Judge feedback

  • As I sit following the experience that was Rock Pool Priest for Windows Desktop Computers, acquiescence flows over my person. I take a moment in contemplation to consider what the Above would have me say. Perhaps I've judged too harshly, the games long past. But now I am a changed man, a man wiser for having heard the stories of the sky and lived amongst the barnacles. Now I know what score I must give.

That ending hurt. Rock pool priest deserved better. </3

Developer

What. A. Wild. Ride.

Comedy. Tragedy. Inspiration.

Although I think it was a little unfair hiring Beck to do the music.

Developer

askjdh thank you!! hopefully Beck-like is a good thing

No my friend, it is not.

It was though, the highlight of my day. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

I mean that in the best way.

Developer

ohhhh, i’m still glad u laughed at it, tbh i rly enjoy making kinda bad music for my jam games it forces me to take it all less seriously

The laugh included in the trumpet sample was icing on an already delicious cake
