All that glitters., September 11, 2026

I really enjoyed this entry. This is a swiftly moving, unusual game for IFComp.

It is a well made, stylised retelling of the King Midas story where everything marches inevitably on as your touch gilds everything you come in contact with. The way the soundscape changes as you progress through the actions is great.

I'm not sure if the platform it's made on allows it, but I think it might have been interesting to have the ability to (Spoiler - click to show)reconsider what to do when there is one final square left. Commit. Or similar to the mythology, beg for the "gift" to be reversed so there could be two different endings.

That was just a little thought though. This was something fun and different to have entered this year.
