This was something that I cannot describe.
Really artistic, weird and interesting!
The ending surprised me and somehow made me a little sad, which I didn't expect.
wow, i didn't expect that ending either. thanks for letting me know your experience. hopefully it didn't bring you down too much :)
edit: im not currently on a windows comp so unable to play your game, but i should have access to one later this week! excited to check out your work :)
More precisely, it was how I didn't really know what was going on, until the last line and than it just snapped.
"Ah, so that's what this thing is!" And that hit me like, man this is kind of sad. In an artistic way or something.
hey, that's awesome feedback! thank you.
I am astonished! Extremely well made, and has outstanding writing. Please do me a favor and win this jam.
aww you're too sweet, thank you so much for your kind words!
The hidden words and the music really make it for me. Good job.
awesome! thank you for your feedback!!
edit: i don't have a windows computer so i'll have to try and play on a different comp later this week! from the looks of it, your game looks amazing and i can't wait to play it!
Wow! That was really beautiful!
Your writing is strong and poetic - well done!
Stay funky,
Dez
aww thank you!
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!
thank you so much!
edit: im having trouble figuring out how to get your game to run on on my comp (mac) but as soon as i do i'm excited to play your game!
I haven't built a mac version, I can in like 20 secs! I will update the page. I don't have a mac though, so I can't test it out beforehand.
that would be so awesome!!!! i'll let you know how it goes!
This gave me the chills... What an amazing experience! Thank you for making this!
If it is not too much to ask, what did you use to make this? Unity?
wow thank you so much for your kind words!! my heart <3
i used Twine! super easy to use opensource text editor :)
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.
thanks for your feedback! i'll keep that in mind.
do you have any mostly text-based games (i have a limited skillset, yo) that does this pixel art sprinkle you speak of? :) would love to check it out and learn from others!
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".
wow! okay! thank you so much!
Wow that was a breathtaking experience!
Amazing artsy game, I have never playerd anything like that.
I enjoyed my dancebreak alot btw.
awww thanks for playing <3 and dancing! haha
