Played tag with Dante from the Devil May Cry™ Series
10/10

A lovely and fun survival game, that immediately managed to captivate me so much, that I had to play through it fully in basically one go.
Being thrown into a world with just little guidance (a few helpful hints that pop up occasionally) and discovering all kinds of oddities and, sometimes unexpected, events in this world is part of the charm for me and captures the experience of crashing into unknown territories - best to blindly jump into it.

It's not a particularly complex game, combat is simple and just involves clicking the mouse button, there isn't really a story to follow apart from the notion mentioned in the game's description, most of the tasks are straightforward and the crafting tree isn't complicated, but everything just feels so rewarding and engaging that you stick around.
It's easy to learn the gist of the mechanics and doesn't require a lot of playthroughs to tackle hard mode once you understand how to maneuver the world. The worlds itself are randomly generated and are not particularly big, so they aren't too difficult to navigate.

The only thing that might be lacking is, I wish there were more crafting options and varieties in the world and its events and enemies. But that's also to account for that it really had me craving for more.
Apart from that it is pretty obvious that this was a passionate project and it shows in how polished the whole experience is.
Looking forward to the next possible creations of this developer. :)

I can't get over the fact that you can give a whole cat to a crow and it flies away with it

A surreal and unique experience broaching the subjects of death and reincarnation, with gloomy influences of religion and magic.
You slip into the role of the five critters, snake, goat, monkey, spider and dragon which are all connected regarding the story line. The game play itself is a mixture of point and click and light puzzle solving, in order to unlock all possible endings on a character. There is one of the critters requiring you to use information you gather in another character's story.
Monochrome and hazy art really fits the mood and despite its simplicity, incorporates fluid animations that add to the tension rather than seeming static. The soundtrack is good too.
It was a bit creepy at times but that's just because I am easily affected by such things.
I found this game rather intriguing and enjoyable and was delighted to see that the story is planned to extend into further creations of the developer.
Well done!

make a path for the chicken
oh bat caves of plenty

wohoohoo ♫

It was enjoyable. Would lead chicken to surface again

Turnip boy is my hero and idol. He is the manifestation of 'don't just dream, do it'.
Don't just admire the celebrities and monopolies that find little loop holes to accumulate an unfairly large amount of wealth and power.
Rip and shred apart any hindrance on your way without ever losing the smile on your face.
Who knows, you might even stop a nuclear fallout one day.
But be careful of the snails: they are vegetarians!

The mad cat boogie dance is one of the best things I ever witnessed

put hours into a project and lost it all in the end after a save deleted every progress. rip

edit: the fact that I still went back after this tells that it's indeed an enjoyable game and fun to get creative with. just make sure to export your saves a lot.

give me the lööps

This game is great if you enjoy surreal and dreamy atmospheres and exploration, where you are never sure what expects you next. I played this a few months ago and still miss it here and there and as someone who enjoys these aspects in games a lot, it really managed to quench my thirst for it, so to say.
As some people stated previously, solving puzzles in the latter part of the game gets a bit more confusing and difficult. I stumbled upon a bug you most definitely will as well and questioned whether it was intentional or not. Turned out it isn't and there is an 'easier' way to complete the area and this is an example of those things not always being obvious. For me personally it doesn't take away the charm at all, as no bugs ever felt too intrusive for me to enjoy the game.
If those things don't bother you as much and you can take some uncertainty or even enjoy that, broken reality is definitely worth playing and a pretty enjoyable experience.
The atmosphere and the weirdness of the characters involved, as well as the setting just fit and the music is great on top of that and according to the theme. The take on internet culture is interesting and accompanied by the tools you receive make for a fun experience to engage with your surroundings.
