Game freezes on bashing a unicorn to death (or did at least once).

The game is good, but my old-timey brain doens't want to adjust to your newfangled controls-- is there a way to get the thrust-based movement from the original asteroid in this?

Looks fun!  Some of the effects seem to not quite be working currently-- for example player prop 14's x12 effect when using two bumpers-- but overall it looks like it will be a neat game.  Good luck finishing it!

I made it to wave 126 but I stopped being able to level up or get relics at some point.  I was only like level 41 and 3/4

Game was fun, but man battery is broken XD

Also beware of accidentally knocking the snake off the screen, resulting in softlock.

It would be nice to have a way to break toast loops early so that turns don't lag so much in the end game.  Maybe toast could move randomly the first 50 passes or something each turn, just so there's a hard cut off eventually and toast with negative resistance passing to other toast with negative resistance doesn't take so long to finish.

The game froze when I entered the ellipsoidal office :(

Fun game

I kept my first wielder alive through the entire game-- eventually Constanza Medici was winning battles against 30 year olds while well into her 100s.  Perhaps I shall see if I can grant immortality in a longer run setting, but I am a little disappointed that despite going undefeated for a century I was auctioned off for a mere 450,000 florins.

Yes, the skill button was greyed out and did nothing when clicked on, like the other buttons.  However, replaying on the new version I do not have the same problem and have successfully completed the tutorial.  The game is pretty fun!

made it to floor 31

Additionally, when the tutorial wants me to respond with hunting eagle, clicking on it has no effect.

Looks very cool, but the UI needs some work.  I opened hunting eagle and lumbering tortoise as instructed, but blocked childhood spirit when doing so, so when I tried to move that spirit the game softlocked as there was no open space and no way to back out after clicking move.

Beat it.  It was fun, but only getting one special card made it feel a little short

Increase the delay between a boss being defeated and the next one showing up.  Or, perhaps, have an (early-game-unlockable) toggle for aggressive/normal/defensive that makes all ships show up immediately/after one turn/after two turns.

That reaper (rat) is pretty tough!  I've no idea how to beat it, certainly XD

There are several, but the general one is when you can no longer keep playing. This is because you are out of playable cards in hand and can't draw: there are no cards to draw, or you are out of gold, or your hand is full, and your hand is either empty or all the cards in it are unplayable (because there are no eligible tiles).

finally beat it!

Game was fine until wave 20 or so when I achieved a food income greater than I could spend.  The game cannot handle large numbers of units, but at those advanced waves you need to have huge numbers of units.

Seems you were right.  Beat the game after downloading; it was quite fun.

made it to 1000!

Seemed neat, but the game crashed when poisoning an enemy

Nice game!

Fun and calming, but crashed on wave 10

Would like a way to regain maximum health or approval once lost-- I get that I approved some DAC stuff but I also bought basically every street upgrade in the game and said no to Jack the Ripper and I still wound up with only 45/45 street health at the end.  I probably got close to 100 wasted health past the cap, but oh-well :/ Maybe every 10 past your cap gives you 1 point back?  Just an idea.

you don't need more bullets, you need a way to click the upgrade button faster XD

Yes, it was fun.

Beat it second try.  Very inscryption. Fun game.

Newer Windows systems pretend that anything Microsoft hasn't whitelisted as popular is a virus (it pops up a 'security warning' message that suggests a risk of viruses from using software the megacorporation isn't aware of, which I've seen many less-sophisticated computer users interpret as a virus detection).  I don't think there's anything you can do about it without specifically engaging with Microsoft or having the software become very popular, but it's true for most home-made games (e.g. the vast majority of games on itch) not by somebody with a well-established portfolio. If the game becomes popular the problem will fix itself.  It's just a way to try and shut down independent development so as to further hegemonize corporate power.

It's possible there's some other thing it triggered for that user; I'm not getting a 'rarely used' security warning after downloading, but I'm not getting any warning at all so I'm guessing that's it.

The soft reset on death doesn't seem to reset the enemy scaling, and the mushroom gang event on the intelligence path doesn't do anything after winning the combat

Sometimes powerups don't move the gates out of the level, maybe just into another part of the level?

Yeah, there's a code with the bunnies. It's harder to find than just beating the game, though, and it's not a super useful checkpoint because you still gotta go to the double jump bunny to use the code after respawning (Also I keep forgetting it and having to try a couple of variations when I respawn :'D). I think the game is small enough and has enough knowledge checkpoints to be fine without proper checkpoints, though (plus those would make me want a savefile and this game shouldn't have that).

Ok, I found the music note.  It did not make music :(  It did make the cat happy, but I think the expected progression may have been double jump-->flight instead of double jump-->triple jump-->flight like happened with me ^^;  because if you have triple jump the only place in the game the music note works it's actually harder to use than just triple jumping up to the ledge, and you're gonna need moon walking either way. Personally, though, I feel like triple jump is way more guessable than music note, but oh well.

Went a different way and got goodbyed again :( I think it was the same room a different way.  I think that means it's the ending.  I heard in the comments there's music!  I haven't found it yet! D:  I will keep exploring (being careful not to win) and hopefully not have to use the walkthrough but I saw you posted one so I will keep that in mind in case.

nvm, refreshing fixed it.

There's music? D:

At first, I was super annoyed (this is a common reaction I have to Sylvie's control schemes partway through playing). Then I thought about how the control scheme being so fundamentally different meant that although the game would probably be more frustrating than necessary for everyone it would be more more frustrating for me as someone who has a lot of experience with platforming games than someone who is new platformers or this kind of game (or games) in general, and I think it's kind of cool that the control scheme 

gives people a more level playing field so that, although everyone of course still has a different perspective on the game, the thing that we are having a different perspective on is much more similar.  This makes it more fun to share and talk about with my friends, who are not as good at platformers as I am, at least for me, because it makes it easier to understand their experience (for contrast, I really enjoyed the boss fight in The Witness, but I made it to the second phase on my first time playing it, which made the shift in the music dramatize perfectly with the gameplay at that point, but when I got friends to play it, only 1 ever made it that far and it took him like hours to get to phase 2 even once and at that point he was like 'yeah I give up' because retrying that many times when progress on the next part seems literally impossible isn't fun, whereas getting stuck until I realized my assumptions were again the problem was fun for me, because retrying took however long the first half of In the Halls of the Mountain King is.  So we couldn't really talk about it in the same way).  Lastly, I feel like Sylvie games are bringing together a pretty eclectic community-- a lot of the comments I read from people who are fans seem to be from people who love story games and don't really like platformers that much.  So I think it's a particularly useful thing for this audience.  

Anyways, the controls are usually initially normal, quickly become frustrating with the first few power-ups, and then you just gotta practice and get used to them (or don't and find a secret way around the platforming).  In not only this game, but also Sylvie Lime and Funeral Song for the Elemental Lords, although the latter in retrospect wasn't nearly as frustrating as most of them (it was mostly just the swordfighting controls)

I'm guessing something with the bunnies but I haven't figured it out yet.

So, I had barely started playing and I had just got stuck and then after a bit the game said goodbye? It was right after the part where you flappy bird down and around an obstacle-- I was trying to figure out how to initiate a moonwalk in midair to continue rightward and I hadn't figured it out yet and either I hopped up to the next screen upwards or I pushed a bad button to push without knowing and that's when it happened.
