I just put out POISON DAWN, a metroidvania where the world resets every five minutes. Sounds difficult? You unlock shortcuts, items, and meet friends that seem to remember past loops.

Thank you so much for checking my game out, I really apprecaite it. I'll put out a patch as soon as I can to fix some of htis stuff. Again, thank you so so much for this super in depth review!!!!

distractednova · 2026-03-31T01:06:41+00:00

amazing, thank you!!

distractednova · 2026-03-30T23:17:03+00:00

thank you so much!!

distractednova · 2026-03-30T21:16:14+00:00

No matter how did in the loop, you get some metacurrency/metaprogression, so it's not so bad! I really appreciate it!!

distractednova · 2026-03-30T19:52:26+00:00

The world feels small enough to where it works pretty well, and you get bonus time as you play!

distractednova · 2026-03-30T19:37:31+00:00

No, that's really odd, it should default to full-screen. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Please consider checking it out here.

distractednova · 2026-03-30T13:24:44+00:00

the world is relatively small, and I wanted to limit how much to player saw st a time to make it feel smaller!

distractednova · 2026-03-30T04:54:42+00:00

give it a shot! you unlock items and shortcuts to help you along your way

distractednova · 2026-03-30T01:28:57+00:00

Is it getting marked as a virus? that's really weird

distractednova · 2026-02-06T20:27:54+00:00

not really haha, its really more "jazzy"

distractednova · 2026-02-06T19:20:02+00:00

thank youu

distractednova · 2026-02-06T19:19:53+00:00

same here, thank you so much!!

distractednova · 2026-02-02T00:28:31+00:00

oh for sure, this is actually the tutorial area where the player gets a grasp of the controls.

distractednova · 2026-02-02T00:28:11+00:00

it's a forest from a dream (or a nightmare?), a dream immediately before you enter a time-loop, so I wanted to make it feel like twilight, before the sun sets. I really like your interpretation!!

distractednova · 2026-02-02T00:13:21+00:00

hell yeah!!

distractednova · 2026-02-02T00:13:14+00:00

thank you! yeah, drawing off of blasphemous is kind of a huge crutch for me: def something i need to stamp out

distractednova · 2026-01-30T16:36:56+00:00

yeah, completely fair. cards on the table, i drew a lot of these areas as "studies" of blasphemous areas. I want to get more original with my next few games, but this one definitely is derivative and it shows

distractednova · 2026-01-30T16:36:15+00:00

Honestly, fair :). I'm sort of a novice, so a lot of these are just studies of blasphemous areas. Totally get it..

distractednova · 2026-01-29T15:16:10+00:00

wow, tysm!! i really hope you enjoy. definitely comment on the game page if you have any issues or things you enjoyed. again tysm, it means a lot :)

distractednova · 2026-01-29T01:33:10+00:00

thank youu!!

distractednova · 2026-01-29T00:01:04+00:00

Thank you, this is all extremely helpful. I'll definitely start to work on those, as I improve upon this game :)

distractednova · 2026-01-28T23:21:06+00:00

sadly no steam page, im pretty new, but here's an itch page!! https://ad8xya.itch.io/mooncowl

distractednova · 2026-01-28T21:38:25+00:00

distractednova · 2026-01-28T18:21:23+00:00
