Very interesting game! I liked the narrative and especially how the gameplay was incorporated into the narrative overall. You did a very good job of tuning the game mechanics so it very much felt like a balancing act to keep the humans alive with food and hunger. I particularly loved how the game doesn't end and leaves you with a "maybe new life will form" and then the game just leaves you with the option to keep looping on and on. I kept at it for a while and nothing happened and that felt rather impactful. The music does well to fit the theming and atmosphere of the game, and overall this was a very cool narratively focused interpretation of the theme.

Congrats on the submission, and great job!

I love how the loop was used. It felt like the boons given, the life nurtured, was ultimately futile. And it hammers down the loneliness existence of the planet, forever giving, yet forever lonely. You used the mechanic to convey emotions, and for me, that is truly something special. Well done!

the music and tone made this feel existential which I liked. I will admit at times I was not sure if I was making the right choices but I enjoyed it none the less :)

That game was quite nice and also made me just feel sad.  I felt like a planet just trying to provide for its people and I imagine if they didn't kill each other they would have killed me instead 😢

I enjoyed the bittersweet music with the gameplay. It felt like an interactive movie. I kept the numbers up, so I'm not sure if my choices changed the course at all. Dark, but entertaining.

this game really drew me in more than i expected it would. i didn't even notice the metrics on the side at first, but once i did, it was fun to balance them. the name really fits with the ending; great work.

I'd like to focus on the more darker implications of this game but i can't because of the :3

It feels simple and you know where this is heading, but you keep on playing. It's very charming, this is a game clearly made with heart. I love how the music resonates with the story. And it's a clever twist on the loop theme.

I thought this game was really cute, but I wish there was more feedback on what my choices did! I wasn't sure if it mattered what I picked or not. A really interesting take on the theme though, well done.
