YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
im having a stroke trying to read the name
I love this game. It has that wierd facinating vibe in making me laugh and nostalgic at the same time. <3
I draws me in to wonder around to die again. and the music is so fitting.
and the sheer vastness of the world, while being a bitsy game ! o.O
I am in awe <3
thank you so much! 😊 yeah it was kind of crazy doing this in bitsy, i was lucky to know a good ordinatrice, and good musickers! a good place to die!
I love the music!
yeah my friends made such good music for this, especially on such short notice! 🤩
I just discovered this game today, and I adore it. The weird humor (this is EXACTLY my shit ♥♥♥) the way the state of the Girlswamp slowly dawned on me... it hits home hard sometimes.
Thank you for this game. There's a lot more to see here, yet, and I want to see ALL of it. ♥
aww! its good to hear about your experiences of visiting the Girlswampwar. 🌄🗺 thank you for this supportive message, and good luck to your travels in all zones 😌
I don't have any input other than this is bizarre, amazing, and I love it
thank you simone!! ☺️💃🎶🎷🐛
I forgot how much I love this game holy shit. Replaying cause I can sneak the zip file into my computer class lol. I've gotten both the blue and demon tarot endings by this point but I'm having fun finding new ways to die. The hellish cycle of reincarnation is endless! This game feels endless and is incredibly fun for the whole glitchbrained family!
(I love how all of the characters are made of bits and scraps but still have our illusory idea of a 'personality')
I was wonderin...how do I find an orc girl to smooch...
sometimes there's
an orc girl on the trainhaha thanks! im glad you can steal back some time in class with it.
gj getting the endings! and yeah only a little spark is needed for humans to anthropomorphize even the smallest block of pixels, its cute to me 😋
Heyyy, could you please release a downloadable version of the game ?
here ya go bud!

thank you so much ! I'm really looking forward to play to this game after my exams, very excited !
Have a nice day ! :)
you're welcome! good luck with exams! 📚
hey ! Sorry i took a while. I tried out your game and i really liked it. I found it very funny and charming, while at the same time slightly disturbing. Thsnk you for making it and giving me the zip.
:)
Ps - hope ur doing fine in the current situation
thank you, heheh! glad it was helpful! i'm doing as well as i can be given the Situation, hope you're doing okay too 🦠🌐🌈
Swell game! The world is strange and I like spending time in it and talking to its girls. This game seems angry about a lot of IRL things I'm also angry about and this is satisfying to me for some reason.
I got the demon tarot ending. I also enjoyed turning into a strange creature in the woods. Though I cannot for the life of me figure out the four digit code in the nightclub and was wondering if anyone had any hints about where to discover those digits.
thank you! ::) girls...IRL angry things...it's got it all!
congrats on the demon tarot ending 🃏😈. i think the nightclub code is just a little room i put in for people subscribed to my patreon (the code is in the girlswampwar post i made on there). there's nothing massive or important in it.
I love it! I don’t know what’s going on, but I love it! Wish I knew how to get to the end though...
thank you! there are multiple possible ends...one involves demon tarot...talk to the professor in the city by the sea...the other involves finding all the blue rooms and sparkly orbs
Do you think you ever make a guide on these endings? im so bad at this game and I’ve never been able to get any ending ;u; sorry if this is boeghering u! this game is so good
SPOILERS:
the professor in the lab in the south isle connected by bridge to the sea city of Glitzfoam will show you 4-tile images that match locations in the world. hidden booster packs await...once you build your deck, go to the city of roads in the upper middle of the world map and go to the lower right tower to face the ultimate challenge,.,,..
another ending: find all the sparkly things and follow the cryptic instructions in the mountain in the island
thank you!!!!
I know I didn't play much but from what I did, the comments, and what I heard from the engine you used this is so cool, it looks so fun to explore around and just take everything in, I like how you made a collision over you so it looked like a platformer, awesome.
thanks! :) yeah switching perspectives is one of my favorite things to do in bitsy, even to the point of illegibility...letting people figure out these skewed rorschach worlds...
this is amazing and terrifying and I love it! I keep exploring it and finding new things, just over and over again. and dying a lot. this is SO SO SO GOOD.
thanks for dying in my virtual amusement park!! 😄😄😄🎠🎠🎠🎡🎡🎡🍿🍿🍿
This is gonna require a lot more playthroughs to soak in all the coolness, but I wanted to say ✨✨wow✨✨!!!!!!!!! Great job, there's ~so~ much packed into this Bitsy game!!!! And the almanac that comes with it is super cool as well! 💖
thank you for the encouraging words!! 🌀🙋📗
