absolutely!! :3 thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas through art! i recently 'finished' everything is going to be ok which was a huge help to my mental state and really helped me process a lot of things so i cant help but gush
loved this game but wish it went more into what we as developers can do to fight back. Also im gonna vomit trying to qrite this
yo
Is this comments section legit? Shame I can't really scroll through and read them all without getting dizzy :P
Anyway, I loved this game. As someone who was born in the 90s, I also yearn for the days when the internet was wilder and less corporate.
this game is fun ig
Ahh
ahhhhhhhhasda
WOAHHHHHH!!!
mom did you see me doing the backflip?
What the flip
uhhh the comment bar is spinning
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i will play this after i get past the comments tutorial... waiting to post...
daaam
😵💫
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
weeeeeeeeeee
weeeeeeeeeeeeee
How are you even getting the website to do this?? this is awesome.
You perfectly captured the mystique and majesty of the first days of the internet and how creative it all was. I'm hoping this will inspire more people to get out there and create their own spaces in the midst of all the corporate greed and desolation.
ello can i please have incorrect dinosaurs source code? i like the dos window and message box
spiiny comments
woooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Damn the comments are spinning. Epuc game btw :D
I had the potato floating on my screen for almost the whole game. Really opened my eyes as someone who has no idea what I'm missing out on. As someone who never knew to see tech from this perspective. As someone who has had software sold to me as the rich big wigs selling the right to create to us mere mortals. Creativity is something that belongs to us all to express ourselves. Just because the means of creation seem to be Commoditized does not mean we don't still have the resources to share and express our ideas and interests the same way others once did. Thank you for this piece of art. Okay it's really hard to write this while its spinning so I'll end it here.
WEEEEEEEEEEE
i guess leaving a comment is somewhat futile given the dizzying circumstances but this was good thanks for making it
i cannot read anything in the comments but i believe them
aye
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SPIN
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
SPINNY SPINNY!!!
This rotating comment box is neat and all, but I really wish I could read the comments to see if anyone else is have the technical problem I'm having so I can try to fix it and actually be able to play the game.
What problem r u having?
I couldn't get the linux native version game to run, and the windows version ran at 2 fps in the WINE bottle I normally use for itch games. I did eventually get it to run at normal fps under proton experimental.
Glad you got it figured out :)
I am proud of myself for writing a comment. Also slightly dizzy.
