I thiiiink I'm gonna hold off rating it until the full work comes out, but I really like the start. I can just see the jam limitations coming in, and I'm pretty sure (going off the other games I assume being for classes) this is your first time writing as well? Most of the critiques are things that get solved with more time. The beginning goes on for a bit too long, the sprites disappear after a certain point, etc. Which like, I get it lmao. But there's enough there that I'm excited for the full release. or further release, at least, but you gotta keep making it.
I do want to talk about some of the stuff I liked! Personally I have no qualms with Naro being turned into a dog and being like "this rocks! no further qualms." like yeah dude (gender neutral) good for you. I feel bad for them getting shoved into the death game but they're a league player so like. Not too bad ;> I also love that they're nonbinary, and that grating build up of being misgendered repeatedly lmao. getting Mister'd or Sir'd enough times that you just reach this point of exhaustion. And of course your art rocks. I hope the sprites have emotional variation because I think they're all really charming. can't wait for more
