This was a very fun entry and really perfected the beyond expectations theme with the dodging gameplay with a ton of cool twists! Also lots of very random scenes that I find very funny and charming lmao, I guess they do indeed go beyond expectations with that! xD <3 The pixel arts used are really adorable and I love how they blend well together with the battle UIs and stuff.
Some feedback, I do think the pixelated "busts" stand out weirdly on the scenes xD I would rather have the busts be an actual custom portrait art, or if you cant have that, then just use the pixel sprites as facesets on the dialogue boxes.
But overall, a really cute and fun entry that definitely holds the beyond expectations title very dearly without trying too hard! xD <3 Great job Waldorf!
