Great game, but it could use a TWIST: what I mean by twist is that I have a few ideas that you will either live or hate: one, maybe add a few bosses to each biome! And if you beat all bosses then it gives you a mysterious hint of some other world and as soon as I you enter another run, the entire screen shakes VIOLENTLY, as chiki looks confused and worried. After getting to the third shop and leave the ground shakes again and a roar is heard, suddenly the ground opens beneath chiki! Then the screen turns black, then chiki wakes up in a dimly lit area and hears another roar. Chiki continues on as more roars are heard more and more frequently as they get louder. Then chiki runs to a stop, as something GODLIKE falls from the sky, roars and the fight begins. You can decide the things attacks, when the thing is almost dead it refills it's HP. Try as you might, you can't leave a scratch on it. Then when you are almost dead, something falls from the sky! It's chikis friends! Together, they fuse all their attacks into one and destroy the thing! Then everything goes back to normal and chiki continues on fighting the normal bosses and getting home. When you open the main menu, a new thing pops up! And when used, it blasts the whole screen in a rainbow color but has a long cooldown. That about wraps up my idea and let me know what you think! Developer Response , Cool idea, wish I had lots more money and time to do something like that!

──先ほど『Downwell』の名前があがりましたが、ほかに影響を受けた作品はありますか？ 自分の常識を打ち破るようなインディーゲーム作品に、かなりインスピレーションを受けています。例えば、アクションゲーム『VVVVVV』やパズルゲームの『Baba Is You』は見た目がリッチじゃなきゃ売れない、面白くならないという常識を、2Dアクションアドベンチャーの『HyperLightDrifter』はドット絵は古いという常識を打ち破ってくれました。また、カナダのPolytron Corporationが開発した視点の切り替えが特徴的なアクションゲーム『FEZ』も、コンセプトを生かさなければならないという固定観念を取り払ってくれました。
Note to the artist: when the medium fails conspicuously, and especially if it fails in new ways, the listener believes something is happening beyond its limits.

Plot: In Malaysia,
Microsoft has been OpenAI’s largest investor. OpenAI said it does not have a partnership with Israel’s military, and its usage policies say its customers should not use its products to develop weapons, destroy property or harm people. About a year ago, however, OpenAI changed its terms of use from barring military use to allowing for “national security use cases that align with our mission.”

Thus the so-called *tournée* becomes a competition between increasingly meaningless brand signifiers: your discount laundry detergent racing against a pack of Astra cigarettes or even a Frittte...
