I played a bit of Spanky's Quest and was charmed by the cute sprites, upbeat music, and interesting volleyball-like mechanics.

Get well soon!

Oh, it was on that CD! I think there was also a particular, "Oh, no!" exclamation when the player runs into themselves or an obstacle.

hbd, Anodyne! Hope your teen years are smoother than mine were ✨

I like the little pieces of 和紙　 tape

Hehe, thanks for doing that math

Congrats!!! Can't wait to play it!

Thank you, Olivia!

Sure thing!

Forgot to mention - it was fun! I had a good time playing the demo!

The way @danchidays.bsky.social demo presents a perspective of Japanese life feels uniquely free of the exoticization and censorship present in other English-language content. The neighbors and setting present mundane aspects of Japanese life including the challenges of living in community.

I enjoyed the way the demo demonstrated the themes of hope in the face of loss. @danchidays.bsky.social demo offered a vision for the ways push notifications might enrich your relationships with neighbors instead of just fueling an attention economy. Hope for connection instead of loss of focus.
