Neat idea but, I found it getting a bit repetative given how little input you have over the game.

oh wow this was certainly interesting. when i first tried to close the game i got lowkey scared when the text starting changing lol. i got up to the point where it was saying "kill me" i tried alt f4 but that didnt work so then i used the task manager and it did close. was that the end of it or did i miss another clue. visually very appealing and an interesting concept!!

@king-cacti Yes this is the end, maybe you should write spoiler before your post just in case?

Do not play. The only way to close it is Windows Task Manager. (thanks, @king-cacti !!)

Good Game with decent graphics

@peace-of-cake-games This only happens at the end of the game and is part of the narrative.

@constantin , technically it isn't an issue for people who know the Windows administrative apps, but not everyone knows to force quit apps using Task Manager. Maybe you should put a hint to use Task Manager (or Alt-Command-Escape on Mac) to close the app. I'm sure lots of people will end out getting stuck and having to reboot their computers.

For a while, while I was (spoiler) getting smaller, I thought I was actually just glitching into the ground. I'm not sure if there's a way to indicate size changes better, but they seemed so incremental that it was weird to realize after things worked and I didn't know how, instead of figuring it out then working it out. Still fun though, good mechanic, and good use of space for infinite looping.

Super unique presentation, and a couple cool puzzles. I don't mind the twist, though I would have enjoyed a couple more puzzles before getting there. A more leading prompt than STAY WITH ME might have been good: I spent like 5 minutes in the ?? area wondering what I was doing wrong.

This game is so beautiful in its simplicity, I don't even know what to say! The puzzles are amazing. A combination of colors and audio keeps you in a mellow relaxed mood throughout the whole game, and right in the end breaks your heart with the... Oh well, this is spoiler territory already, so I'll stay silent. Great game!
