It's the "Dinosaur Comics" of video games...! I did appreciate that there were subtle changes in the maps throughout the different meta-levels. Very interesting conceit and I like how you closed the loop at the end.

Developer

Haha, I haven’t seen those in a while :)

Thank you for playing!

Haha great social commentary on the state of gaming. It was fairly immersive too.

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it :)

Left me with a surprisingly large amount of interesting thoughts. Not so Thoughtbound after all! Nice work.

Developer

Thank you so much! I’m glad our effort on writing pays off :)

Dialogs/commentaries are quite profound... Good thing there are fun parts as well :)

Thank you so much! Credit for this goes to my friend, @ViruScD 😊

The repetition + increasingly meta commentary was pretty funny. I'm unsure if there's more to the final loop than I experienced given the map changes but I got a "you beat the game" dialog at the end!

Developer

Awesome, thanks for playing! I’m glad you liked it, we’ve had a couple of chuckles in the development process as well 😁

That gotcha, got me. The aesthetic of the game was very nice.

Developer

Thank you, glad you liked it :)

Loved the ending :)


Developer

Oh noes 🥲 When did that happen, after the “You won” message or earlier?..

I can't remember exactly what the dialogue was, but it was in the last room (the one where the loop starts over). Given the writing I almost thought this was the intended ending lol

Phew, ok. If the text was about troubles with superiours because of appearance than yeah, that’s pretty much the end. I guess (uiop:quit) is not as bug-free as I thought 😅

Anyway, thanks for playing 😊
