Cool vibes and very cute :D Was really in suspense on what the twist was gonna be in the end :D
Very nice idea, felt like playing through the game dev haha
I LOVE this game! I love the art work for the game and the story reminds me of just game development! :D
cool take on the theme! felt like something that would have an ARG
At the middle I had a dilemma if to give up or continue the loops and glad I did because there were some nice surprises and I got to the end of the game! Good job!
Good job on the game! It did feel satisfying using my gained knowledge of previous runs to inform future runs. If the game was fleshed out more, I think it could be improved if there was more of that feeling. It may require each iteration adding a new game mechanic.
Very cute! I like that it accurately represents the game dev experience.
Gotta say, the vibes of this game are immaculate. Really like the looping narrative and meta elements, reminds me of Minit and Deltarune esp chapter 3. It did start to feel a little flat towards the end, but great work overall
Daaam, the room flipped. Everything got simpler. One big room. This game went on a crazy little adventure! Good job!
Nice game! A bit more variation could make it even better.
A solid entry with a great idea. I feel like most people will miss the fact that you are a tester in this gmae, the biggest hint is the game name but still easy to miss the meaning..
Also some of the stages are a bit too long are peretative, but other than that a very solid game with a very creative take!
Very charming meta adventure! The sparse narrative kept me hooked throughout.
A little repetitive, but I really liked the artwork! Great submission!
Quite a strong core game with a strong story grip on the theme, I quite enjoy the many surprises. Sprite work was quite plain but works in its favor. Strong like.
actually quite mysterious, I like it.
I really liked the narrative aspect of the entire adventure. With the game-master mouse getting new ideas for how to make the game more interesting, dropping mechanics mid-way through, going back and forth on how the game should be designed, and getting doubtful if anything is even working out. It’s good metafiction. And after participating in the gamejam myself, it's certainly rather relatable. I do wish that it all culminated in something with a little more punch though. Maybe the ending is supposed to mean something greater but I personally didn't really get it. Still, good stuff.
Charming little thing, but id do feel like there coulda been more drastic changes 2 the level, its all kinda too simple i think kinda.
I enjoyed the play through. Really nice concept!
Really cool idea. I played until the end and enjoyed the journey. However the variation in puzzle solutions was not enough to warrant the length, but I could see a game with this idea succeeding as long as the loops don't have the exact same solutions each time. Great job!
