Hey Sean, of course I remember.  I'm really glad you liked the game--the music is actually Andrew's (which might be why you played it in the first place?).  

haha yessir!

v excited to check out your other work. i may crop up in another reply or two >:)

That game is amazing! Everything about it it's perfect! But I need your help!

It seams like I've completed the lauch reparation but I can't launch from inside the rock! There is something I'm forgeting about?

Sorry, it seems like there's a bug where sometimes the conditions aren't satisfied for some reason... I'm looking into it now, in the meantime here's a video of the ending (you're not missing out on much...):

Oh, thanks! That happens! I loved your game!
As I said, everything about it it's perfect! The simplicity of the game in all aspects is very beutifull and at the same time it's full of little details that catch our atention!

Congrats! In my opinion it's the best game of the Jam!!!

 :D

I was absolutely pulled into this one. I love the whole feel of it and it made me want to see it to the end. I walked back and forth, up and down a bunch but was only able to say goodbye to Gwynn and Winona. Any clues without giving away?







I'm really glad you like it (: !  There is a hidden path that leads down to the underground.. check for cracks or weird lines in the walls.

I went back and completed it. Again, what an amazing piece of art this is, the music and story along with the art... Loved this
