Aaaaaaa I haven't heard from a new Her Lullaby/Afterward player in ages. These stories are still really special to us, thanks so much for playing and for the kind words.
Adorable and excellent full-featured action rpg in a bite-sized package, can't think of a single thing I'd want to change about it. Y'all really knocked it out of the park with this one. Everyone read the manual too if you haven't, it's really cute and funny!
The writing's fantastic obviously, I also loved how you used map tiles to make little interstitial CGs, felt very ZZT. Really loved this lotus, thank you for making and sharing it.
Found 16/16 slimes! Love the poetry of the different slime descriptions intermingling with the dreams, and the gorgeous thoughtful maps. This was really really lovely nilson.
Cleared! This was really neat. I love the progression of the enemy types and the slow escalation in pattern complexity. By the end it was genuinely pretty thrilling hurling my axe around dense rooms and teleporting everywhere. Nice job!
Cleared on Superhard, 786590 points! Really satisfying, good stages and super-fun boss patterns, enjoyed building my medal loops. Thanks for making this, nice to get a quick two stage blast of good shmup action.
This was really cute and fun to puzzle out! I appreciate how there's a hard platforming path to the exit and also a methodical explore-y path that just requires knowledge. I had fun making a nice l'il map!
This was really dope! I was a little frustrated up front when I didn't understand stuff like the break meter or the mist, but as I explored more of the game it slowly answered all of my questions, and the answers were all cool and satisfying. I actually like locking some of the tutorial NPCs behind locked doors -- you get to talk to them before the last dungeon when all that knowledge really matters, and it avoids blasting you with too much tutorial text before you have any context for it. The guard and break stuff is a really cool and different way of thinking about rpg healing.
The last boss was a really hype stakes-raising moment after I felt like I'd more or less mastered the fighting. I know this is a demo, but just as an rpg mechanics/combat gauntlet this is already a really satisfying arc. I think you've got a really strong language here, and whatever story you wanna tell with it has the potential to turn out really cool and special.
This was really cute and sweet, loved the changes in perspective. It's easy for this kind of thing to feel overly saccharine, but the writing is careful and understated in just the right way to feel maximally cozy and nice.
The amount of RPG you consistently squeeze into 2-3 hour run-times is insane. There's character work, lore, lots of bosses including a scary optional fight, an epic final dungeon/climax... not to mention all the jokes and flavor text and smut. Inspiring and delightful as always.
Extremely cute funny nuanced movement, cackled when I did the wall jump in the second level. Got lucky with perfect sales on the last level, I feel good about my final score.
Extremely excellent chuuni action in a really novel, grounded setting -- loved the romance at the end. Maximilian Sunflower and Judge Sunflower from Make Like a Tree are still obviously the breakout OCs of Gardens of Vextro.
Cool classic freeware art game, one of my favorite vibes. Technically sound and clear communication (I love the rubble falling from the top of the screen on an effective hop), which lets you be artfully effectively ambiguous with the underlying story. I read it as about an illness as I nabbed the three endings, struggling to grow and consume -- the reading you go over in the bonus pack is really nice though, and complimented mine in a funny way.
