I'm speechless! This game is incredible! It's both original and familiar enough that you can understand it without any explanation. I'm not just talking about the mechanics, but the story too.
The difficulty level is just right: challenging enough to make you want to try again, but not so hard that it becomes repetitive and frustrating. The way the game gets easier because you already know what words are coming next is genius, both from a game design perspective and in terms of the story. You're always on the verge of leaving, but you're always dragged back to the source of your pain until you're finally familiar enough with the cycle to break it.

Good job <3

Wow! Congratulations on completing this challenge and breaking free from the contract, 50 games are a lot. I'm sure it helped you develop your skills and I can't wait to see the games you'll make next year with everything you've learned :)

Congratulations on finishing your first novel!

Not everyone can commit to a story and continue working on it until the end, so be proud of yourself! I'm so proud of you, girl
One thing I love doing when I've finished writing a novel is printing it out and FEEL it in my hands. Smell the pages and feel the texture of the paper with my fingers. Aahhh... What a wonderful feeling.  I remember leaving the photocopier feeling like I could achieve anything. So, if you can, I highly recommend doing it too!
I hope you're well, and that you continue to create wonderful worlds filled with enchanting characters <3

You're more than welcome! But, what does nsmg means? hehe, i'm sorry, i'm not a native English speaker 

Awesome game! I felt lost the whole time, not gonna lie. I got stuck on a segment similar to one in your other game, 'Fireworks', which I can't seem to find right now, but which was very good too.

Never stop  making games!

Well done! I really liked the art style, and the cleaning minigame perfectly captured the essence of the game. I couldn't get the good ending, but I think there might not be one. Is there a good ending for him, or is it just an illusion? Is giving up on him part of the experience?

Anyway, I hope you're doing well! This game really captures how it feels to be depressed, so I hope you're doing well now!

An incredible game! I would have liked it to have a happier ending :c
I imagine a friend or family member of the protagonist knocking on his door and opening it. A ray of light much more powerful than the glow of his mobile phone bathing the room. This new person invites the protagonist to go out, to walk through the night while they talk about what's bothering them, and perhaps the love his friend gave him won't solve it, but it will accompany him through the process. <3 Anyway, very good job

Amazing game! I loved it 100%. I just wish there was one last scene where the protagonist could enjoy the love he finally found <3 After that raw story, a calm ending would be the cherry on top. But either way, awesome job!

Awesome idea! I'm sure you had a lot of fun making it

This game is veeery cool. The dialogue system, the hockey minigame, the time theme, it was perfect. 

Hello Joseph, I hope you're well.

First of all, I know this might seem unrelated, but it was your birthday on Monday, so happy birthday! I hope you had an amazing day! I spent all that day thinking about you, as I do every day. But even more so on your birthday.

I completely agree with you. It still amazes me how similar yet different we are. It's only natural that we love and hate each other in equal measure. In fact, I have learnt from our relationship that people hate things that are too similar to them.

As I was saying, yes, I agree with you on everything. You also opened the biggest wound in me, even though I didn't show it to you. It's as if we hurt each other just by existing. The existence of the other person is an example of another version of ourselves.
Another version of ourselves that lives inside us, and one that we don't want to see or recognise. Yes, my teeth clench when I think of you, too. I even wave my fists in the air every time I see “Joseph” written somewhere (I realised how common that name is). Perhaps I reminded you of what you could have been. I also think we shouldn't have given each other so much confidence. But I'm also going to have to live with this pain all my life. And yet. My life will always be incomplete without you. My life will always be missing you too.

Joseph, you know I love you more than anything or anyone in the world. But I just can't allow you to comment on my identity or my people anymore. I'll never be able to make you see who you are, and that hurts more than being apart from you. That's why I've chosen to distance myself. It's not because I've got fed up. I'm sorry if I'm not being clear enough. But I could never get fed up with you. You're a fantastic person, Joe, you really are. You don't deserve all this suffering and it wasn't my intention to end in bad terms. But I don't have to allow those kinds of comments about my identity or my friends.

As I said, you'll always be a part of me. I'll always be part of you, too. I hope we both learn to recognise and love that part of ourselves.

And if you ever wake up one day and start to doubt how you feel about your identity... Girl, I'll still be here. I'll always be your friend, no matter what. Because I love you and always will.

Know that I'll always be thinking of you, especially when I'm listening to music. Everything reminds me of you, but music especially. Listen to 'Ribs' by Lorde and read the lyrics. I dedicate it to you every time I listen to it. I'd also have to mention 'I'd Have to Think About It' by Leith Ross, along with a hundred other songs, but those are the main ones.

