thank you for taking time out of your games manifesto to also dunk on shitty writer advice, it was very cathartic

Fantastic and good and correct

Masterful... extremely pleasing and satisfying play arc, amazing all-timer bosses, lovely writing and collage aesthetics. Decades of esoteric rom hack fixations sieved into a wonderful little masocore platformer. I think I like this even more than Reggae Operation, which I didn't think was possible given how much I love that game's gonzo finale. (708 deaths and about three hours on first playthrough!)

Cackled, thank you for the good manifesto

This was extremely cathartic, thank you

Cleared on Aggressive Mode! Loved this one, awesome work. Tight snappy pacing and play, just a satisfying lil action story to puzzle out. 

Really lovely little puzzler, awesome work! The onboarding was nice and gentle and I had a great time logic-ing my way through the trickier levels.

thank you pissing child

This was cute! I love the first bird's Cool Jacket

Got all the fruits and the blessing ☺️ I've figured out the tech and I can see the path to a full evil ending, I want to reach it sometime...

Hi aria <3 

;_;

aching and tender, thanks for this dawg

cackling, thank you for this

Peak, awesome job. Love to see a satisfying play arc squeezed out of this compact a vocabulary.

exquisite hyper-concentrated narfsthetics, thank you for this

CORNELIUS BEAM!!!!

This is adorable, good work xD

Magnificent art

gitro this was absolutely goddam magical. excellent work.

love to destroy elves

Really delightful! Found a handful of secrets, then tried my luck against the moon for 20-30 minutes. When I couldn't seem to win, I went back to the caves, found another secret, then quickly beat the moon. Lovely game shape, and the commentary's a good read too.

Awww I really enjoyed Kaeru. Enjoyed narrowing down the possibilities until I could figure out the way forward.

Oh my god what a great joke, excellent work dawg

What a gorgeous dream. Played through twice and I can see myself revisiting it again and again to explore more of the space. Thanks so so much for participating.

Good work, lots of little moment-to-moment joys. My favorite bits were when you played with rpgmaker language in ways I hadn't seen in the other entries. The climax was a good pay-off to all the up-front "normal rpg" stuff you were parodying

Goddam that is some gorgeous art though. Really really great mood and style. Got endings B and D! 

Oh I adored this one dawg. What a great little dungeon puzzle, felt so good to tie it all together.

Still adorable and perfect

Crushed it in eighty minutes, no guide except for the general tips at the top 😎 This one hit my game design brain real real good, it's just a very complete statement with a minimum of moving parts. Awesome work Aria.

absolutely magnificent, knocked it out of the park

Played on the hardest difficulty and was on the edge of my seat the whole tower. Won by the skin of my teeth. Pristinely balanced, gorgeous presentation. One of my favorite entries.

fantastic. the poem is lovely and personal as always, and the bits of rpg language add so much to the effect. 

Gyahaha this was adorable. Cackled at the writing, and the ending landed nicely for me.

Oh this was lovely. Great puzzle language, and the story sequences hit me really nicely.

That was a delight dawg. Felt very solid and well-constructed, from the itch page description I was expecting something way more first drafty. (The dragon was so scary but I still beat him first try!!)
