A fun puzzle storytelling game. Definitely reminded me of procrastinating with the dead ends.​

The main part of the game window looks pretty good, but the animated rainbow background and the static rainbow background are hard on the eyes. Its been a while since I've seen this sort of text based puzzle game and it was fun, if a bit rough around the edges.

PS: I think how you get the dragon's breath is particularly funny. It *is* technically heartfelt...

Cute, with a lot of options and it works fine. I do wish you could check what you need at anytime though, and the background was nice at first but a bit much overtime due to how much space it took up during gameplay.

@darkwolf @craig-l we did plan on adding an option to stop/disable the background but ran out of time, may add a quick option for that to prevent people getting sick.

Thanks for playing

Fun and cute! I found the rainbow background was a bit much when paired with the thin font.

I accidentally spent all my money on kazoos:( Good game though!

Very worthwhile, kazoo monopoly will surely pay off

mmason 2022-04-06 04:08

@wetburritosupreme accidentally or made a wise financial decision?

I liked that the game came with a volume slider and tick boxes for music and background, both were great for the first little bit but melted my brain over time haha. I found myself lost a few times but I kept wanting to get back in there to find all the items. Good job

Interesting idea and thank you for the option to turn off the background, I don't know if my brain would have been able to not melt with a scrolling rainbow in the background while reading all that. Some of the puzzles made sense, but others seemed kind of random, just click buttons until something new happens. Still, I did make it to the end nice job.

Good job with this little adventure. It was fun trying to figure things out.

A fun little text adventure about a timeloop, all the puzzles were pretty logical. I feel like some more work on the UI would make the game even better. Overall a good entry though, good job!

Pretty fun, confusing at first. Could do with some more ui polish, but it was good enough for a playthrough. Good job!

Interesting game. Nice game mechanics with a timer. Also, thanks for ability to turn off background. It is nice, but after a while it become a bit distracting. Good job with the game!

Really loved this game, very cool broken aesthetics :laughing: Spent at least 2 hrs winking at the Leprechaun. 100% would recommend.

My old gamer eyes had a hard time reading the text, a little more contrast or larger font would be cool. Nice entry.

solanumteam 2022-04-19 13:31

Really nice little game! I like the humor in it a lot! I'd just suggest to make the font a little bigger. Even in fullscreen sometimes it was hard to read. But besides that, great work ^^

it's refreshing to see a text-based story game, some combination of choices would blank out the UI at least in Firefox (not sure in Chrome)

had a good chuckle with a lot of the choices :laughing:

music is catchy :musical_score:

overall, nice one!
