I managed to download it from itch.io but it's crashing when I press Start Game D: I extracted both .exe and .pck in the same folder.

I really enjoyed playing your game! Good job.

A simple yet intruiging idea. I especially like that every reaction to a wish was explained, sicne some had implication that were different from what I expected. I played a couple of times and dont think I got any wish offered twice, so there seem to be a solid amount of potential wishes =)

One little nitpick: try not naming the zipfolder just "windows 64" or similar, since tons of people do this already and it makes it annoying to figure out what game in my LD46 folder I wanted to play.

@fvafhae @radow thanks so much, while having a time constraint, i made the names really dull to make it easy to identify them.

The reactions to the wishes I granted were definitely not what I expected! It was fun seeing the silly things that people wish for and the random consequences. I lost the first time, but won the second time. Once I started recognizing repeats, it wash pretty easy (protip: ice cream is bad, organizations are good). Pollution didn't seem like a very big constraint, the hard part was keeping people alive and happy.

The sound was pretty minimal, and the music didn't really hook me especially since it was only on the title screen. I also wish there was a little bit more art. I wanted to see the consequences of my actions somehow, either seeing the earth change or seeing a picture after I granted a wish.

I think the pacing was really good. Ten wishes was the perfect amount. I saw a couple repeats, but not too many, so there was just the right amount of content. A lot of other people made management-style games where you try to keep something alive by making choices and watching meters, but a lot of those other games are too slow or too repetitive. But the choice to make a limit of 10 wishes was really smart and made the game feel like a really nice complete package.

Great pixel art ! It was captivating whenever we had to make a decision and we don't know what will increase or what will decrease! Greato Jobu! :smile:
