I had fun reading all the signs! I also love the way the game looks. I thought I had to defeat the monster, but in the end I won without it (after losing in various ways :') ) Good job!

Very nice. I appreciate the console logs.

That was experience I came here for! Starting with epic space fight, I felt some hope until I realized that the green line, that was so long that didn't even fit to the screen, was enemy's health bar. It's hardly a fair fight.

I did my best but unfortunately, I managed to end the entire world :-/ I must admit there really were rsigns. I cannot say I haven't been warned.

As always, I appreciate custom fonts, super-weird vibe and frantic chaotic action :) I feel there were less chaos and screaming this time. Or maybe I'm just used to it and I slowly starting to need higher doses. But at the end of the day, I reached super high score, so I did well. And so did you with the game!

But what about just a game .exe? If I need to compile myself, most people wouldn't do it or wouldn't have the time to do that :/

@aweskybear They are simply jar executables. All you need is java and you're good to go.

Haha this was great! HE was indeed big and green. Love the erratic, frantic UI. Game reminds me of Hylics.

Awesome entry, super funny, great work!

забавная графика, мне понравилось

This was definitely a dope-y experience! XD

Text's been a bit hard to read here and there but overall, I believe it contributes to the overall feeling of... craziness :D

I am slightly conflicted internally.. in a good way :smile:

When I downloaded and started the game... I was not even prepared for the title screen :scream:

That was very cool. I won and scored 12137559 It was so messy and crazy it just felt like having fun as a kid. The font was hard for me to read but that happens a lot.

As always, that was bizarre AND fun! I did win in the end, that first part though... that was rough!

Another wonderful meta-comedy of games and a commentary on player agency in modern games. Loved the bespoke font, as always! 😊 Thanks for being in the stream today; here's the VOD: https://youtu.be/HGwzSkcD2uU

ok, so.... I won the space battle. I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to do that. My wrist hurts.

benskca 2026-05-07 23:11

I am not sure what just happened but I liked it. Visuals are insane and very fun :)

I know the gameplay isn't really the point, but oh MAN my wrist hurts from spam clicking :')
