It might take a while for that though as I would have to redo the layout of some menus to fit it in the main menu or something and also design that menu to access unlocked notes, but definitely something I consider for a future update.

Vikas Pawar Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Jan 30, 2020 193 61 28 Male UX UI Designer Singapore #14 Vikas Pawar, Aug 13, 2024 I'm really enjoying this game! I'm currently on level 36 and have a couple of suggestions. It would be great if I could continue playing without being redirected to the game over screen. Also, the controls are a bit too close together. Aside from that, this is one of the best portrait-mode games I've played in a long time .

It says a lot about your enjoyment of the game that you want to head right back into action after a death. Noted on the feedback. Thank you so much for the kind words!

Each game presents a new chapter in the DERE.EXE mythos taking players on a darkly, fantastical journey at an accessible price point. The games themselves are fun, twisted, enchanting and, sometimes…quite spooky. Another banger from AppSir! DariusGuerrero likes this.
