Just heard about this on the Hello Playdate Podcast and it looks like the PDX foldername contains a colon and the side loader doesn't like that, so I unzipped the zip. renamed without the colon, re-zipped, and that seemed to work. Now to play it! :)
I kind of skim-listen to that podcast, but IIRC, in a recent ep, they talked a little bit about your original game and how this version is less depressing (or something along those lines). Anyway, I sideloaded it and it's waiting for me to stop working so I can try it out. :)
Really enjoyed the writing and overall message of this game. I was hoping you'd have the original still posted to Itch so I could see the differences (I saw you scaled back on how depressing it was). I love games that pick at existential dread and I can estimate on how the original would have went.
Loved the character animation and the world -- although returning to the crystals kinda sucked to do but I could see it fitting the theme and it did add an element of slow burn buildup.
Hey hey, thanks for playing! The original isn't really a fun game lol. I made it when I was figuring some stuff out about what I wanted my life to be, and how to find meaning. I never put it on itch, but it is up on my website :D http://rummagesale.net/games/ygd.html Thanks again so much for playing!!! Seeing someone else play through one of my projects is kinda mind blowing.

Wow, I didn't know they mentioned it! Thanks for letting me know, I'll get that fixed when I get home!

Thanks for making this!
