Peak Cinema, friend showed this to me on a whim and i didn't get up till i completed it. A little frustrating to find the last bit of cringe but the struggle makes the victory taste so good. One of my favorite games of 2025 no joke. Would try and save Pennywise's relationship again!
Thanks so much!
Funny! Mildly frustrating puzzles (I keep hitting reset, regrouping at checkpoints too early, or going through the same rooms but that’s a me thing) (I don’t like the timed targets either). Trying to manage the caterpillar of club members as I kept collecting more and more was a challenge.
Well made game :) I enjoyed it, though I don’t think I want to finish it.
Totally valid. I saw several playtesters continually accidentally reset or regroup, but I wasn't sure what to do about it with this control scheme. Pico-8 only gives you two buttons 😂
It happens
It’s really impressive what you’ve made! I like the level design :)
A great experience! Your mastery of Pico 8 is a marvel!
Super funny, great puzzles, nice sense of exploration, and a relatable story, what's not to love!
This is lovely, better than most Metroidvanias, and it's free! The final twist blew me away
This was fantastic, I loved how every member of the Loser's Club gets at least one clever puzzle highlighting their abilities. Irreverent, silly, fun.
absolute cinema
So I might've gotten into a softlock...
You're not stuck! This is an intentional puzzle.
I was 3/5ths of the way to filling up the Cringe Jar, but then I entered a screen and encountered a runtime error... How shall I It 2: They/Them now...?!
Which screen was it? Your progress should be mostly saved!
It seems like it was the same screen that someone else reported having issues with, so it appears that the problem's been solved! I 100% cleared the game, and I haven't encountered any other bugs besides that.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for playing!
Great game! Small bug, I think I wasn't supposed to go in this room:
Where was that? I just now uploaded a fixed for an out-of-bounds digging rightwards out of the dirt sac below the toilet nexus.
If you restart the cartridge, the save system should have kept almost all your progress!
That's where it was, thanks!
