Hi, this is addressed to the developer sublime squirrel (or as you go on YouTube "electrical outlet")

Your 2A03 music was recommended to me and I checked out some of your stuff. Decided to give this game a try. It's a bit hard and too precise for my taste, so I didn't get too far, but it was neat. I wish the game didn't have a filter on it though, in fullscreen it's very blurry. I'll keep following as you make new cool stuff, games or music

This was a cute time. It's always nice seeing Outer Wilds tributes appear on Itch.

I may be the first person to play this. Sadly, it is impossible to get the joke now. Oh well.

I believe I have fixed it. Clicking on the window should properly capture the mouse now.

I've been messing with it. It should work now though! Clicking on the window should capture the mouse, while escape will free it.

Very fun to grind through. Did it in one sitting to wake myself up today

Congratulations on 100 downloads!!!!

Missing deadlines is something I can relate to. I have like, three partially finished games that missed their deadlines and will hopefully come out over the next several months.

I went back and finished it properly.

I liked the bonus room! Games that let you see loose ends tied like that are always cool.

It was during the conversation with Milenna (may have spelled that wrong). I was in the house from Fragile Sun talking to her and after she said a couple of lines I was back at the title screen.

I beat this game, I think?

It seemed to boot me back to the title screen suddenly. 

Either way, it was interesting to see the GANA series come to a close.

This was pretty great!

I enjoyed the reveal of what's being drilled.

Thanks, I was able to get the other two endings!
I like how ending 3 ends. The quote put a bow on the experience, I feel. 

I never considered that your games take place in the same storyline before, but I can see how the pieces fit together. I may need to replay them with the perspective that they connect.

I was only able to get the 2nd ending, however. I tried finding ways of getting the other two but to no avail. I'll probably play it again later and see if I can figure it out!

It wasn't overdone, especially since the comedy disappears as the story goes on and gets more serious. 

No you should keep them! I think they help sell the humor of it. The "It's only 9:00 AM" bit was elevated by it.

The censor beeps caught me off guard, and they were funny pretty much every time they were used. Some of the music choices were also quite nice.

The apartment building scene gave me slight Hotel Dusk/Last Window vibes, which is always a good thing.

Do you mean the Title Screen? Either up/down input can be used or "Select" (which is mapped to shift on keyboards) to move over an option and then "Start" (Enter) or A (Z). If you mean the player inventory than it's just "Select" and then "B" (X).

It's designed around an NES controller layout. You can plug a controller into your computer and it should be able to read inputs from it. Otherwise, I recommend using "IJKL" for movement instead of the Arrow Keys as there's a weird bug that only happens with Arrow Keys.

This Demo is extremely buggy and hacked together, I'm hoping to get a much better version out in the future

I came back to this game and finished it. The issue I had before did not happen on the downloaded version, which is good.

This game is surprisingly good at getting into your head while playing. Sound is used sparingly, so when there is audio it feels sufficiently out of place. The writing and visuals aren't quite as effective, but they get the job done. The writing is peppered with grammatical issues and misspellings, but looking past that it still contributes to the off-kilter vibe of the game. The visuals being stock RPG Maker assets detracts from the atmosphere a little bit, but the most was made out of them and the pervasive darkness helps to carry the tone. The change in Allan's portrait to convey his insomnia was a nice touch.

The Argane Mansion itself feels like a string of anomalies. A room that swallows sound, a room that bellows sound, gusts of wind penetrate the walls and windows lead to nowhere. It is a building that does not feel like a single place in a world, it's as though it exists in isolation.  The weirdness of the structure is probably the best part of the experience for me, I've always been fond of strange buildings like this.

 Tension builds for the entire run time, and it never goes away. I began to feel a bit like Allan, running throughout the entire house hoping to find a way to progress. I have seen every ending to the game, yet it still feels like it holds more. Another room, another anomaly, answers to the many questions I had. 

Just looking at this Itch page reinforces that feeling. There are three images, and yet two of them are of rooms that do not appear in the game. One looks sort of like the garden. It also looks sort of like the upside-down cross pattern seen at the crypt entrance. I like to imagine the other unexplained image is what is inside the crypt itself.

I have maybe written too much, but Halfway is an experience that asks for discussion.

You certainly lived up to your design goal

Learning to use any game engine can be a real struggle. You're making good progress

Just finished this game, I'm not quite sure how to process the ending.

The body-swapping time travel felt unique for sure. The puzzles with it weren't mind blowing but all made sense. The biggest complaint I have with the game has to do with performance, I had framerate issues in a few places even on low graphical settings which I imagine had to do with the frequent use of reflections (I could be wrong on this though, at the very least it was rarely detrimental).

This is neat

Man what did I just read

At least I have this certificate

One must imagine Sssisssyphusss happy.

Many, many hairs removed.

I was expecting something of lower quality going in, but the gameplay here is pretty good for a 12-hour jam title. 

It lacks a grander goal or purpose, but flying around to random planets and hollowing them out was a nice time.

It was the web version I played. It stopped accepting input for some reason, I couldn't walk or open the menu. It happened in the kitchen area.

Although I couldn't get very far, I enjoyed what I played of this. The atmosphere was pretty effective overall.

I got stuck on the ticking puzzle and then the game crashed, which is unfortunate. After reading the walkthrough I can appreciate the larger picture of this work as a whole.

It's a shame that this has gone overlooked so far, this is a fun time!
I like the border around the screen, not many other submissions did that but it works well.

Got stuck on the 1997 question and then got a "ran out of memory" error. Tried starting a new game in the drop-down menu and got the same thing.

I like these kind of games, but sadly I couldn't get very far. It's not especially fishy but at the very least I think "ghoti" was a unique thing to draw on for this jam.

This was an interesting experience.

I thought the visuals were alright, and the music, along with the concept of punching fish, were pretty funny.  It takes way too long to kill things though and that isn't helped by the clunky movement. I didn't make it past the nautilus, not sure how many other enemy types there are.

The .pck is missing for this, so the .exe can't be played. There should be an option when exporting to bake the .pck into the exported .exe

I didn't consider how threatening he might be up until I actually placed him in the scene. That's when I realized I could make the player expect him to attack.
There were plans to include more characters and have their dialogue matter more (such as it being needed to solve puzzles). I stripped it down to give me less to do before the jam ended, so while the shrimp originally would have spoken about the importance of words they instead speak of them being aimless.

Thank you, originally it was going to be less linear with more complex platforming. Unfortunately, on top of me working slowly anyway, the time I had left made me strip it down more.

It's a little difficult to get running as Google and Microsoft both thought it might've been a virus

The mechanics are difficult to understand. I think I get it, I managed to buy level 1 upgrades in the training menu but none of the tiles I placed seemed to affect much. The enemies would slowly drain HP and I couldn't figure out how to fight them.

Some of the art was alright and mechanically it seemed to function well, I just had difficulty understanding it.

The player character's movement is very fluid, and the mechanics are fairly intuitive. 

The lasers are too spaced together and difficult to see when pointed off-screen.
