I haven’t been able to sit down long enough to fully beat it, but I played the first 3 concerts twice, and a few past on my latest run. I like it! The style is cohesive and strange, and the music fits and is fun! I tried to read every dialogue option I found, the writing and world are fantastic and I love the gags 🏠 I mostly have small stuff, I can see a lot of potential.
The tutorial was good, though I think the management features could be split up. Maybe the first guy is hungry and the rest of the group need a nap?
It would be nice if feeding band members was more streamlined since it’s such a common task. Being able to swap between them with hotkeys/icons on the sides screen might reduce the number of clicks. I’m now realizing how ironic saying that is, considering my game.
Anyway I think allowing the player to drag food icons onto the boys to feed them would help, I don’t need to see the nutritional information unless it’s a food item I rarely use and having the nice grid of items so close to the boy makes it convenient.
The bus is fun (I liked how one of them messed with it) but I’m not sure what the zoomable camera adds. I zoomed out fully and angled it down and it gave fun overcooked vibes, if you chose to do that it might give some room to play with level design in the overworld. Also spacebar to park the bus would be nice.
Really great work, I’m excited to play more (especially when there’s a save system 😉)
