Very nicely done animated cutscenes! Definitely my favorite part of the game.
The corrupted mascots as enemies were really well done and the dungeon atmosphere was great too!
I liked the attack combos you could do instead of just having only one attack animation over and over. Good job.
Some improvement suggestions:
- Text in dialogue boxes. Consider a 2 step approach to the button press when showing texts. First press to display the text in its entirety and second press to continue to the next text. Currently it just skips even if the text wasn't fully displayed and you end up missing it.
- Tutorial chapter 2. I swear I only found Chapter 1 and Chapter 3... was there a Chapter 2 somewhere I missed?
- Text spelling. If it was only once or twice I wouldn't have mentioned it, but there were mistakes in almost all texts and it distracted me from immersing myself in the game.
- Attack direction. I was expecting my attacks to go in the way the camera was facing, but instead they followed ERB's facing direction. This wouldn't be an issue if turning was instantaneous but since turning speed is relatively slow, it doesn't allow for changing attack direction quickly during combat. Alternatively, a lock-on feature would help to keep attacks from going off-target.
- Enemy AI. I imagine there wasn't enough time to flesh out a proper enemy AI during the 2 weeks of the jam. I noticed the enemies stopped following me after some time and just stood there idling. We took some nice selfies! I tried to do a pacifist run without killing any enemies at first, but since the last room can only be accessed after killing all of them, it was not possible. :(
- Some enemy attacks healed me? Not sure if that was intended or maybe some kind of bug with the health system.
- Add the "hololive" tag to your game page for improved visibility!
Great work!
