Game was still playable during onset of alcohol vibing. Reviewing is getting harder.\n\nPlayed the initial bugfix version since bug fixes are allowed and I've done a few myself.\n\nWish there were sound effects. Sausage dog game was way more unforgiving than smash egg game. I disagree that it's unclear what players need to do, but there's no time to read the sentence that tells you what to do in some of them like sausage dog. Did not experience the random game over bug in smash egg. Wish I had more time to read the sentences, realized they're ALL acronyms of unstable, thought it was one like sentence starts with U, sentence starts with N.... etc. would be cool to appreciate the acronyms better.\n\nReally love the aesthetic, music was a little too repetitive without sound effects. Liked that the games seemed to be getting harder each time it went through? alien and boy shot faster. Ufo is ingrate, I fixed it and then it shoots me? Seems different alien though, different color. Maybe it's just the ufo that's angry, alien seems confused and looks around, very cute animation.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":759625,"author_name":"GodDoesPlayDice","author_uid":"goddoesplaydice","epoch":1633948486,"text":"I can forgive this game for anything because of its mesmerizing visuals and music!
