Ok, thank you so much for the suggestions. Could you please tell me your thoughts on the story in general? Whether you think the story and the characters are actually interesting. If you are not able to, that's fine, too.
I think the story has a solid shape. It's not hard to relate to the pressure to perform and it's nice and light which is good for a game jam where in my experience people will not want to try to keep track of a big cast of character or specific story points.
To me the characters are not the draw of a story like this, it's that you can put yourself in the main characters shoes (ballet slippers in this case🩰) which is why nice, strategic audiovisuals amplify the plain text story to feel more real!
