Heyo! Rating time!
Overall: 2 - Hrmmm, it's hard haha, I hate giving a low rating, but ultimately this wasn't a super enjoyable experience for me for reasons I'll get into shortly.

Gameplay: 2 - There was a lot of game to play here which is more than could be said for many entries! That said, the combat was pretty spongey and slow and for most of the fights there wasn't a ton of strategy for me to get into. The minigames were also a little rough, though not the worst thing ever.

Music: 4 - The music was neat! I believe KV did these remixes of Theme6, and I think the recursion is really cool! It's also just well done in general. I will nitpick and say some of the chord progressions felt unsatisfying and weak, but this is still much better and more effort than most people put into their entries.

Story: 1 - Unfortunately, the story has a lot of issues. I originally planned on giving a 2: not great, but harmless. On further thought though, I feel that the pacing is really off. Going back and forth between Harold and his friends felt arbitrary and like it wasn't leading towards much, and the narration really hurt the vibes (being told "meanwhile" every time the camera cuts away grinds all momentum to a halt every time)

Graphics: 2 - Now, the art here is actually good! Specifically the bust art, I think it looks good. However, the assets all clash a ton. There are like 5 different art styles here and none of them match each other. The worst instance was definitely the UI covering up the enemy HP bar during the Behemoth fight too.

Comedy: 3 - Admittedly, I didn't love the comedy here, but while playing we did get a chuckle here and there out of the dialogue in spite of it. Harold irritated me a lot as a character, but regardless he occasionally landed a hit.

So yeah, unfortunately it's not my favourite entry. I think this jam largely has the problem of just being a lot of adequately executed elements that don't match together. No single part of this game is *terrible*, but all of it combined leads to a mixture that isn't quite right.

Yes, the entire soundtrack was done by me! I'm glad you liked my work overall, and I will continue to improve my process.
