

I've not read too too many adventures, just in general, but this defs tops the list as one of my faves

Oh grand, and thanks!

This is very much my vibe, and I love reading a good solo game.

Quick Q:
Depth and Explored give different DCs for the navigation check to leave the void. Is this a conflict, or am I misreading something.

What an absolutely stellar idea

"Jeeyon Shim's <game> is really excellent" I mean how could it not be

On the one hand I love this

On the other hand I now have a small fluffy white dog and am no longer emotionally sturdy enough to imagine such creatures in peril

Grand! Looking forward to reading the GM section additions, too. I live for a good GM guidance section, which so many games lack, and this one was already pretty solid so I'm stoked to aew how it got better

No apology needed. And it sure looked like the space that would belong; it's the right shape for it.

Honestly I wondered if it was there and not seeing it was a me problem. Wouldn't be the first time this month an itch pdf displayed wrong but just for me personally

Page 5 details all the harm levels except Dying (it gets mentioned under Critical as the next step but not described). Is this an intentional choice?

I ask because clearly it can be inferred and is described later in the book, so it’s obviously not missing information

Gotta say, like it even more now, seeing the more serious themes (not that it seemed unserious before)

I have not, yet. I love lit crit in the abstract but I am in fact Very Bad at doing it myself

Going out on a limb to guess: military service in general

Which had not occurred to me and now I can't unsee it
