hey uh. thanks to all you guys for playing HIKEBACK ????? it's absolutely mind-blowing how much attention my silly little game has gotten in just a week ;; 500+ plays and 75+ downloads already god DAMN (not to mention you absolute mad lads who actually paid for it!! what!!!)

every single comment has brought a big, goofy smile to my face... TvT i'm hoping to respond to all your lovely messages within the next few days! additionally, once the voting period for the game jam is over, i'd like to release a new quality-of-life patch that will make the game easier to replay and such. thank you all again for your support and encouragement, and i hope you find the better ending that you're looking for <3

EDIT: in the handful of hours since i've posted this, we've already hit 600+ browser plays and 80+ downloads. holy shit, y'all. you guys are incredible.
