I was excited for this one, as I remembered really enjoying your 2.4 hour jam entry. This one has some similar vibes with weird science and unexpected traveling.

The burger minigame at the start was great, and the way it was revisited multiple times was really clever. For a game where most boards were just a single row of characters, you had an impressive amount of variety included, even when repeating screens in alternate universes. The way the game kept surprising me with its changes and the ways I begin to loathe repeat visits to places like the forest are a clear sign that your repeating dimensions were very well executed.

I made a sandwich today and all I could think about was that burger construction engine. Sunday night is pizza night FYI. (I'm glad I don't have to be the one to experiment with zeepza.)

Also the glimpses of 2D in the ending after a game of 1D boards really made them pop in a good way. Oh, the BBS posts were a lot of fun too, I'm sorry that I missed one. Part of me wants to suggest using different background colors per-universe, but I bet I still would have accidentally ran past the one I missed.

My only real complaint is that Harambe humor never felt good to me even then, and feels very out of place with the rest of the game's tone.

This wasn't that stupid, but it WAS very Didn't See THAT Coming! I'm sad I had to kill the animals! But I am very interested in making Zeepza! Fun stuff!

Once in an aeon comes along a game so good, you'll forget to pee. I enjoyed every minute of this, except for a few minutes where I had to crack open the file to check something (a hint I missed due to a code error would've saved me). The concept alone makes this game something exciting and fun, but the attention to detail and fun story had me flat out chuckling. The best ZZT games are maybe ones you can play without much prior knowledge of how ZZT works, and this one hits that mark with style and charm. Nario might be one of the best mini-games I've seen and could be an entire game concept of its own. D APPROVED!
