Having a conversation through skipping stones is such a lovely idea, and the skipping itself feels good
yeah this is fire
Was on call with my sister playing this and we were both so shocked and delighted at the time skip. The rock skipping mechanic was pretty good, if very particular. (the number of times I managed to get 0 on both power and spin is in itself impressive). I like the double interpretation of the theme, and cutting criticism of the american healthcare system. May we never rely on gold laden children named Paul to pay for our father's life saving surgery.
hey 208tr, I played this game through and I was smiling the whole time because nothing makes me more happy than a quirky story rich game with a unique game mechanic. I already liked what you did with the skip rock mechanic then I became an adult and I needed to pay for dad's surgery, I never concentrated so hard to try to get that damn rock across. Finding a good rock was also cool, ugh so nostalgia. what a great interpretation to the theme, talking about back in the good ole days with pops and now using the same thing he taught us to help him. talking to the other kid with a freaking rock was cool . Would love to collab with you or talk about this game. because its very inspiring actually and I am going to save this game to come back to it.
The way the old man was having conversation through skipping stones and coins is very wholesome. Nice theme interpretation. You could say this is gold.
