Hi!
Absolutely no spoilers!! There are only 2 references to MI2 and it’s nothing story related!
Man first of all thank you so much for playing the game!
I agree with everything you say. Reason why the cutscenes are so basic is that I didn't have time to work on extra animations and the game is so short that I wanted to focus more on the gameplay to be as much as bug free and smooth as possible trying to replicate the first Monkey Island layout the best I could. Same for the sound design I made the song in about 30 minutes and the whole sound design is really basic so yes, if it was a whole game I would have put much cure to the sound maybe have a BGM for the shop itself and more "lucasarts" style design!
So I agree with all you said!
Thank you so much for the feedback!!
