I really dig the vibe of this game! The mish mash of real photos, textured tiles, and bright cartoon characters is a bizarre one, but it somehow works to give the game a unique flair. I was excited to keep playing just to see what weird background or goofy character I came across next. All the music you can listen to adds to the strange yet compelling atmosphere.
Unfortunately the game is quite glitchy and unpolished. A lot of the things in the world that had an interact prompt simply did nothing when I pressed the button. For example, I found 3 different bean converter places, but the machine only worked in one of them. The save system doesn't seem to work right, as every time I left the game most things I collected respawned and I seemed to randomly lose some of the midis I collected. Speaking of leaving the game, I had to do it a couple times because there are some places where you can clip out of the world and get stuck in the void. I ultimately had to give up entirely after one save point sent me to the void whenever I reloaded (it was in the area you get to by blowing up a floor in the deep woods).
Even if it was rough around the edges though, I did genuinely have a great time exploring this wacky world.
Fun little game, there is some issues with frames throwing me back to waypoints, your choice of midis was well random, but it did make me want to go on and find some more. Unfortunately after onion man I found my character was being sent back to what seems like a desert waypoint which inevitably made me quit.
I will be following this just to see how it develops.
Very thx. the game is hella bug for sure, I will try to fix the things in the future.
The choice of the midis are very random because the point is to present an diverse music repertory to the player, they all are from artists and bands that exist in real life, so if you are curious about some song you can discover a new band you would like.
