read the >waypoint review< & the twitter thread linked therein, which lays it all out.
what could have been a really clever & well-scoped indie imsim, sabotaged by bad management & released essentially as an unpatchable beta.
i genuinely enjoy the game when it works, but i cannot recommend it unless you have a deep well of patience & an understanding of the material conditions under which it was made.
solidarity with the devs, & hoping Lady Luck sees them land on their feet ✊♥

it's ghiblish in that there is nature & there are robots, & one of the robots might be a good robot, but it's missing the analysis of why those robots were built, by whom, under what material conditions, &c. &c.
why is nature good. is it really good? the crabs are cute but what is their agenda?
music's great.
i am literally begging you, if you're making a platformer, never gate progress behind a prolonged section where you invert controls, no matter how Meaningful it is.
