you get points for mentioning QBasic Gorillas! I've been very saddened by so many ppl confused when I mentioned it as I've been making this. It's a staple of your computer lab! I could imagine no other childhood lol!

played the demo yesterday. Very cool, love the vibe. It's weird too that Fortune-499, which has the same style (color scheme at least) is like a tiny hidden gem. I love that game.

I forgot that match 3 is considered "puzzle game" for a sec when you mentioned Ultra Nothing. Always found that odd.

here's one that's tough to explain!

guess you'll have to be like me and listen to the best actual play podcast @3d6downtheline.com for the explanation!
