It's an interesting game, I like the narrative of the game. As the random die gets you the different outcome is interesting. When I rolled 6 I thought it must be something great but it turns out the fly instantly dies lol, kinda caught me off guard.

The prose for the redwood tree section of the game was really well done. I also liked the tenseness of the music as well. This game could definitely be an interesting concept to explore further!

Really fun concept and fantastic writing! I kept rolling because I never got a 6, so I went for a few mins trying to get a 6 and I got a fly which died immediately... the rock being the ultimate life form made up for that though. 

Love the concept of this game! I had a lot of fun rolling for different life forms and seeing what I got. My very first creation was myself, a god. Then I made humans and killed them. Then I made a redwood tree and was kind of sad when it died. I like how there's a little story for each of the life forms.

This is really neat, love the music and the color palette you chose. It work surprisingly well with the subject matter

wow I really like the concept of this game. The music also brings it all together

Creating life and killing forever is a excellent ending, which is never ending. it let me think that maybe there is a thing that controls the world never get released. Also I can really feel the loss of emotion when I keep create-kill loop, nice control of player's feeling.

Nooo the bird! I love how the game included a 0 on the 6 dice cube which I found creative. Loved the one with the rock. It just kinda… sits there~

Interesting how the way the game is coded led to it going on infinitely, just the way in the life of god. I wonder what made you choose each life form for each number, my guess is plant, rock (the true god), sea creature, flying creature, bug, human, and god were all selected to cover a wide variety of different types of creatures.

That was... a profoundly disturbing experience. I appreciated the game's choices, the randomness of the dice, and the disturbing dialogue of the universe as it commands a supposedly all-powerful player to make and unmake many lifeforms. The disturbing ambient music made things extra disturbing. The rock option - the ULTIMATE LIFEFORM - was my favorite. I also didn't expect the recursive option where you end up creating yourself.

This game really makes me question life. I wonder why it is that we as "god" have to kill. Maybe this game digs at a deeper idea of life and how it is god who has to make these hard decisions. 

Something I noticed was the unique interactions each roll had with the Kill and Continue commands! I bet a ton of work was put into writing each of those lines and I really appreciate the fact that you didn't re-use lines. Definitely makes for a fresh and replayable experience!

the progression and options are very detailed!!! rock was my favorite, i kept spamming space to see if something secret would happen. meaningful touch that it never ends!!

I also liked that we are stuck in a loop of creation and destruction, like the cycle of life, people and things die and are born every day. In the game world, gods work is never finished and must keep creating new things.

I keep making birds. I don't want to kill them. Please don't make me kill them.

Also the writing is very atmospheric! Love the way the game lowkey demeans you, a living god. Awesome diction

The sound in the game also adds a lot to the atmosphere. You technically don’t have to kill the birds… you can just simply exist.

I really enjoyed the variety of paths in this game! My first roll was the rock, which is apparently an immortal figure, very true to real life. I did think I broke the game at first haha, but once I figured out the other things I could create I did feel very godlike.
