<33333 cat, you are a damn visionary, and i must thank you again for inviting me to work on this game <3 not only was it such a blast to work on but also incredibly fun to play!
first off, you and kristi kicked ass with the mini games! the moving sprites was also very creative (love you jordan yeeting into space bug-- nah but i love vanilla moving around and the zoom in and zoom outs!). more visual novels should have that dynamism/blocking and mini games tbh. the transition with the background color changes were also so good.
speaking of the art, rai did such a terrific job with the bgs aaa all the little details!! beanz' designs of the monkeys and the customizable character hair and outfit assets is so adorable and amazing!! ofc, cat, your sprite work is always so majestic to behold! all the little expressions are so cute (vanilla's expressive brows and the sparkles on michael and jordan LOLOL <3) fish's beautiful and bombastic UI tied everything together so adorably aaa (still adore the hearts on the chosen dialogue) and i am ofc excited to see the CGs and more chibis hehe <3
writing wise, i am hyped to see vanilla's and michael's routes (but take y'alls time HAHA) and will update this review when kristi and i play jade's route as well <3 but first!! caaat!! your writing style is very distinctive and fun!! i love how common route played out with mc's dynamics with each character (the very romantic coded tension with vanilla/mc and also the one mc/jade scene where they hug aYO) and ofc the other side ships <33 (thank you for agreeing to my evil plans and letting me help develop them- HAHAHA). but i think you've set a really good groundwork for great multi-love interest VN where each character exists outside of MC and they can be affected by MC's decisions in the other routes (vanilla my sweet girl).
playing through jordan's route was really cool in the sense that i saw everything coming together and your edits also made it more cohesive <3 i love jordan rambling about capitalism and not noticing how he held mc (aaaa my type fr fr) <3 i also like the comparison between jordan and vanilla... tbh it seems that those two are more shy with gap moe while jade and michael are the more outgoing flirty ones. hence why jordan/vanilla and jade/michael do not work out but jade/vanilla, michael/jordan, and michael/vanilla work and in this essay i will-- HAHAHA nah but if anyone's reading this, please ship whatever floats your boat! and tag me because i'm easily convinced /lighthearted HAHA
ANYWAY, everyone go play this amazing game by a super sweet and talented team!! more to come <3
