This one was different, no so much a game, but as you say, an interactive poem. What a vibe! 

The visuals, music, and design worked well together to create a mood. I did think the music was a weak link in this regard, i liked it, it was just a tad too repetative and didnt loop nicely.

Otherwise, thank you for the message and poetic interpretation of  the theme. 

If I were to suggest anything, I thouht the ability to ascend aswell as descend was interesting, I thought maybe u were going for something celever where the text would read differently if you reversed it, and while im not suggesting you do that (I suppose it would be a little corny) I wonder if there isnt something interesting that could be done with the ascend/descend mechanic.

Thank you for playing! I appreciate the feedback. I agree that the music could use a bit of work. Unfortunately, Decker only allows 10 seconds of audio for music. I need to learn how to extend the duration of soundtracks. That will be a mission for my next project! ^^

Your suggestion of having different text to read in relation to “ascend” and “descend” is quite interesting! I will have to toy with that idea before making something. Thank you for that!
