A lot of fun experimental rooms can't figure out what to do in the eye rooms either tbh
thanks for playing :D the controls are kinda tricky you have to hold down certain keys and press some other keys at the same time it's a keyboard carnival
Oh i figured out most of the controls and mechanics for that part, just not how to *win* it.
ah, then you need to get your shadow to meet the symbol critters :) they will vanish together
kinda figured but it seemed pretty hard and tedious
yeah i was trying to make them a bit frustrating :S but every time you re-enter the dream zone there are fewer critters, so it gets a bit easier
hey deimos. stumbled into this via q1, was very synchronous as lately i'm think about and drawing the moon deimos a lot. did u know it's leaving?
i had a very good time in the hotel, thank you. i felt very held by the darkness between rooms when i realised that i couldn't really get lost. the 'blink' game is particularly delightful, after replaying thrice to get to that i still feel that i don't understand the symbol critters' behavior and that excites me.
thanks so much for playing! i don’t think about moon deimos very often, but it’s comforting to know it’s there.
really happy to hear you trying to understand the symbol critters, because imo making players curious and confused is often only a thin line apart, and i haven’t quite learned how to deliberately balance that yet. i also really love your reflection on realizing you couldn’t truly get lost. that’s a very interesting way to put it.
i love getting lost in little games so i was quick to notice :]
just as refreshing as your other games, thank you for making it!
thanks for the support iscream <3
woww its a deimos extravaganza...!!
i enjoyed wandering through deimos hotel. i never found my room but i left a bunch of them. i wonder who i am and what kind of room i am meant to be in and why it's not any of the ones i encountered
thanks for sharing q1 :)) i thought of your 10,000 rooms a lot while making this game
Awesome game! I felt lost the whole time, not gonna lie. I got stuck on a segment similar to one in your other game, 'Fireworks', which I can't seem to find right now, but which was very good too.
Never stop making games!
thank you flowered stoat! nsmg
You're more than welcome! But, what does nsmg means? hehe, i'm sorry, i'm not a native English speaker
it's alright! Never stop making games!
