Nice art and very challenging gameplay!
Really cool that you managed to include voice acting!
I enjoyed the game until I didn't because it became way too hard and with no save/continue checkpoints, unfortunately I won't be coming back to continue my playthrough for a third time. (already had to restart once due to BSOD on my machine)
I read the storyline is supposed to be related to the chain reaction theme but since the game is so difficult, there was no way for me to experience the payoff of the ending.
Some improvement suggestions:
- VA volume is a bit loud compared to Mint and Doki's noises
- Dialogue should have a 2-tap system, where the first button press skips the animation and shows the full text and the second press moves to the next dialogue. I kept accidentally skipping text because I wanted to read faster and pressed a button, as that's how it works in VNs.
- Needs checkpoint saving and a skip dialogue button. During my first playthrough I got to a spot where I wanted to record a video to show you an issue I was having but my computer BSOD'd and I had to restart the whole chapter 1. Painful if you consider the game is hard enough to not want to retry those jumps tens of times again.
- Some camera hotspots don't get properly set after a rewind, turning a regular jump into a blind jump as the target platform goes off-screen.
- Some rewinds placed me in a position that made me fall immediately, instead of placing me back in a safe position. (this is what I wanted to record and got BSOD)
- Too many blind jumps. I've uploaded a recording of my (incomplete) gameplay to YT where I've pointed them out. You can also witness my terrible gaming skills.
Overall, it's a good game that needs some tweaks to be great. Good job, team!
