i always love the stories you tell with these games!! i won't spoil anything, only that this feels like the video game equivalent of a 500-word short story that you finish in a few minutes and that sticks with you for ages. kudos!
It was interesting at first but I feel like I'm missing something. Is there more to this or do I just keep bringing the water? I did it 3 times but nothing changed even when I talked to the guards multiple times.
Also, not sure if there is suppose to be sound or not but I don't hear anything.
Either way it is still good for what it is and I would be interested to see what a larger scale version of it would be.
Bitsy games do not support sound (to my knowledge), so you aren't missing anything there! As for the loop, I see it was unclear; bitsy games automatically restart upon reaching the end. Once you reach the final room nothing new will change about the experience. While you might consider the looping nature a part of the story, you needn't worry about missing anything there either.
If I ever update or expand this little game I'll let you know. I'm glad you enjoyed it for what it is!
It's useful feedback that someone unfamiliar wasn't given enough information to understand! I might update the page later to give some more scaffolding.
If you're interested in playing more little games in this engine (or making some yourself!) I highly recommend starting here: https://ledoux.itch.io/
Ledoux made the engine and has some games that are far more complicated than this one you can try out. He also keeps a collection of other people's games on his page!

Thank you for playing!

OK, then that makes way more sense. Thanks for clarifying.
I don't really know anything about Bitsy so I suppose I was setting myself up for confusion.
