Loved it!
Ponder
blood Ink wept
created from yellow
fortune. Gesturing to nested
keys, no blood
or question mark.
Women ring and oppose
they echo suns.
I went through this one multiple times in my playthrough here - https://youtu.be/Mh5JtSS0Fq0 - had a fun time but it took a LONG time for me to figure out the composition bar at the top. D’oh! My own total failure.
Perhaps the whole point of this entry is the single room, but I felt the mobs in the dream world were very OP: but perhaps that’s how dreams feel sometimes.
Very unique entry, and thanks for submitting it! Hope your team had fun with it!
I really like the look of this.
Such beauty and eloquence crafted from my dreams.
So absurd in language, but a really great time and unique rougelike experience. I really enjoyed it :)
Some of my fire lines:
if
rest
echo if kick moon
because yellow key oscillate
