Wow, the vibes of this game are on point! Man, after playing so many adventure games in this Jam that don't understand pacing, it's refreshing to finally see someone that just "gets it".
Love the cinematic feel, the hand drawn characters, and the old point and click monkey island style solving, but with our favorite characters, even the "pause menu". Loved that I can learn some Welsh too, as Chris Broad said in an old interview, "make it educational, make it entertaining" - and this does that in spades.
This delivers what it needs to in the time that it needs to - doesn't overstay it's welcome, and knows what it is. Bravo!
If I had any minor criticisms:
it would be the character switching mechanic, it doesn't seem to always work as fast as I want it to - I understand this is done for the cinematographic photo flash effect, but I feel like a quicker swap mechanic time that's more functional will lead to more fluid and smoother experience.
I also think sometimes the humor relied too much on swearing. I think even without the swearing this ,would still be a fun game, and perhaps appeal to a broader audience, but this is my own personal taste.
but once again, these are minor criticisms, everything else was on point.

oh, that's such a lovely review, thank you so much!!!
i do want to pay attention to the swearing part, i have been told two times already that i put it in the dialogues a bit too much, so maybe i will be more cautuios of it in my future projects. i want for swearing to have an effect, not to be hazbin hotel kind of filler
