Recently I had my first comment for R2R... and it brings me joy that they liked it. At the moment, it's only been downloaded ~ 100 times but still, if I created a good time for only one of them that's already worth all the effort that I've put into this product.

I've released two journaling games in the last 6 months but what I've been lacking is user interaction and feedback... Do you like what you see or would you recommend changes?
