itch.io

This is such a lovely game! I adore games that do simplicity in presentation well, and this is certainly one of them.

Adorable! I'm a big fan of virtual pets, and this is such a cute take on them :)

What a wonderful little game! I love the game loop and the artwork, though I keep messing up because I'm playing in the browser and am seeing some slowdown. I haven't had the opportunity to try it via Linux yet, but I've been having a lot of fun playing it here!

Also, I know this won't apply to everyone, but thanks for specifying Batou likes milkshakes. As someone who's struggled with drinking in the past I don't always feel comfortable with depictions of alcohol sometimes. But here I feel I can rest easy knowing he's just going to get a huge sugar rush, lol.

Thank you! And yeah I did not check for duplicates, lol. I thought about it, but decided it wasn't absolutely necessary.

Well I realized today I never came back and linked to this, my apologies. I've used this tool
FrugalOS
In the settings app you can change the background to one of several space images. I've also linked back here under the "Credits" file.

I got married but then had an accident and died. My poor hot alien husband :(

Nice game :)

I can hope! I enjoyed reading your comments on all the pages btw. It was like following another saga along with the story of the game.

Very fun game and I will check out the tutorial! Something about the continuous shooting make whole thing very satisfying :)

This is an excellent idea for a game! After a while it does get a bit samey, but I had fun upgrading my stats beyond what was reasonable.

This game is WONDERFUL! I ended up sitting with it for several hours totally unexpectedly because it drew me in. The concept (of exploring a dead MMO and reading left behind messages) has been done before, but this one actually manages to make it its own.

I like the interactive comments element, and even left a few myself, but I didn't realize how eerie it would become reading through them and not knowing which are from real people and which are in game. Are Mathbrush and Jadetuin real? I want them to be real.

Highly recommended. I did not expect to enjoy exploring a text game so very much.

Very nice game :) I wasn't able to beat it but will probably come back in the future. I like how the game explores the story and adds more complex things to explore while still utilizing the very simple gameplay of classic snake.

This is a really interesting idea, and I enjoyed seeing the execution of it. Reading the description, I initially misunderstood and thought I'd be on the other end of the call, but I enjoyed reading everyone else's story once I realized my mistake.

Excellent game! I'll say that for me personally, I got pretty used to the controls after a bit, once I got into my "flow." Pressing up/down to change pieces was confusing at times, but easy enough to fix since I type quickly. I've purchased the full game, and I'm looking forward to playing all of the levels!

Lovely drawings! I kind of want to color them :)

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed them. I haven't done much guerilla gardening myself, but I am a fan of it, and I've seen it done to great effect in many places that have food desserts. I will have to look into it and see if I could develop some ideas around it. Thank you for the suggestion!

Thanks for reading! I absolutely agree that markdown should also count as plaintext, since it's not at all obfuscated and can still be opened in any editor. I probably should have mentioned the similarities, but markdown can also be its own kind of rabbit hole, and I didn't want to get sucked into it for this short piece :)

Glad you were able to find some ideas you liked! I was hoping everyone would be able to find something that would be helpful.

Thank you so much for reading them!

Oh I highly agree on the modability point! I've been working on some simple JS apps in my spare time, and adding support for exporting everything to txt/csv format is easy-peasy and always gives folks a way to recover and save their data. I wonder why more people don't do it!

Thank you so much! Glad you liked them :)

Glad you liked it! And thanks for making the engine :) It's a great tool and one of my favorites.

Agreed!

This is a pretty difficult game, but I like the concept! I couldn't get past the first screen myself, lol.

Thank you! I'm glad the gardening one seems helpful-I would never describe myself as having a green thumb, so I think if I can do it, anyone can :)

Lovely game! I really enjoyed my time with this, and I had fun seeing what I could max out.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I've fixed it in the files, though it seems that Itch.io may be caching some of them, so it may be a little while before the change shows up.

I like the stream-of-consciousness quality this has, and it's a really interesting way to implement a hypertext game/fiction/story/thing. A lot of it made me think. Thank you for sharing, and also for adding the link to the tool, because I always like discovering new ones!

This is a very creative combination of the bullet hell genre and puzzle games. I like this a lot!

Thank you; I'm so glad that came across, because the whole VC vibe really grates on me.

Awesome, and thank you for reading them! Gardening can bring so much joy and I hope it does to you as well!

This was excellent and I really enjoyed reading through it all! A lot of the resources you linked to were ones I was totally unfamiliar with, and I really appreciated coming across them. Thanks for adding the page with links for easy reference!

This made me very angry in a "this game did its job too well" kind of way.  And I don't think that cable is going to get here before my phone dies. >:(

Very cute game! I enjoyed talking to all of my wyvern friends on the way through.

Hello sir! This is a very good game! I am truly impressed by what you got this little engine to do!

This is cute! I like the theme and it was fun going around and sucking up garbage.

This is a lovely simple little tool, and I like it alot! I've used it to make backgrounds for a project that's not yet online, but I'll link back here when I make it public.

Using Bitsy as a journal is a really neat idea! You did a lovely job of sharing your memories, and I enjoyed witnessing them :)

Thank you! And yeah I totally agree about the signs. I did not realize they were such a pain until they'd already been placed, and unfortunately I cannot drag them. I will try to fix it when I have some time to sit down and do a lot of copying and pasting!

Very unique puzzle game! I enjoyed it :)