Even if you hate me right now and think I'm the cause of all your problems, I'll always wish you well. I'm glad you're going to the gym and meditating, and I know you're going to create some amazing games! I really do. I hope that someday you'll be happy for me too. But We have to take different paths in order to grow. Our friendship has always been a gift to me, and I've learnt so much from you. Thank you. Take care, Joe <3

Cool game! I wished there was more content and different types of cards.
Also, can you please please please tell me what happens after the very very very loooong dot dot dot dot sequence?? pleeeease 😔I've been waiting for long and I think maybe my game froze. Or maybe it just ends with one dot on the screen?

This game is awesome and inspiring! I could relate to most of it, but I disagree with the ending. Truth is completely relative. As you said, our judgement is not true, but it's all we have. So truth is relative because all we have is our judgement. Maths may be true everywhere and in every language, but it doesn't tell you anything about reality or our world, only if applied... and then there comes our judgment. If only Descartes had known this before he died... Anyway, good game! The game you're working on right now seems awesome. I've played the demo and can see its potential <3

GRACIAASS MI AMIGITA, como vos misma me dijiste, estos juegos están para experimentar así que fui a algo bien distinto. Me alegra q el efecto de ruido no se vea como glitter jaldkflja

Hello! I honestly didn't expect you to comment. But of course you can! These games are for you, after all. Feel free to comment as much as you like, if you want to write something long, you can. My games are meant to be played by anyone and commented by anyone. <3 The next Glimpse Game it's very different from the others, but I think you may like it

Muchas gracias LiLu <333 juro que no todos mis juegos van a ser tan pesimistas en el futuro

BUENISIMOOOOOO
El juego es muy dificil de pasar pero el pixel art y los efectos están muy bien trabajados. Muy buen trabajo!!

WOOOOOW!! THESE ARE SO COOL.
Really liked it! Good job

Hey! good job man! I really liked it. It's simple but I'm sure you had a lot of fun making it

Yes.

He deserves to die, Joseph. YOU KNOW IT

My name on discord is 4joa4, send me a friend request!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I'M SO TOUCHED OMG

THANKS SO MUCH, I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOUR WORDS, I'M IN TEARS RIGHT NOW WTF!

I HAVE NEVER FELT SO GRATEFUL BEFORE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEW, YOU HAVE COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD THE GAME AND EVEN ADDED A BETTER ENDING THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED.

I'm really grateful that someone understands what I'm trying to express with these weird games. If you want we can talk on Discord or something, you seem like a very smart and intelligent person. Maybe the world is full of boring and grey people, but sometimes you find someone who understands you!

I will definitely continue with these Glance Games! I hope you like the next one :D

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really appreciate your comment :D I thought no one would understand it, so I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks for the recommendation about Douglas, I'll read his book! But I think I already have A LOT of ideas for Glance Games, since they come from my own problems with life... hehe

Now I understand why people were confused while playing. Sorry, I should have put up a tutorial or something. Thanks for the feedback!

I had a great time playing, you put a lot of effort into it! I would lower the inertia of the smaller ball a bit to make it more comfortable to play, but that's all.

It's really fun! I bit hard to control at first, but I liked it!

This game is so cool and unique! I must say it's a bit long, but you did a good job.

Thanks! I know it's confusing at first, but I didn't wanted to make a tutorial (I hate them hehe)
But thanks a lot for the feedback!

Yes! That was my intention, though I must admit I had a couple of issues with the way the enemies chased you... But that was the original idea! Thanks for being kind!

fun to play! I get a little dizzy while playing though hehe

You're on another level, man. This is an example of a great and unique use of the theme. Well done!

WHAT? This is SUPER original and probably the most original game of the jam!

Wow, it's really well polished!

I would say that the controls were a bit difficult at first, but it was very interesting to play.

Oh... We had the same idea! it's fun to play I have to say :)

Oh well... We kinda had a similar idea... Just joking, good job :D

WOW! Now that's a scaling game! Great job, I think you've put your knowledge and interest to good use in this game.

It's grate!
But I think something happened to the UI of the game, somethings in it seems off place. But you made a good job :)

Innovative! I had fun playing it, but I think the tutorial at the beginning is unnecessary.
idk why, but I find the graphics very cute although hehe

This is a very original concept! I liked it, but I find it quite difficult hehe
