A wonderful game! It's so truly artistic and unique and I loved seeing lots of sprites I recognized from Blue Fencer Resurrection here too. The use of music and the writing is really wonderful and particular, it was interesting to ponder. I also liked the patterns and mechanics reasonably enough. My favorite guy in this is Mr. Torabors... he's just so cool!!!

My favorite part of the game was how emotionally affecting it managed to be! The first time I played I didn't really understand the mechanics so when I saw one of the babies get snatched away I wasn't sure how bad it was... it was only later that I realized that the permanent number of ducklings was dwindling from level to level. I wasn't good enough at the platforming the first time and so during the storm the sun just set lower and lower until everything faded into the night, and I ended the game with just one duckling... Learning how to make it work the next time was fun, and I realized level 2 was easier because I could actually bop the hawks. Then the last level appeared and I was totally unprepared lol, it was so fun and unique, there's a lot of cool visual ideas happening. I thought the platforming and control was really neat once I got more used to it, level 3 was legitimately insanely hard but when I learned how to control my position and momentum properly it was super enjoyable to do with jumps with the ducks. I also love how the ducklings sort of float down and you can use this to get this safely to places, but it also interacts with the timer in a way where if you aren't hustling and aren't super good at the movement then you can waste a lot of time or accidentally lead them into danger, it was really fun! The shadows of one's darkness leap in unique and troublesome paths, the way I found eventually for conquering them was quite ominous. Oh, and I loved the audio and visual effects in the last level especially, the storytelling was really wonderful! Thanks for how checkpointing works there also lol it woulda been so tough otherwise... Thank you for making this game!

I listened to the Melee DK Rap while playing and i liked the ending

a bit like words themselves if you think about it

SEE YOU NEXT MISSIONNNNN yeah i really like in particular thinking about how like ppl like to phrase it as theft but honestly it's the same sort of theft by companies that they do All The Time when they see something that was a good idea or w/e in the populace and just copy it with more money behind it. We must keep on digging and do what we cannn

My playtime increases... muahaha...

jazz game era when

I feel this one so much! You can work on something forever if you have no faith in it.

i think it's also funny too how like sometimes i'll read a comment by a creator on their own work and then they'll revisit it years later and be like "i honestly forgot i did all that. also i don't know what i was so mad about before when i talked about it last time it was pretty cool" LOL, one thing i really liked about coming to understand death of the author as a young adult was when i realized that once the works out there it's just kinda... out here. and anyone can interpret it. not even i know everything about it just because i know what i intended and remember what stuff was meant for. that can all too easily blind me... which is part of the fun of art after all. not even i know what the heck my attempts shall create. guess we'll find out...

thanks for reading! and yeah the gambling line appeared b/c i was thinking smth like "the most efficient way to make money" but really it's more like the most efficient way to extract money from a base with "spare income" if you think about it... much to consider

thank you for reading! ive been thinking about it because it was the element of "art and fear" that i most liked back in the day, where it basically mentioned how it's hard to feel satisfied when you know about all the potential that was there until you had to actually make it lol. but that's the whole point... it's gotta get here somehow... or its just a myth...

i remember i would see a post like "the only thing worse than making art is not making art" on tumblr a few years back and it really annoyed me. like there are unfun parts of making art just like there's unfun parts of everything... but much of making art is fun. in the last few years after having a bad brush with gacha and watching commercial works i used to like slowly become more and more market-brained nonsense i've come to feel more strongly than ever that those company pressures will continue to compromise ideas more than they help them... it was free stuff posted online motivated entirely by interest in the works themselves that made me feel the world of art was accessible was a kid

I just LOVE my job!

These are so cool... I love taking some time this pride month to read about the mysterious and fascinatingly exotic beings examined in this art piece... the shapes are alluring and unusual... An incredible job!

I'm taking your letters and reading them... sorry... they're good though. Tilde

you're welcome. by purifying all that is within i have created maximum narf...

thanks katey :)

See you then!

that one was cropped from me pondering the way b.o.x. dances about as it moves and thinking, why does it do that... i wonder... perhaps it's just having fun

sadly no, but it IS one tile tall in battle narf. makes you think

but then you add kuzma's mother to the mix and it becomes apparent just how fucking crazy the 4 way battle at sacrifice is really gonna be in the wrecked ship damnn

and then we blow it up

the next mission of all time

we keep on doing our best...

:)

thank you for wandering the narfmind... the narftroidvania

Sometimes I feel like life is about trying to increase one's selfmaxxing powers each work... who knows what I'll achieve next!!!

Really great detail. I was reminded of fun birds like the hoatzin again recently.

Once, there were reptiles that became a different sort of thing, and they were mammals, and birds, and actually also just the reptiles too because everyone is all a different thing all the time. And we all kept on eating. And we all kept on living. And I really ened to go to sleep actually. This one's good!

I suppose that is what they mean about the little butterfly. You cannot really predict from anything what's actually going to happen, because sometimes small things mean nothing, and sometimes small things mean everything, and who can really say? I remember saying I thought someone was my friend and they denied it, and it was so strange to me, because I never remembered thinking about them as a friend, only that as a child I got confused because at the time I thought they were. How strange...
Also: hi

i love starting in the bottom right and finding the obvious secrets everyone could find.

huge fan of black void

We shall slash through this world and uncover... I don't fucking know man. You know what I mean. Did he die in the last episode or not? I don't think he did, but if he did, would he be fine with that? I think he'd have been fine with that, if he felt it accomplished something. I dunno. Everybody dies some day. We just have to come up with some way to feel about it. I wonder if the time we're living in is the one that needs to solve everything? Probably that's how everyone felt. Maybe they really did solve everything already. I just hope they aren't mad enough to come back Red or something.

this reminds me that i need to go change my student loan plan

the poster's triad lurks deep within the soul. that's really nice. also how are my words rainbow thi sis so scary

Excellent renditions... when I got to DMX for the first time I was like, ohhhhhh no. Just an incredible job!

Thank you so much for playing it!!!!! I am always seeking to look at the razor's edge between nonsense and reality... perhaps in some ways that's what the game is all about...

Thank you so much for playing my game! I'll take the concerns to heart and think on them... I find it tricky sometimes to figure out attacks that are truly fair and often lean on the side of making ones that are interesting for me even when I've played it a lot, which can make things kind of troublesome. But I will keep on doing my best to make bosses fun!

When I realized I could move, I was stunned. It is beautiful.

Truly incredible degree of quirkiness within this... I understand wholeheartedly. I too wish I could draw forth the power needed to make everyone understand... they don't get it... they never do... That is why the forces of darkness will never stop encroaching upon this world. In the name of justice. Ahem. I really liked the super cute individual features like the tilted rook on the last page. Some truly beautiful lines. I want the Italian tomato now
