I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.

That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.

I was absolutely entranced.

Dang, you're patient. I played this back on PS3. Does it even have online players anymore? They are an integral part of the experience, IMO.

I had someone with a super long scarf play basically the entire second half of the game with me. So fun to find ways to communicate with just the little pulses we had.

!Also absolutely heartbreaking when wet froze together at the end!<

I also played their other game Flower, on the PS3. Probably the only time I've enjoyed using motion controls on that system.

Fyi Lemmy doesn't do spoilers the way Reddit does. The syntax for spoilers is:

::: spoiler visible spoiler text
Text that's hidden behind a spoiler
:::

::: spoiler visible spoiler text Text that's hidden behind a spoiler :::

Weird, I did format it that way but it doesn't seem to stick on editing

Very strange. What client are you using, out of interest? If it's an app that pivoted from being an old Reddit app into a Lemmy app, it might be an issue worth pointing out to the developer.

I didn't see anyone else, and that does sound like a cool mechanic, but this was perfect for me on its own.

I was very happy to find this community because I can wait decades to play a game.

I've never heard of this game before, but was going through all time best game lists and there journey was on igns, and it sounded too good to not immediately investigate.

That's a shame there aren't any players any more.
I'm a patient gamer, too. I almost never buy games at full price. But I try to strike a balance with online(-ish) games. Some experiences you just can't have once a game with an online aspect isn't popular anymore.

PS3 had more shimmery glittery sand. you can add it back into the game by making the changes mentioned in the alternate method at the bottom of this guide. they messed up the sparkles in the later releases. doesn't hit the same.

There are still players. Much more rare I'm sure. I played maybe 4 months ago and met a few people.

I was playing on Steam maybe 2 months ago and I saw two people in my 4ish hours of playing. They both kinda danced around me for a bit then ran off :(
