Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you enjoyed my game. I'm sorry if it triggered your anxiety, that wasn't my intention. For the bonus doc, you can try exiting and re-clicking on "Download or claim" and see if the file shows up. Or you can go to my new website at https://macsimilian.github.io/games/TheBurningLocks/TheBurningLocks.html where they are downloadable for free :)

It's an executable .jar (java) program. You should be able to open and run the Giant_Stomp.jar

I did, your game is really strange and well done!

Thank you! Was cool to see your stream of it :)

Would be nice to be able to set a time when the gift is sent

That worked, thank you!!

When I right click on a cover there is "save link as" but no "save image as" option

I can download a game's screenshot by dragging to desktop, but this doesn't work for the cover image / gif? Any way to get my games' cover images if I didn't save them before? Thanks!

I don't like swamps, but other than that I love the game! Perfect!

I'm talking about the review accompanied by 5-star ratings, not the comment section. Sometimes I check my games reviews and find reviews that I hadn't seen before. Would be nice to get some kind of notification whenever there's a new review. Thanks!

1. The cheese factory is actually a euphemism for smoking (which is in turn a euphemism for something else), and its counterpart in the subconscious symbolizes the cause and effect of this lifestyle on the brothers' lives. You can find out more about the creation of the subconscious, factory, and other BS in the bonus document (free over the summer sale)

2. No, nothing happens if you beat it 500 times

Try exiting and re-clicking on "Download or claim" and see if the file shows up.

Click to play my game, The Burning Locks

I released my game this Monday to an overwhelming amount of positive feedback - the best feedback on any game I've made. So I made a promotional poster that features all that positive feedback:

(I am mainly making this post so that Itch doesn't garbage collect this image off of img.itch.zone if that makes any sense.) The game is an interactive story/Bitsy game about a neuron exploring a comatose mind and bringing it back to life. It takes about 15 minutes to play.

I've accumulated a few suggestions, small changes, and polish, and I will be updating the game to v.1.1 as probably the final update sometime soon.

Thanks to everyone who played and gave feedback! :)

I've always known about the first screen of Mario for a while but this goes way further and more detail about it!

Hi, I just released The Burning Locks, an interactive story/Bitsy game about a neuron exploring a comatose mind and bringing it back to life. This is my first Bitsy game and something that I have been working on for the past two months. It has original music and sound effects, and an original story.

Play it at https://maximilian.itch.io/the-burning-locks

Also, I made a map of the game world, which may be useful for finding all the collectables, but I recommend only looking at it after a first play-through:

You can set a background image to align right, left, or center, and whether to repeat vertically, horizontally, both, or not at all. But you can't set the background to align to the bottom of the page. This would be really useful for putting something at the bottom when you scroll all the way down. One of many uses would be to put a sideview silhouette of some grass at the bottom of the page.

i played through till the last two levels. why not just add the last two levels, then you'll have a finished game!

Hmm, very similar mechanics to my Inertia! I really like the music too.

I used this PICO8 HTML Template. Without knowing any javascript, you can choose from a number of buttonsets (even a joystick if you put special code in Pico-8) and you can change the colors of those buttons. If you're looking to build your own from scratch though, can't help you there, but it may be helpful to look over the code for that template.

Ok, so "bulk keys" are the way to go instead of "download keys". But if you make just 1 key it can only be distributed to one person, and you have to make a unique key for each person? Having just one link would be helpful. And it makes you have to have an itch account and claim the key to download the files...

Unless I mark the whole game as paid (causing it to display as paid), which it is not - it is a web game. The bonus downloadables are the only thing that cost money, but making a free download key doesn't include them

I've been working on this game for a few months, and just as I was putting the finishing touches on it, ProcJam happens! Perfect timing!

In this game, all the waves in it are randomly generated using a system I developed that are better explained in the bonus document ($5), but I will give a brief description here. Two functions: create_wave() and calculate_wave(x). create_wave() generated a table of IDs, with at least one row, and at the end of each row a special ID says whether there will be another row, and if so, what to do with that next row. calculate_wave() puts the table into action. It starts with x and then performs operations on it for the 1st row in the table - this might amount to something like (1/2*)sin(-x+2)-1. Then, at the end of the row there is an ID that says to just stop there, or multiply, add to, or divide by the next row. If it were multiply, then the next thing ended up with could be ((1/2*)sin(-x+2)-1)(-cos(x^2)). Wow, I think I may have explained it better here than in the bonus document.

Also, the title screen music is randomly generated! It used the melody from DDLC's Dreams of Love and Literature, except with random starting and ending notes. There are also random buzz noises and a drum base. I haven't ever really composed any music before this.

Thanks for checking out PlusWave!
