It was a really fun game! I felt really bad for the raccoon at the end man, the poor baby

Hey, eu queria fazer um livro jogo desse jogo digital, você poderia me enviar um PDF ou material de texto com todas as escolhas e trilhas desse jogo? Assim como seus finais alternativos? 😄

Amazing.

This was beautiful, simply put. I loved the music, the style, the personalities of the characters. I can relate to the raccoon. It was such a fun video to make! Epic Game!

I really, really enjoyed playing this game! The art was awesome and the gameplay was right up my alley. Thank you for much for sharing. :)

A wonderful experience. Thank you for making this game.

I liked the rhombus

I feel like if more games ended the way this game did, then the world would be a better place.

That ending was so anticlimactic and I loved every single second of it. 

(+5)

that goddamn crescent- i wish i could have punched it in the gross face of an awful shape nobody likes 

(+6)

I can relate to the Racoon somehow,  and the ending is ... I could say it's unexpected.  The racoon didn't deserve it :( 

After all, this is a really good game but I don't understand how this is so underrated :(

(I'm trying not to give spoilers in the comment lmao)

It was sad for sure, but on par with the rest of the game. And not so bad of an ending after all... the raccoon finally gets to let go of the past and move on with their life. And the very final line of narration seems to support this.

wow this game is so funny i loved it great game

Very strange since a shape killed another shape.. but i had a great time this is an amazing game.

Very strange! Depressing yet weirdly hilarious

(+1)

I actually really enjoyed that, good job!

(+3)

Funny game with not much complexity. Really enjoyed it.
Poor Racoon, damn :(

(+3)

also WHY DO I RELATE TO THE RACCOoN

this was so random and funny!! def one of the best games i found on itch.io :)
