Cool and artsy. So far the only game to make me dance so it's pretty special in my book.

Very cool experience! If you continue working on it maybe you can had more effects that change with the poem (like ambient particle falling petals effects), or maybe some artistic scene transitions/ color changes. Great job submitting a game~ Please check out my browser game when you can.
I absolutely loved this! The moment I saw the thumbnail and name I knew it would be special and I had to check it out.
There were many little great gags in there like the philosophically logical explanation why flowers are liars or the error message containing even more poetry... the dance section. So great!
And then there are many moments where the words are arranged just right to create something awe inspiring.
Please do make more of this, it's really great and very different :)
It is the most original game I saw so far, completely different from the rest of the games I tried. Amazing and super inspiring.
No problem, it would be cool if you could try my game https://llamadev-games.itch.io/test-slime
Really atmospheric game. :o Never have played anything alike so that was a cool new experience. :D
I am astonished! Extremely well made, and has outstanding writing. Please do me a favor and win this jam.
Wow! That was really beautiful!
Your writing is strong and poetic - well done!
Stay funky,
Dez
This was really something! I loved the hidden words and the dancing :))) Really nice music, it fits the game very well. I love the idea of making a game using only text, this is executed perfectly!
It's pretty relaxing and Verdana is a nice font, but text games aren't for me. Some pixel art sprinkled in would have gone a long way.
Ahoy made a great video about the evolution of text based games. The video is called RetroAhoy: The Secret of Monkey Island. In the first few minutes he talks about text games with art, after that it gets to "animated text adventures".
if i had simply found it i dont think i would have liked it as much as i do right now
in the context of a gamejam with a theme and limited time
this game is so special :)
