I like it when multiple illustrations use the same colours. Progress go brrrrrr.

If she had those recordable buttons for dogs, one of them would be the "Awwww" button

It would also be the button that gets her button privileges removed cuz she'd spam it every time her ball rolls under the couch (aka constantly)

When dad's dog Poppy loses her ball under the couch he goes "Awwwwwwww" in a hammed up disappointed/sympathetic tone and she whines along with him. It's very funny and cute. πŸ˜‚

I feel like your answers are all locked in to a specific era of your life and those didn't get included cuz they came out after that era :p

I reckon knife and sub work best for diff reasons! Agree with you on the sub bafflement - knife gives you SUCH a sense of hope that the rug pull makes you wanna do another run with a vengeance. πŸ˜‚

I have SUCH strong memories of playing it as a kid, even though I don't often think about it as an adult much

Given that 999 was the one I searched for before the Nonary Games popped up, I'd have to agree. And nothing in VLR quite captured the sense of UTTER BETRAYAL in getting the knife ending at 3am on my first run.
