just spent 2 hours playing through this... i am so seriously in love with everything about it.
the character designs are so charming and unique and INSPIRED! despite being named after stereotypical RPG roles ("Hero", "Beserker", "Mage"), they feel like anything but. i mean for christ's sake the hero has cat ears and a bell. the knight is a skeleton covered in honey and wears a cute little flower. THE ALCHEMIST IS A FLAME IN A JAR. these sound INSANE but they are just amazingly well-executed and as a budding character designer i was floored. and there are so many of them? and all of them are unique and distinct? it is transcendent.
the gameplay is also wicked fun too. there's a surprising amount of complexity to be drawn from such a simple concept... and i was delighted at how this game is essentially just 4-5 incredibly simple concepts that feed into each other deliciously. so long as you're paying attention, you will always have a solid grasp of what's going on; which is complimented by increasingly fast time limit to press the NO button. it caps out at just the right speed to keep me THOROUGHLY engaged and on my toes the whole time without feeling overwhelming.
mwah! chef's kiss. excellent job to everyone who worked on this! you smashed it out of the park!!!
