    I have never heard Mike say "No" so many times in succession.

    Looks all right as puzzle games go, but that isometric viewpoint is completely unnecessary. And it looks like it snaps back when the player tries to adjust to something that would actually be helpful.

    You can file that under "Things That Make You Question the Developer's Sobriety".

    I'm not a nice guy, I just play one in real life.

    Hey I made this game! Thanks for playing it, guys.

    Oh man, I thought this was it. This was finally it. This would be the time Jerry would split up with and possibly murder Mike. Given the video evidence, I'm sure no jury could vote to convict.

    Looks like it would be fun if the controls weren't utter shit.

    @tube Uh, tell it to Kruum and Jhalil Gibran first, they didn't exactly make a secret of their disdain.

    Perhaps if they're posting in the forum I will.

    It's hard to tell through the "nopes" how much he's really trying, but it IS a little surprising how bad the ARTIST of PA seems to be at spatial reasoning and counting blocks!

    Controls are still a damn shame though. Goes to show, doesn't matter how enticing your concept is if you don't fine tune your UI to give people a way in.

    Kind of a relief actually. It felt like every indie puzzle game on this show was a cute little ball of joy there for awhile, nice to see there's still room out there for some imperfection...

    Also, stop shitting on a game that cost $5. I would say "until you've produced a game at least as polished" but really, no. Just don't do it.

    I've had lots of ideas and started on building lots of games, but I never finished them. This game seemed FAR more interesting and polished than MANY of the games on First 15. I tip my hat to SpookyCat. Good job, you.

    Fun fact: Snakes have two dicks.

    Mike and Jerry channeling their inner Sesame Street Martians.

    I concede to the controls not being perfect, but hey, I had fun making this game. It was actually part of my senior thesis! Fun facts. Speaking of which, The Ninth Guardian is comin' in hot with snake dick facts! You learn something every day.
