Wow what an awesome story! I love how each character is so distinct and their personality just fills up the screen when they're in the scene. The voice acting was the best I've heard! Haha I feel like the Master's VA was channeling Mark Hamill. The framerate issues were a bit tough to deal with, but they didn't seem to affect the voice lines, so I was able to understand the story completely. Awesome job!!

The level of production, everything is so stylized it's easy to be immerse in the world form the word go. I love the idle animations on the characters, the backgrounds and the events in the visual department I would give this  6 stars  out of five 5 if I could. the song at the start is such a bop too! The voice actors sell their characters , but the audio mixing is a little weird some of them are much louder than others. I like the story, except for the origin of the MC, don't think it's necessary, it doesn't really tell us a lot about her, like why she joined, why was she so cocky and lost her limbs, why she hated everyone in her life so much, all of that we could've and do see in the main story, that's minor though. the real big problem I found with the game is the frame rate. Maybe it's just me and my computer but the framerate just dies as the game goes on, ending in an unplayable 2 frames per second. Again this could just be me, and if it is please feel free to disregard what I just said. What I can say is that I wish I could see more of this characters and world to have more time to know them and see them developed I wonder what you and your team could do if you have like 6 more months to work on this.

The animations, the character designs, and the watercolor backgrounds are all fantastic!

I loved the character designs!! Only issues were some lag and audio peaking but they were FAR Outweighed by how much fun I had playing this, it was such a delight! Jackie was my personal fav, I loved their energy! :3

A genuinely fun time!! I really enjoyed playing through this game! Short and sweet! The animation for the characters were so cool! It felt very rubber hose to me and I loved the song at the start of the menu!!! Only issues I had were with the ui stuff, I wasn't sure how to save and load though since the game is pretty short it wasn't much of an issue. I can't wait to play the full thing!!!!!!

Animation! 💖

I'm so glad you submitted your game! I sat here waiting for the jam ratings to open so I could leave this comment. Truly, a gem! This was like watching an animated show with classic cartoon styles. I can see all the pieces of an optimized game and THE ART - I want to serenade you for this art, please let us see all the sprites in their GLORY post-jam. Consider getting rid of the text box layer entirely. Why cover such amazing legs?? 

I know you ran out of time. The game was fighting for its life when Master called to talk about the bottle quest and then voice lines overlapped, VA lines peaked/had audio level issues, and text went to quick to read everything. I don't know in Light VN if it can do auto-play, but this would be a cool feature to have since this is a kinetic story (no choices). I SO HOPE you and the dev team continue working on this!

Hey there.  To qualify for judging you need a downloadable Windows build.  Please try to upload one ASAP and make it visible as part of your submission.
