Hi from Feedback Quest 8!
Oh my goodness, where do I even start! This game was an absolute blast to play. I loved the colors, the gameplay, and the personalities of the various characters. I fully admit, the start had me gearing up for emotional damage, but the story of Mini's past is just so sweet and well told that even though I feel pretty sure emotional damage is to come, I was enjoying the ride. It was easy to empathize with the characters so touched by a sweet dog that they wanted her back, even if in digital form.
For the combat, overall, it felt very fluid, and being able to shield with the cuteness of petting your dog is absolutely chef's kiss. That I could pet the dog at all also just had me squeeing with joy!
Overall, the roguelite elements felt pretty balanced to me, though I died a bit more in the areas where there were a lot of enemies. Once I had 50-something cards, I was moving so fast I got a little lost myself, but it was fun! I'll admit, once I got that many cards, I also couldn't keep track of what the effects of them all, but oh man the egg dropping was awesome!
For sure will pick this one up when you release it and already have it wishlist!
