Hi and thanks for this game. I just re-bought "Planar Tales" in this bundle (previously I have it from band camp), just to "send a signal" about how good this bundle is. My best wishes with this journey.
You made me cry :(
Thank you so much! Let me know if you ever get to play it for criticism or if you have something you like in particular!
Thanks. I'll play it as soon as I have time (pretty tight moments over here now). I just want to see this happen.
Itch doesn't have reactions. But your comments make smile of happiness.
Cheers,
❤️ Check out your mail!
Sending you a mail. ;)
