Wait is this still unfinished even now? Was it this team that reported to me about how the game might not be finished by the submission deadline? I kinda thought with ten days after the submission deadline your team might have finished it XD

When I saw the cover art and knowing that this is the game whose art  PixiTales drew, I was excited!

Didn't expect the game to be... so goofy

I think there is a huge... HUUUGE mismatch here between PixiTales's art and the rest of the game XD

With that amazing art I kinda expected the game to be somewhat serious :P

Anyway, really enjoyed PixiTales's arts. The story gave me some chuckles too. The game looks unpolished but I think this is a great start!

Lots of bugs, and the bright walls of color kinda messed with my eyes, but I had fun! You even got voicework! I enjoyed the day/night cycle mechanics and whoever worked on the puzzle bit, give me more, please!

got stuck in a wall ... died a few hundred times ... who is speaking ? can you add character names to the dialog ? did one person do all the voices ? What the heck  ?  Story seems good but the gameplay needs some work ... keep on working !

Love the charm and characters design in this one. Also pretty cute voice acting as well. They are a lot of bug however and I feel the tile background is a bit too much on the eyes. I don't quite understand The whole changing from Magical to Normal as I when through the whole game without understand why it there. The Ball ricochet mechanic is neat but with all the bug it far from it best. But, I do really like the charm of the girls, the mascot, and the story! 

So when I first saw this my immediate reaction was "oh, this is the one with the super good art!"

The intro segment was really, really good. I knew it would have amazing art, but I didn't realize it would also have voice acting as well. The writing is pretty good; I especially like that it managed to explain things reasonably well without feeling like a huge infodump. I still have some questions but I think it's better to avoid the risk of overwhelming players with information.

The character sprites do have some weird artifacts. Check your texture import settings- specifically non-power-of-two scaling and texture compression. Default DXT1/DXT5 compression butchers lineart, BC7 ("high quality") is better but I found I had to sometimes use uncompressed textures in my games.

The top-down gameplay was almost a letdown after that. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, it's actually pretty good! The pixel art is nice, and it grew on me as I played, but I still prefer the animesque visual novel that preceded it. I found combat to be kind of janky and I still don't fully understand the day/night mechanic.

Also, one of the backgrounds is eye searing.

Unfortunately it's also really dragged down by bugs and glitches, more so than any of the other games I've played so far. The tilemap has artifacts and the edges sometimes pop in and out of existence, all of which detract from the look. I also haven't been able to complete the game. The first try I think the boss bugged out and disappeared from the game. The second try I ended up outside the map a few rooms in. The intro segment was not free of this either, sometimes repeating lines or flashing a blue screen.

I think if it was less buggy it would be one of my favourites in the jam. It still might be; I do really like it, but it's also a huge downer that I haven't been able to finish a playthrough.

EDIT: I see that an update has been pushed. I'll give it another shot when I get the chance.
