kind of a silly thing to say, but i’m blown away by how enamoured the game is with reality. all the photos and descriptions of london localities. historical figures shaping the characters’ own histories. the characters discussing their thoughts on so many films and books.

it feels like an extension of nica’s opening passage. with all the ugliness in the world, it feels important to recognise and celebrate the beauty. and i love it for that.

congrats!!

omg this has layers… like a circle

who are the progenitor pals? their name sounds cool, but should i be pals with them?

loved realising that the higurashi gang has joined another sylviegame

goodbye small world! goodbye bunnys!

ahh thanks for the report! it seems to be a godot 4 thing and i don’t know how to solve it. the windows version downloadable should be fine.

thank you for playing meow!

aaaa thanks so much for playing!! so few people have seen the ending haha, a winner is you!

i’m glad the emotions of the finale came through! also the way you solved the jump to the final checkpoint was so cool, it’s different from what i discovered but i like yours better!

hello, i’ve updated the previous screen to hopefully make it more clear what you can do. hope that helps!

the multitasking!!! 😍 learned a lot of geology names today

if you just played a version where i accidentally left in the debug thing to start at the ending, no you did not

love the layers of subversion!

chess battle advanced

the usual pay what you want prompt isn’t there!

i love the friction between the 3 layers of the unconventional key controls, the traversal mechanics, and the actual sound production.

it kept me in a mode where i felt like i was out of my depth and winging everything, but could master things if i made just a little more effort!

thank you for reading!! :D

Thank you for updating the game!! ♡

lovely balance of sound choices! it’s impossible to make a loop that sounds bad

thank you for playing!! glad you liked the short paragraphs, i was worried it might get annoying.

i mainly wrote that way because it was easier for me to read while playtesting! i have trouble focusing on longer blocks of text.

love the creaking sound for turning. my old bones are creaking in agreement

lovely flowers!! the milkweed porcelainflower is really pretty. mushrooms scare me too, but i like the idea of mushrooms, the platonic symbolism of growth from decay

But I find myself wasting entire days not doing much, and when I think of going out or exercising… My brain goes ‘but this is just going to make you lose even more hours of your day’

oof owie #relatable

SO GOOD!! awawawawa…

musi poki li pona a!

Thank you for making this game!! I can’t really understand Aria and Melody’s feelings, but I can empathise with their struggles of self-acceptance, and the vulnerability and sincerity shown in this game.

I especially appreciate the use of humour. The RPG fantasy worldbuilding, the comedic timing in animations. The game embraces its own silliness, instead of dangling it at arm’s length as a cheap joke. Instead of cheapening the sentiment, the humour disarms and sets up contrast for the heavy stuff. It reminds me of the thesis in Patricia Taxxon’s essay “Art, Furries, God”.

ouch. why must you aim straight to my heart bones like this.

i don’t understand the language but it’s saying something

incredibly lovely, thank you for making this!

Most of the sound effects in Shattered are the same as the original Pixel Dungeon by Watabou, but yes I’ve contributed some new sounds.

so plunderful

ty 4 making

Yay!! thank you!!

Nailing a long throw feels so good! Slightly disappointed that throwing a final hailmary package on low time doesn’t count if it lands after time out. Looking forward to release :)

the audio is so good!! loved figuring out how it worked. also my vision is tinted green now

what a banger! get the whole range of the human experience slapped into you, any% speedrun. the humour and absurdity really uplifts the feels

very jackie chan fight scene vibes (good)

i should’ve read the description first. didn’t realise my firefox was running the game at like 2x speed

lovely writing!! i think i’m missing a deer somewhere, but aren’t we all

i found all six legendary kittens! i hope sylvie feels better soon <3
