deCombys rated Spiked Heart

deCombys rated a game 7 years ago
A browser game made in HTML5.

I did two tries and it was pretty fun but after getting only one event wrong with my chosen character the second time I still got the bad ending. That's not how dating sim/visual novels work, normally, you're supposed to have a margin of error. It's too tedious like that, so I won't be trying again, unless it is changed. If it was, I'd give it 3 stars. If there was a function to skip only the text I've seen in my previous tries, I'd give it 4 stars. As it is now, it's a shame but the mechanics kinda get in the way. The rest is fine, the story, the style and all. Although if the art got a bit more work I'd give it its fifth star. The style is neat, but it doesn't seem totally mastered yet. Good potential but needs some polishing.

P.S.: Sorry if I seem harsh, I honestly wrote this only because I saw potential and I'd genuinely love to see a polished product. The concept is great, the stylistic ideas too, it's fun and creative. It'd really be out there if some of the issues that get in the way of a smooth gameplay were addressed, and the art a little more consistent. Keep it up, dev.
