"We are NOT fine" spoken like a true top rated actor. Transition gave me such a laugh I was about to die myself (bonus points for immersion?). The looping is *somewhat* there in its mechanics but I wouldn't call it the most creative use of the theme, and the mechanics themselves are very simple but I liked the creativity of making the tracks bob with the background elements. The story is simple but engaging enough and the writing has some funny charm to it (and steve minecraft is in it). I very much enjoyed it!

This was wholesome! The rotating screen made me feel like the ending was rotating too lol.

Super charming game with a great atmosphere! The riser as you make the loops was a little loud, and I think the intro scenes could be more concise, but I really liked the narrative approach and the literal take on the theme!

Hello! I enjoyed your game Tying the Knot! I did knot think the puzzles were boring, and liked how the environment added modifiers to the knot tying. The last one on the boat gave me some real panic. The story was sweet, and the art art was nice. Great job on submitting.

I enjoyed the wholesome story, also I like how the boat was moving after the first few knots. I'd like to see more adversities being added. Nice art and vibe!

This game taught me how to tie knots just like Frog Fractions taught me math.

At first I thought it would be just a novel

Then I got scared by the seagul poop that made me lose,

Then I spent 10 minutes on the third level because I couldn't hold the mouse straight ( and almost ended up breaking it)

At the end I gave up, (mouse still intact), pooped on and feeling defeated.

But I'll come back to defeat level 3, even if that is the last thing that I do in my life.
