Very interesting game! I really liked the art style in the game and the characters were so weird and different. I liked the mechanics in the game, something I've never experienced before. Overall a very fun and enjoyable game with some nice fitting music :D

I don't know if you've heard of Game Development World Championship before (gdwc2019) but it's a competition for indie game developers where they can submit their games and it's free! It's great if you want some more visibility for the game and it only takes a couple of minutes to join :)
