This is a piece of art......Splendid. By the way, is there actually an exit or not?

Super coooooool game! The interpretation of the theme and then making it into a desktop game? Suuuperb! The game has created tons of WOWs for me, really enjoyed it.
As a Tetris fan I kinda enjoy this twist! The visuals are excellent and the vibes is chill. The innovation is surprising too. However, at first I didn't realize that the place I can put the letters are fixed. So iit will actually be better to have a pre-select-and-place mechanism or so. Overall a great enjoyment.
Super innovative idea! Should be more attractive to me if it didn't run into me when I was doing my calculus homework(kidding). It's amazing to see such a "nerdy" interpretation towards "limit" and to cope with that sketchy art style, it reminds me of the old time ios&android arcade games. Should send this to my Math teacher( Great job!
THIS GAME CAN BE RELEASED AND LAUNCHED RIGHT NOW!!!!!Insane completness and crazy artwork. Enjoying a super immersive atmosphere when playing. LOVE it.
Suitable for a touhou fan like me! A very well-comppleted work.
Tons of thanksssss to the commenters! I am a freshman of this university and a first time gam jammer in charge of the setting, scripts and sound/SFX embedding. Due to the lack of experience, I faced some probelms when integrating my fully functioning SFX version with my team members's using plasticSCM, so sorry for presenting the game without any SFX. However, such bug should be fixed very soon.
On the other hand I was actually quite worried that as written by a Chinese, my sense of humour won't be got by others, which doesn't seem to be a problem nowヾ(≧▽≦*)o.Thanks again for liking my scripts.Enjoy the game!!
@gamester1128 Hi, scripter here! Suppose that the problem you face is the green/yellow box near the finish line doesn't respond to your input which is totally possible for the reasons follow: 1, you have run out of the space bar available! on the bottom right corner we have a counter that shows you how many space bar remains for you to use. 2, for the dash function, we set a limit of its max distance so it's not possible to dash too long. A shadow of the protagnist will be shown in the direction that you want to dash once the distance is within reach and there's no barrier at the destination. Once the shadow is displayed, that means you are able to dash! Feel free to try again（if you run out of sapce bars, click the upper right corner and you shall see a restart button to restart the level.) and thanks for playing our game!
@xlores-liang （我就说写双语介绍界面能炸出来国人，哈哈！）音效这边原本是要用wwise搞个随机容器但是版本控制用不了只好作罢，按键失灵可能是极小概率bug（？）也有可能是空格键使用次数用完（标在右下角）。第四点我们在brainstorm的时候确实有想到，所以其实有一些设置了的使用位置是干扰项，或者说通过不同的路径的组合鼓励玩家探索出次数最少的解法（说到这里想到没能实现的通关得分系统T_T）Anyway！感谢你玩我们的游戏！
Too cute and too EPIC result in a really interesting funny result. Good for a cat person!
Sanity is dropping quickly......
This masterpiece makes me awe...It's pure the 9th art by merging a Sisyphus parable in the statement that we humans as tiny creatures should accept the absurdity of the world and face it(DK if I get the whole picture of the author)The vibe is extremely good and has clearly been through a lot of the other 8 categories of art. What can I say, 大佬牛逼！
5/5 I don’t care, it’s a RAT game!!
社长牛逼！单人操作双电梯是天才设计！8bit音乐也很带感！Great Work！就是现在版本有个显示层级的小bug，后面几关低楼层的感叹号会被上面一层楼的地板遮住。
The depth of the system of this game is simply amazing. TRUE ANT DIVERS II LOL.
It’s hard to believe that someone did a Lovecraft VN in a game jam that is somehow indeed suitable for the theme of tiny creatures. Love it!
The visual and audio and completeness of this is shocking. The try on taking the snail race reminds me of Turbo the movie.然后我一看美工有做了Sustaining的国人大佬啊那没事了。祝大佬获得好成绩！！
This is one of the works that I have played that truly sees tiny creature to the tiniest possible that it can be!! The visual effect is also very impressive, especially for a Jam game. The sfx for the nanobots are also very cute!! nicely done!!
@quality-tisel Huuuuge thanks for your kind and detailed feedback and sorry for the bugs we omitted during the short testing stage. The bugs that you have mentioned is now fixed and we are now busy adding a more detailed SFX system that should be able to warn you about the approaching animals, such version is coming very very soon. For now, welcome experience the latest version that should be able to let you play the whole process!!
@quality-tisel MORE sfx added!!Now you can know how close you are to those killer animals via some really badass heartbeat sound.
@wo-ri-gou-le 感谢你的锐评！ 再发那条“拉票”的号召之前，作为参加过一次LD的人，我清楚地知道LD是严肃的，“只有参与者能够投票”，也就是就算我的“亲友团”们注册了账号也不会对我的成绩有任何的用处。只是可能你并不清楚在得知我参与了这个项目之后我有几个朋友希望能够稍微支持一下，能够注册账号来玩一玩。我个人也参与过其他的游戏设计比赛的项目并取得过比LD更为瞩目的成绩，所以我好像并不是很需要你所言的“虚荣心”，而只是单纯地想要分享这份纯粹的快乐（？）我能理解你对于LD的严肃性以及神圣性公正性的顾虑，我们在这方面绝对没有非分之想。
关于游戏本身，碰撞箱方面的问题，视觉传达方面的不足，关卡设计的缺陷，我们也是十分清楚这个情况，在自己测试的过程也有抱怨。 可是： 1、我们的六人小组中只有三个人有不足一年的Unity经验，甚至有着游戏设计经验的也只有两人（包括我本人）。我们的美工第一次接触与游戏相关的视觉传达，我们的关卡设计更是第一次“干这件事”。 2、This is LD, a game jam, and our group is consisted of 4 rookies in basically EVERTHING. Two of us in this group who are more experienced(though only more experienced for 1 year) will have to also shoulder the task to teach them. 3、If this can't remind you of your days as a rookie developer to have some basic mercy, and even keeps you rushing towards us and scold more hash words, man, what can I say? 4、Wish you all the best for your COMPO game in this LD!!And welcome you to witness the growth of our" bunch of rookies that can't even make a freaking mario game!"：）
Happy LD jamming for all! And welcome more constructive advices!
