Good audio and mood! The feel of this game is kinda dark.

This was an absolute blast, the first room especially gave me huge waves of nostalgia for 90s point-n-clicks that probably never existed

spiral sam liked my song!!!!!!

Ah man this game made so much sense 🤣 I had a good chuckle and even a laugh at times, the end is just glorious. The one dark environment with the toad is a little to dark though.

Very surreal experience you've crafted. Love how some of the characters still have little white bits around where they were cut out. Really sells the aesthetic. I wouldn't mind seeing something longer in this style.

Cool surreal atmosphere!

this was awesome! would love to see a longer point a click from you in the future. loved the characters, the sound, the graphics, the mood and the variety of instruments! also what kind of drum machine was that in the ferret room?

fun little game with a great mood! My one gripe is that the text box arrow was really small

seezogames 2020-10-05 15:22

felt very surreal, the mood of it was excellent

@patetfisk thank you so much!! that was an omnichord! a super weird little synth from the 80s

The music and tone really makes this a highlight! Short and sweet, but easily one of my favourite experiences. Kitty did such a good job on the mic :)

I'm completely in love with this. What a trip. I really, really love your visuals and sound. Off to commit more dream crimes ~

I loved repenting for my dream crimes! This game is quite simple and beautiful, and feels very distinct from the other offerings I've had a chance to play so far. The sound design stood out to me as especially strong - I probably spent too much time vibing with Spiral Sam at the end - but I have no regrets.

@ashley-koett yes i love the omnichord i meant the box shaped one though! looks like an old rhythm machine

ashley-koett 2020-10-05 22:02

@patetfisk oh! it's an old clock from the 70's haha, it's my roommate's. it barely makes sense as a drum object but i just liked how it looked

ashley-koett 2020-10-05 22:11

@hamus aw thank you so much!! the kitty is from a picture i took of my kitten haha, and the meows in the final song are from recordings of her meowing :)

raddishradish 2020-10-05 23:34

Really cool vibe! I love the animal band :)

This game was hilarious, loved it!

How could I not play this game? Very trippy game and mood at first. Good background music. Played it 3 times to get different endings. 10/10 would commit dream crimes to spiral dance again.

This is utterly bizarre and I love it. Great work.

lanalux 2020-10-08 00:43

Very surreal and creative. I liked it a lot. Reminded me a bit of Samorost. :)

Loved the atmosphere. Great game!
