I completed the elfs quest and I liked to do it, especially when it was cute and challenging. Now I will read the words from the Bonus Pack to understand the thoughts of Sylvie!!
I beat it!! Excellent mechanics-deduction puzzle, just the right length to be challenging and fun and not boring once you've mostly solved that puzzle.
I saw the note about that, but the thing is that I am not in incognito mode! In incognito mode, I get a different error, "love.js:9 DOMException: The user denied permission to access the database."
I'm not sure if this is helpful at all, but it does seem to be a different kind of issue than the ones you knew about, so I figured I'd report it. no worries at all if you don't have the bandwidth to troubleshoot further, it looks like you've already spent a lot of time on similar things!
You can fix this by opening Terminal and running xattr -cr <path to Cinco Paus> You can get the path by just dragging the app icon onto terminal after typing the xattr -cr part.
As the (i think???) tempres world record holder, it is amazing to play a similar set-your-own tempo game! I have cleared it at around 225 BPM, but I wish i knew for sure! It would be so nice if the game told you the number it infers from your initial four taps.
It would also be nice if there wasn't a tiny little delay between the end of the taps and the first beat; if the first beat is randomly a 1 press, you essentially always miss if you stay on beat from the initial taps.
Why is this game so good. It has no right to be this good. You think it's surprisingly good, and then it gets much better, and then it does that two more times!!
Also, that jellyfish legitimately scared me the first time.

thank you kindly for playing Game. i see that you were unable to have any fun while playing Game, which accords with the decree. please remember to keep hating Game when you return home and find your ehyre.
Here is a playthrough by ram, who does not have an itch account. she asked that i upload it for her. it contains a word that might be mildly unsuitable for some children.
I played this game and got a 100% completion in one sitting in four and a half hours. You can watch it here (no talking or anything). It immediately became one of my favorite platformers of all time. It has a wide variety of Sylvie's trademark creatively bizarre movement options, which combine in many extremely pleasing and surprising ways, AND it has a lovely story that's more fully developed than in any prior Sylvie game. Please purchase and play Sylvie Lime.
Hi! I'd really like to try this, but on MacOS Catalina (10.15.7) the jar fails to run with a SIGILL. The same happens for Kingdom Cards. Do you by any chance know of a workaround? I tried both double clicking the jar and running it with java -jar at the command line, with the same results.

Played this with some friends and we had a great time! Many delightfully strange locations and beings, and just the right length.
I do think that this came ought to come with a content warning for a particular kind of sexual content that some may find distressing. There's nothing wrong with it, but you should know going in that this might not be a game you want to play with your parents or whatever.
I found most of the endings very satisfying, especially Beaker and Zoom-Zoom, but a couple went off in kinda underserved directions imo. Anyway, great game, thanks!
i don't have time right now to find something useful to say about the words themselves, but i wanted to say this is one of the best topics to think about and i'm glad you posted a thing thinking about it
amazing how repetition is both total+universal (everything just the same fundamental particles repeated over and over) and completely impossible/absent (objects not even self-similar across time)
This game is extremely good and everyone should play it.
Additionally, having rewinding in games like this should be a default expectation. It's been nearly 15 years since Braid, and somehow Sylvie is the only one to realize this obvious truth!? Get it together, videogames.
Everything you've identified here is very much an intentional feature. Jump height is explicitly randomized, being killed instantly upon level start is a hilarious joke (and doesn't really impede you in any way; dying 10 times is essentially identical to standing still for 5 seconds), and fish speeds are also explicitly randomized, presumably for the exact purpose of making it harder to learn how to avoid them.
I don't have time to play multiple times and really understand what's going on, but not understanding has its charms too. An evocative experience that brought back some memories, thank you.
I believe what I was trying is equivalent to that (extracted to Downloads, double clicked, gatekeeper settings such that it doesn't block it). But I tried specifically moving it to Applications and running it with right click -> open just in case, and got the same result.
However!! I then remembered to try finding the executable inside the app bundle and running that directly from Terminal, and it works! hooray!
For others who may read this: right click the app, choose Show Package Contents, browse to Contents/MacOS/, drag the 'cantrip' file to a terminal window so its path appears at the prompt, and hit enter.
Also, you may be interested to know that the reason I'm posting about this a year later is that you have acquired a bunch of fans in the #other-other-games channel of the Brough Games discord!
