After testing the game fully, I have to admit it is fantastic! It features a great art style alongside beautiful character designs and areas to explore that left me deeply intrigued! However, it does have a few minor issues:
-
The Floating Action Button: When you’re about to talk to someone, enter a minigame, or do anything that triggers this button, it glitches out quite often. This mostly happens during conversations, where the button starts jittering like crazy. My suggestion is to make the button disappear the exact moment an interaction or conversation begins.
-
An Easy and Buggy Minigame:
- The Match-3 minigame is WAY too easy. This ends up being an issue on its own, as even someone who doesn’t play video games could clear it immediately in just 2 or 3 moves.
- Whether you win or lose, hitting the retry button restarts the match, but the game over/victory text stays on screen the entire time. It should disappear once inside the minigame; otherwise, you can end up stacking and playing over 5 minigames simultaneously just by pressing the button repeatedly. It also glitches due to the “Floating Button” issue I mentioned earlier, creating a domino effect that messes with the gameplay and leaves the button jittering.

Design Flaws:
- Once you take the forward path after leaving the Kindergarten, you can’t go back because a proper exit pathway is missing.
- Occasionally, it gets confusing to tell where you are entering or exiting. It would be great to have some visual cues or signs for better navigation, as the interaction icon isn’t quite enough.
- Adding a brief tutorial or controls mention at the start would be helpful so players don’t have to guess how to talk to NPCs (sometimes icons alone aren’t enough for everyone).
-
Lack of Content: For a version 0.1, this is COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE! However, it would be awesome if characters had more lines in future updates. Giving each character only a single line of dialogue makes it hard to get to know them; a little more dialogue would go a long way.
Ultimately, the game really hooked me with its art style! The character designs make me want to learn more about all of them. If you ever want a proper Spanish translation (either Latin American or European), I’d love to offer my services for free! I specialize in translating indie games, and it could really help non-English speakers enjoy the game comfortably.
A great game with a bright future ahead, without a doubt! ⭐⭐⭐🌟
