Sighingslider's playthrough
Riggy2k3's playthrough:
Pretty interesting!
Thanks for playing! I loved seeing your reaction to the dungeon crawler portion-- you seemed really surprised!
Love the game! Are there multiple endings? I managed to complete it without using invisibility or Pinky so figured I must have missed something?
Thanks so much :D Just one ending for now, because we had to make the jam deadline. You can use invisibility to avoid balloon pursuers in the carnival, and Pinky is just a cosmetic summon.
HawkZombie's playthrough:
This game was really weird and creepy. I enjoyed it a lot. Great work!
Thanks, you're a good commentator! If you ever decide to finish it, you can go into the tent in the sandstorm area. Theres also another area to be reached beyond the tunnels :)
I had a few bugs, one was an image missing in the download of the game. I am really curious what it is, but it did not pop up when I replayed through the game.
Thanks for the kind words and video commentary!
Especially, I appreciate the feedback. EDIT: these bugs are fixed!
