i would marry this game <3
This game gave me multiple mental breakdowns,disorders, seizure and so much more. Besides me wondering what wrong pass in life I took to deserve this difficulty of a game, I don´t regret a second of it. <3

oh my gamedesign supervisor Deren said the kinda same as you to my game :]

I will try my best that my next game cures the caused damages from this game! Anyways thanks for playing!
Great game with an awesome mechanic - took me a moment to get the hang of it but it was all the more rewarding afterwards.
Looking forward to future projects! :)
love this Game <3
