Greetings Martin Reimer,

we hope you doing great. I am Areeba Malik (aka Titania) from the BrewOtaku-Team, we are launching our first homebrew gaming magazine soon. We loved your work and we have featured your game "Cursed Crown (2024]” in our very first issue.

Please share your contact details if you would like to have a digital copy of our magazine. As we intend to sell the magazine at a very affordable price, you would need to keep it confidential for you only, of course you would get a free copy.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards

Pretty clever game! However, I have a couple of issues;

  1. The sound effects play FAR too late on browser!
  2. It seems like the difficulty keeps fluctuating; after a rather tough puzzle, for example, one of the levels is literary just walking across some bridges and lily pads...
  3. Did AI make the cover?

Also, here's my time!

Hey, thanks for playing all the way through. The web player isnt something I made so I wont be able to debug it. Have you tried playing in another browser? 

I was going for an "adventure" feel, so at times the player is traveling to areas of the maze. But good feedback. Ill take a look at the levels and consider reorganizing them or maybe adding a cut scene explaining it... I did use AI to create a aspects of the visuals. The cover on the left side is the original generation and then I did alot of modifying in Photoshop. 

Game launch announcement today!!
