How long do you want us to keep talking about the same short single player puzzle game, and how often? What is the minimum player count it should maintain despite being a short single player puzzle game? We played it. It was fun. If there's more you still want to talk about then you should try asking a question about the game instead.

You play as an annoying fairy that has to touch all the amphibians, after touching an amphibian, the amphibian will get mad at you and try to eat you in revenge meaning you have to puzzle a way to save yourself, sometimes this mean to push a button to raise a wall, sometimes it means letting a different fairy other than you getting eaten oh and different fairies have different roles like there's a muscular fairy that can chuck you through the gaps
Tl;Dr, it's just a cute puzzle game

Far as I know the game did okay, and I haven't played it, but here's my observations and guesses:
>indie game
>pretty much exclusively advertised only on 4chan as far as I can tell
>niche appeal across the board due to being a non-standard puzzle game
>vague title and concept that leans on curiosity, resulting in people having to care enough to even ask what the game's about
>even the fans of the game are intentionally vague when asked what the game is or how you play it (haha u poke toads, duh lol)
>not even screenshots of the game give the barest hint as to what the fuck's going on or what the player's doing or trying to do in said screenshot
>no "hook" to the game outside of curious people buying it to figure out what the fuck's going on, and maybe some people that like how charming the fairies are
>relatively short
>no puzzle-game streamer/Youtuber to prop it up
Kinda related:
I would've bought Bombun if it wasn't just some speedrunning-bait slop game pretending to be an N64 Bomberman clone. I'm not desperate enough to buy a game like that just because it's buny.
Barely related:
Vividlope's dev aiming for some super niche audience by making some niche puzzle-platformer type of game instead of something more """normal""" still annoys me, I like the artstyle and the characters, but have no interest in the gameplay, so I never bought it.

grumpy toad works a 9 to 5 but he leaves the house before his kids wake up for school and comes back home after his wife has already put them to bed because he hates having responsibility and would much prefer to shoot the shit with his work mates over sports tv or drink alone if he's got no other choice.

I'm not a paid shill, I don't have to give advice beyond what is entertaining to me. I don't get money when the creator of this game gets money. If I was interested in cultivating a longterm fandom for a random indie game, I would be drawing porn instead.

Incredible, every single one of your observations might be wrong. I did not even KNOW that there were threads for this game, I discovered it on Youtube, where the dev posts gameplay videos that very clearly demonstrate the point of the game. I purchased it an played it with the understanding that I was going to be playing a puzzle game, and I also understood the basic structure of the puzzles themselves.
You, my friend, seem to have fallen victim to a myopic point of view - your own.

Here’s a straightforward recipe for classic anise sugar cookies—lightly sweet with that distinctive licorice-like aroma:
Anise Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
2 ¾ cups (345 g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
1 teaspoon anise extract (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon anise extract
Instructions
Preheat oven
Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mix wet ingredients
In a separate large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and slightly thickened. Add oil, anise extract, and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
Combine
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
Shape cookies
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place on the baking sheet, spacing them a few centimeters apart.
Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden but tops remain pale.
Cool
Let cookies cool on a rack.
Optional glaze
Mix powdered sugar, milk, and anise extract until smooth. Drizzle or brush over cooled cookies.
Tips
If you prefer a stronger flavor, increase the anise extract slightly or add a pinch of anise seeds.
These cookies soften over time, so they’re great for making a day ahead.
If you want, I can also give you a traditional Italian version (like anginetti) or a crisper biscotti-style variation.

>>737019037
Your premise was that 4chan was the only avenue by which you could learn about the game and that all information was incredibly vague. I learned about it from Youtube and I don't know how any information about a game could be LESS vague than gameplay. You were simply wrong.

Calm your tits, it was scripted. She deadass walks into the trap if you don’t trigger the cutscene first.
I thought I softlocked too until the journal updated and went “well… that’s one way to do it.”
Game’s basically daring you to fuck up at that point.

This was probably the second or third hardest level for me. Also one of the levels I used an unintended way to beat it, requireing almost frame perfect execution and timing. Went back to it yesterday and found the intended, much more reasonable way to clear the level.
Fireworks was another one I had trouble with and which I originally beat with a janky solution. Went back a day later and found an easier way. Thought that this was probably what the dev intended but then saw an even more easy solution in a Youtube video.

For the longest time I had this memory of one cartoon that was shown during a Christmas children's programming block. It was about some kind of a Christmas fairy(?) that had the ability to pass through solid objects. At some point s/he lost the ability and had to be coached by his/her human friend. Eventually she learned the ability again, and to demonstreate phased through the human's head. This freaked out me a bit and I couldn't get it out of my head (pun intended) for a long time.
Thanks for reading my blog.
