Can't wait to see it!

Hi - me and my girlfriend really love your game. It's a really unique concept and very clever. She thinks the strategy of it is great and described it as 'addictive' - and has been trying to maximise her score for hours now. Thanks for releasing this and hope you have success with it. I know she'd play it on iphone if you released it on there if that's helpful to know. Thanks!

Thanks very much! Definitely what I was going for.

Thanks that's so nice!

I like the dichotomy of good / bad outcome and the simple rules, but with some complexity for proficient skills. I feel like if you combined it with some simple dungeon generation you could have hours of fun playing this.

I am lazy and I like maps! I rejoiced at this!

It's cool to have a quick and simple way to make maps instead of starting with a blank page.

Bumped!!

I'd be interested to know too. But in the instructions it says the rules have to be understandable when put into notepad.

An incredibly well crafted game. It takes some real skill to make something so polished and brilliantly self-contained. Really like it.

Thanks very much for trying! Much appreciated. I have no idea why that might have happened. I'll try to chase it down by trying different things.

Thank you! So kind of you to play it and to leave a comment. Yes I've just now added an update to allow saving and quitting. But I didn't think to add returning to the last sentence. Is that something people want to do? I'll have to see about adding it.

Thanks again and glad you liked it!

Thanks so much for playing! Yes I agree more choices would have been better. Another victim of the time limit! I'm planning to do an update.

I'm not sure why the content warnings would be wonky. I'll have a look into it. If you get time to let me know what platform it ran on or any other details that would be super helpful thanks :)

Thanks again!

Thanks very much! Yes I might focus on audio now that I don't have the jam deadline to worry about. Thanks for the feedback. Really nice to hear.
