fucking fantastic… how does one even make something like this? even just rotating this book in my head feels like im being tricked by you. get out of my head!

haha, well i’m glad i could help in more than one way! i’ll still put this option in the next version because that area is also where drafts for blog posts/devlogs live so either way it might be good to rearrange those in a clever way :)

thank you! maybe having “put the game list first” as an option for the next update might not be an bad idea 🤔

i think i tend to close all my “recently updated games” notifs but i did wonder what the worst case for those notifs would look like… much to ponder, thank you for the feedback!

nah i added that after your first comment because i always forget to add that to my browser games… as a general rule though it’s never a good idea to try to play web games in the itch.io desktop app.

you wouldn’t download a browser game

thank you! it was made in an early version of inkrunner with a custom plugin that also runs jupiter engine in it.

really really enjoyed this! i love your writing as always

:’( :’)

flemington bridge jumpscare…

forgot to comment but i really like the presentation and writing in this… the descent into gibberish works sooo well

amazing

queensland jumpscare

so cool!!

just doing my tasks

this is so cool…

it’s in the game description mate, has been for the past 6+ years.

this is the stuff

did an alien bug seeking a lifetime partner make this!? lovely art :)

*getting the answers right by trial and error* just like learning a real language!

ahh the old chrome/firefox text rendering discrepancy… unfortunately i still get the cropped text on firefox (my main browser), but it looks completely fine on chrome!

excellent stuff! really nice use of the domino tool, it’s so clever…

one thing worth pointing out: the text cuts out on a few of the cards, making it impossible to read the end of certain sentences. i would recommend tweaking the CSS to either making the font size just a little bit smaller, or making the cards fit the height of the text columns (or both).

lol nah it was made in html, css and inkrunner!

thanks for the link! lol i can respect the commitment to verisimilitude, it’s cool. i don’t have a playdate so i wouldn’t be able to play it, but i love the greyscale look. maybe one day i’ll make a monochrome/1-bit bitsy game…

i don’t really mind as long as you make it clear in the title and thumbnail that it’s a remix/“cover” in addition to the crediting!

assuming you’re trying to play it through the itch.io desktop app, you’ll have to download the game from your usual browser instead for now!

thank you! my name’s not “Cecil” though!

wait fuck someone already said this word. ah well, this is incredible.

gorgeous!

most of the best things in life are free 😏

insane to post this on the jam page and not on the actual game’s comments lol

shoutouts to banksy for donating art for this game

SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS

hell yeah

very sharp style of writing and also genuinely funny, which is always a plus.

such an interesting examination of sports in the general cultural consciousness (specifically american here but i think it applies to other cultures too more or less) and then the performance… gender, gender roles and gender dynamics as performance, liking sports as performance, clichés and their inversions…

i think this is one of my favourite interpretations of the theme!
