Hey this is really nice! 

I enjoyed the surreal vibes and relaxing atmosphere and overall it just felt super chill. 

It does seem like the visuals could be more cohesive to establish that sense of atmosphere.  In the future having the UI and sprite design match the background graphics a bit more would be nice, but I get the game isn't exactly complete this is really more of a polish thing for later!

What stood out to me was the smoothness of the transitions and animations. Like that whole intro scene leading to the room/island was very cool. Also the value bars are beautifully animated... like wow. 

I feel like your implementation of the theme is definitely there, although it isn't the most unique idea, you definitely fleshed it out and implemented it well!

I would have loved to see the dialogue system be more interactive/animated as well. With such a colorful environment the dialogue boxes felt a bit bland and out of place and I feel like I got visually tired of clicking through it. 

Ok but story/content wise, I absolutely enjoyed your writing and the humor was very much on point. That secret ending though ...

Thanks for the extensive feedback, especially on the game feel. I get the impression we have a somewhat similar approach to game making, where the gameplay has to stem from an idea / narrative rather than the other way around. I focused way too much on that for my last jam and my game was pretty frustrating to play lol so for this one having a good game flow and feel instead of a potentially interesting idea was a priority (especially considering the base loop, clicking and looking at stuff, isn't especially riveting). Glad to see it paid off :)

It's also cool you brought up the UI because I never had any remarks about it, but I can see how personalizing it has a lot of potential added value.

Do you have anything I can use to reach out to you? Itch doesn't have private messages and I don't think I've seen you on the BTP Discord
