Overall, solid 0.1 release! I am interested to see more of the story and to see more quests in future updates.
My primary feedback is around the UI:
- it is not clear when certain locations are available to visit. Specifically, the office seems to be unavailable until the afternoon. Same for the store.
- In the Daily Work minigame, spots/gems that have been clicked are slightly faded, giving the impression that they can no longer be interacted with.
- having a first-time instruction for how this minigame works would be helpful for people who are not familiar with this type of matching game, or to clarify when to 'stop' working, or if there is any benefit to continuing to play beyond the first purchase.
- The shopping UI is a little clunky. Many of the elements seem to overlap each other or require scrolling to see in full. It may help to shrink the items or even lay them out in a grid so that the player can minimize scrolling. Use the preview on the left as-is to show what the full-size item looks like.
- there does seem to be a layering issue here as well. the first clothing item you try on gets set to the bottom layer, which can lead to some odd overlapping between the shirts and pants.
- One of the current quests says that you need to be wearing 2 pieces of "cute clothing" to meet Aldo at the bar, but there is no indicator of what counts as "cute"
Will the player eventually be able to look at their phone outside of the quests?
I'm looking forward to seeing future content and updates!
