Interesting story. The bar scene / sound effects were really well put together. The art and animations were great as well. Good job!

• Thinks I liked:
  • I liked that you could give your own character a name.
  • Nice artwork and animations!
  • Audio made me feel like i was in a bar.
  • Love the mix of 2D and 3D set pieces.
  • Like how characters in front of you fade in and out the further you get away from you. Solves the issue with things in front of the camera nicely and adds to the feel that you are walking through crowds of people.
  • Love how many options you can get for character dialogue. However when the list is so large half the screen is covered maybe you should trim it down lol!
  • I found the conversations humorous at times. Nice work.
• Things that could be improved:
  • I think you could put controls like "Press space to continue" on the text boxes or in the game itself
  • Mapping keys to escape for a webgl game can make things difficult for those that play in fullscreen.
  • When you advance the dialogue, the game flashes between the game view and the conversation drawings. It makes me feel like im bugging out the game.
  • When i choose dialogue options (like with the snake for instance) it keeps circling back to the same question and giving different responses. Because of that it doesn't really feel like i am having a conversation. Its more like talking to someone that has amnesia.
  • When i talk with "Kat" at one point when i say he can play the keyboard he says "sounds like a plan." Then when i ask the follow-up question of whether he wants to join he says no. Very misleading conversation system.
  • The game ends with a blurry screen of the band playing. would be nice if there was a button to retry or return to the main menu.

Well, that was fun to play.

What did I like:

• First of all the characters starting with the protagonist. One instantly has positive feelings about him, watching how his mates all let him down but he keeps doing his thing. The other characters are all unique and well written with all their backstories. Some of them are super lovely, some are dudes that I would not like to have around me. It's really a success to make players feel like this about characters. Great job!
• The art style and the 3D + Sprites approach. The characters sprites are lovely designed and also showing other guests just as silhouettes is a great move that sells the scene. The stage is always visible so that one always has the goal in mind and the dialogue system used supported the nice text animations too. (I think i remember this. Its a free plugin right? Or have you implemented this yourself?).
• The multiple choice conversations. Some where quite hard at the start. For example the NFT guy was hard to grasp. What kind of answer would a guy like this prefer? It got better after the first 2 answers ^^. In the end I didn't felt like asking him into the band, same for the deer ;). I like how the conversations are used to sell the characters and shape the players opinion about them. Very well executed.

What I want to mention:

• Maybe I just did not realize it but did the choice, who plays what really change the last song?

What can be improved:

• I accidentally made Tony my Guitar guy and I would have loved to correct this afterwards by reassigning him to another instrument. But that's the only thing here I can think of when it comes to further improvement.

The Story was unique and the gameplay was fun.

Thanks for the hard work and props to all of you :)

What a fun concept! The character art was lovely, and getting to meet them all was great. I accidentally asked the NFT bro to play with me instead of Sarah :/ But I did get Tony Macaroni on drums, so I wouldn’t count my run as a total failure lol

I liked the concept and thought you did a great job writing the different characters. The art style was cool and I thought you nailed the ambient sound of the bar. Overall, nice work!
