Well! I admit to being thoroughly baffled by this one, until I glanced at the walkthrough. Unusual and well-made.
Thanks for playing and for your comments! I'm working on finding a slightly kinder 'baffling/understandable' balance for the post-comp release 🙂
My first experience with an adventuron game. Very cool! It was a bit frantic trying to interact with items before they floated away. All in all, it was well implemented.
Thanks for playing and for your feedback - glad you enjoyed!
Wonderful presentation. I have mixed feelings about the way stuff keeps drifting out of reach - it creates a lot of busywork for the player which can be annoying, but it also helps pad out the playing time and create a larger sense of scale than would otherwise be the case.
Thanks for playing and for your feedback! The effect of the moving items is meant to come across as a bit chaotic and disorientating, but maybe there's a bit too much of that going on every turn and I should have them drift more slowly. Lots to experiment with! Thanks again!
Well made for under four hours! It wouldn’t run in Chrome for me at all, but worked fine in other browsers.
Very odd as I use Chrome myself and it runs fine for me. Will investigate further - thanks for the report and for playing!
It might be a settings issue! Itch seems not to like disallowing certain types of cookie… Worked fine most places, though. :)
Nifty game. We played it without the walkthrough and drown once and survived the second play through. I enjoyed how we sank deeper and deeper into the river of blood as it went along. Diverting and not too long.
Thanks for playing - glad you enjoyed!
Pretty neat game! I found it a bit hard to figure things out without the walkthrough, but the atmosphere was delightful.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