@wo-ri-gou-le Surely I see your emphasize and the importance of Mario to you from your perspective, and indeed that my Mario experience of merely Maker2 and Odyssey(Something I tried so hard to gather all the power moons but failed halfway due to my broken NS),and the latter I have to use help mode for those power moons is indeed too shallow that our game is in no way close to any Mario game.
And Yes, we will definitely make better games in the future and use some more advanced game techs. We will also make a game that does not have much plot and try to focus on some more innovated gameplay--something we haven't yet dive into too much. Wish we make progress together!!
Thanks for your generous response and helpful suggestions again!
@absolute-garbage Thanks for your comments! Indeed that though we have only used AI art for the cover, we forget that such thing is very tricky in a game jam like this. So yes, our artist has just drew a new cover for it. You are welcome to comeback and check it out!
@lussard-studio @damdoshi @tsaot @foursay Hey guys! Our game has just undergone a physic rework so the problems of clumsy controls should be fixed! You are welcome to try it out again!
@wdnmdld 似乎我每次打比赛都是在做硬核游戏（？）无论如何，这可能是操作方面有点沾手导致的，现在的版本应该解决了一点这个问题，再来就是我们的关卡设计是第一次做游戏！可能有些不太成熟的关卡设计之处还请多多包涵(((((友组的LUCA也是各方面都强！看到这里的也可以去试试他们的游戏！
@t90 yep absolutely the beginning part of it is a bit overwhelming. Our level design will surely take your advice. Thanks for your reply!
@rico-click 确实确实，操作手感方面四个程序都被拷打个遍啦🥵最新版本的操作手感大改是修改摩擦力并且把两侧墙壁的检测关掉，已经体感上相对之前有比较大的改善。感谢友组反馈！回去我们再想想办法！大家看到这里也可以去玩玩他们的游戏！
A VR game in a GameJam, Crazy!!!
Love the art style!! The chase is tense but not too much. Good job!
The audio is quite fun, and despite the kind of tricky control, the game implements a fun system. It surprised me to see that this is a two-man-team work. Huge congratulations for making it playable!! The little monsters are cute also.
As a jam game, it's quite surprised to see that you have created something quite finished in 3 days. The characters are so cute and the try on the theme is a ggod one. Taking the perspective from tiny creatures is really a good thing to make!! The scene has a very chill vibe also. Good try1
真 正 的 超 凡 蜘 蛛 侠 A M A Z I N G S P I D E R M A N
友组牛啊，猜测是有受到Annapurna的Gorogoa画中世界启发？玩的时候的mood和vibe很不错！（催催修bug）
Remind me of some good old arcade games, nicely done.
Damn!! The Tiny creatures are so lovely! The movement and action are so slick also. Super well-made visuals and enemy logics also.
Again amazed by what foursay has created, a total decomposition of the jam theme yet 100% suited the theme and elaborated it. I really enjoyed such Sisyphus-fable-telling interactive novel which reminds me of my high school years when I kept talking to myself in the dairy.
Also the CRT scan line and the humming cooling system as ambience, together they create crazy vibe as you start typing and entering the twist.
Thank you for keep creating such amazing arts and expanding the frontiers of "what is a game".
刚好最近在浅浅收集做痛包的材料hh, 画风很可爱很甜美，多属性三消的玩法也很有深度，就是如果解锁升级的难度曲线能稍微调优一下就好了（也有可能是我太菜了
@akuta-zehy Huuuuuge thanks for providing such valuable suggestion on our game! As a team with 4 artists (plz opt me out ^_^), we certainly feel very confident with our art. As for the glitches issue...... we have been testing and debugging afterwards, and though there must still be some minor (hope so) abnormalities there but I believe our 1.1.2 version has already solved most of the problems. Feel free to try it out again!
感谢您的游玩！对于游戏内的诸多bug我们后续有在进行不断的测试和debug，目前的1.1.2版本应该已经解决了大部分问题，欢迎再来游玩！
Ver.1.1.2 Update Notes
We have taken notice of all the issues reported by players, and thanks to the hard work of our team member (especially our deliberate chief programmer @Yumo), we now post a 1.1.2 version that should have already solved most of the issues. For new players hesitating whether to play it or not, referring to the comment section, please make sure to download the 1.1.2 version instead of others. For those who have already experienced this tiny journey, feel free to try again！
The obstacles along your journey have quietly faded away. In this update, we fixed an issue where the main storyline key could not be obtained, and another where some players might become stuck in certain stages and unable to move forward.
旅途中的阻碍已被悄然移除。 在这一版本中，我们修复了主线流程中无法获取“通关钥匙”的问题，也修复了部分玩家在关键关卡中被困、无法继续前行的状况。 — Thank you to everyone who paused on their journey to share feedback with us. 💫 ——感谢每一位在旅途中停下脚步、给予反馈的你。💫
