I got the messed up ending, but I was save scumming, so it was kind of deserved.

I really appreciate your patience with the game, especially after encountering the hastily patched bug with the banana combat. It was valuable to see where the pathing did and didn't work, and it's definitely a great piece of evidence to see why shorter games are more beneficial. We'll have a fully patched version released anon for a smoother experience.


On behalf of each game you reviewed, thanks for producing such an important document. There are jam entries I've made in the past which now only exist as gameplay videos. You are providing a very important service, thank you.

Such cool game ! Everything fits so well together, from art to music to dialog and gameplay. Got genuine laughs, and the “bond” mechanics really add a lot of empathy in the mix. Love it !
