Awesome, it works now.

I was unable to launch the Linux version. I think the binary file is 0 bytes for some reason. (Fixed in the latest patch.)

I played the Windows version. First I played the tutorial. But then when I tried to start the rest of the game, my player was unable to move. I went back to the tutorial and was then unable to move there either. So I quit the game, then ran it again, and this time it worked.

I played through the first level. I found it confusing without a UI to show the weapon options, and it never was clear to me if the placeable wood blocks were infinite. I understand that a lot of the game structure is placeholder right now, but right now you can just stock up on as much materials as you want without leaving the safety of the first area. I feel like there either needs to be some danger that eventually makes you go to the next area, or maybe there are better materials in later areas.

I do like that you can shoot shield skeletons to stop them, then fireball to defeat them. I want to see more interesting interactions like that. It seems like all other enemies that I found so far can just be attacked with anything without thinking other than avoiding their attacks.

I played through the second level too. But there was a 2x2 unbreakable stone hole at the bottom that fell past the ending area. I thought it was a bottomless pit because of how long I fell, but eventually I hit a bottom. But I was trapped there, so my run ended there.

Thanks, I'll check out the Windows version some time, but I'd like to note that in the archive for the Linux version, the file "CrawlToTheDepthsV0.11.2" is empty (0 bytes). I assume that's why I can't get it to launch.

Wooah, I can't believe it took me so long to get around to this one. The idea is fun enough, but the execution was very impressive. I was grinning a lot.

On Windows, at first the loading bar kept getting stuck at 50%. Now it gets past the loading bar somehow, but still says loading, the stage is mostly white, and I cannot move. The console prints "ERROR: Condition "!is_inside_tree()" is true. Returning: Transform3D()".

No engine, just Monogame.

Mmm, good writing, good banter. And what a champ, that Rinnosuke counterpart.

This is precious.

CrossCode Lea would be proud.

Very pleasant. I had one issue - I had no way to place (or discard) all the lumberyards I kept drawing, due to lack of trees. If only I could hire them to chop up and recycle piers. :P

I'm glad you felt a sense of discovery. I was hoping that many parts would make "sparks" in the player's experience, like "oh, what's this?"

The juggling was not intended but that's pretty funny.

You are hell's strongest soldier o7

I enjoy wandering around the world with my accomplices in tow.

After defeating Aunn, she got stuck against Sunny, pushing Sunny down the map until everyone was stuck against a tree.

Thank you, Luna, for trying to be the voice of reason. And Star for utter disrespect of the fourth wall.

Very cool. Nice dithering and general aesthetic. I appreciate possession changing the player mechanics.

スクリーンセーバーはレトロですね

The game kept crashing immediately after launch. As it turned out, it didn't like me placing it in a folder named "EoSD isn't retro right Retro are games like Br◯ck Br◯◯k, R◯ckm◯n, Do◯◯ and Af◯◯rb◯◯ner".

Anyway, I was very confused and there wasn't nearly enough aliasing (is it even retro if the pixels aren't sawing at your eyes?) but I laughed and am laughing again now. Hehe. I like how catastrophically the b◯lls can multiply in the first game.

I would have liked some indication that everything being black was intended and not a game-breaking glitch as it felt like at first. That said, this is brilliantly authentically retro in like every dimension. And props for getting all that voicing in a jam game.

I have my comically big spoon now let me eat this absolute meal of a wall.

Task accepted. I will review the game.

Touhou: Ruukoto the Robot tells the story of a robot learning to perceive emotion and meaning within the world. The game is enhanced by the graphical representation progressively shifting from a data efficient representation to a view with more detail and color, evocative of human poetry. The game has light interactive elements with no failure condition. These elements allow the player to more comprehensively experience Ruukoto's journey and revelations. This concludes the summarization portion of the review.

I played Touhou: Ruukoto the Robot to completion. I experienced several uncategorized stimuli, and am making preliminary comparisons to the human emotional experiences in my database. I have noted a "desire" to repeat the stimuli experience from the music in Touhou: Ruukoto the Robot. I have identified a relevant bias within my rating procedures. As an objective being, I must report this error to my creator.

Function completed.

The graphics are cute, the patterns are good, and the dialog was quite good. There was a lot to enjoy in a small amount of time.

Excellent presentation of a pissy Yuuka. My bones are cowering.

It feels very cold and warm. Very textured and vague. Merry's rational analysis of her irrational experiences was brilliant. Don't mind me, I'm just basking in the god rays, as something inside me is being absorbed.

Thank you!

Yeahhh the swapping wasn't ideal.

What strange things might be in suspicious places hmm.

Thanks!

That's how I thought it should work but either it didn't or (more likely) I was suffering from jam-induced insanity. :P

Yeah, they unintentionally ended up being frustrating. Part of the issue that that items prefer swapping over throwing. And the other part is that I couldn't find a way to allow the items to collide with other things but not with each other when using Godot colliders. (I just ended up not using colliders for some of the collision detection, but ran out of time.)

Thanks!

I'm now remembering that one of the solutions allows you to completely skip my favorite part, the fruit. Oops.

I'm so happy you realized the inspiration.

I'm a bit worried that the puzzle aspect might be a bit opaque, even though there are multiple solutions, but it seems you didn't have issue.

Good puzzles with a surreal mechanic and music to suit it. The last one had me scratching my head for a while.

I have my Windows taskbar always visible, which means I only have 1040 pixels vertically on a 1080p setting. That caused parts of the game window to be cut off.

I could say many positive things but I'll just say I love the tatami texture. I want to lay on it and roll.

Impeccably balanced. The mechanics just feel great.

The controls on this feel so great, and the snow particles and sound effects empower that feeling. This was fun!

Hilarious and wonderful animations and use of audio. I didn't personally care for the intensity of mashing four keys at once as even on easy mode I felt like I was gonna break my keyboard.

Now excuse me while I kick this sign back into the pond.

Funny! It's very simple and that's all it needs to be. The different enemy behaviors work well.

SkiFree let's go! Neat controls, though it was frustrating waiting for the right ramp/obstacle rng just so I could actually attack something.

Lovely little variety of mechanics in a casual and cute game. Patchy best gamer friend.

Smooth playing and adorable sprites! Nice work with Phaser.

Solid feel to this one, and the music is hype. Nice touch with the random level layouts.
