This was so cute!! This gave me all the right fuzzies! Enormous congrats on finishing your game! I really appreciate that you wrote platonic options in for all our aroace friends. I'm also a hopeless lover of slow burns so waiting a little bit before doing anything romantic really made it all even sweeter for me. Thank you thank you~!
First of all, I would like to say I respect that you went above the expectations of a free project and gave some movement to the character sprites. I know that it takes quite a bit of time to make sure everything looks good and works correctly. Please do tell if you ever plan to make another short free game on the Undertale multiverse, I would be thrilled to help! :)
*Spoilers Below!*
I found your Papyrus to be very endearing. He literally made my day. His sparkly eyes are TOO CUTE. I also love how his cheekbone are so tiny and so high on his face. The sprite looks so adorable, it isn't fair! I couldn't stop giggling at his antics, and how sweet and supportive he is after figuring out that you like Sans. All while being totally serious about his work. Truly, the COOLEST cinnabun, Sans is totally right.
Also, the whole thing with Undine made me laugh way too much. Especially went she started shouting her intent to win the sparring session. That's an in-character Undine moment if I ever saw one. Might I add I was *really* worried about hurting Undine so my first reaction was to immediately pet her? She looked so confused and sorta disappointed? But I felt kind of proud? It was the oddest sparring match ever in my head, I swear hahaha!
And Alphys omg, the whole "I ship it thing" had me bending over. There's only so much air in my lungs hahaha! I can't. I mean, it's not the first time I see someone writing her saying that, but the whole scene is pretty well delivered by all characters involved.
I guess my one critic is that Mettaton felt... Underrepresented? I guess he could have a little more screen time. He has an overly dramatic public persona, but sometimes he shows how nice he can be. I wonder what kind of input he would have given on dating... Probably something over the board involving drama, action, guns... And roses. Tons of roses and glitter. Maybe the equivalent of rescuing the poor "damsel in distress" just... So much more extra. I would be ecstatic at attempting it just for the ridiculousness of it all. And to see Sans' face (noimnotsorrySans).
Anyway, I'll be sure to post here if I find any videos on your game. I don't think I can bring myself to reset after getting the Best Ending, so I guess I will wait. I could never go through with finishing Genocide in the original game so I'll watch the other endings with the help of other people. I even tried some AU games but I can't bring myself to kill anyone. Heh. Me and my marshmallow heart, I'm definitely Kindness, I swear... Probably some Patience mixed in too.
I'll be definitely recommending this to other fans. My one complaint is that I want moooaar. Hahahaha. Congrats again!
PS: I would like to use your sparkly-eyed Papyrus as my Discord image for awhile. I hope that's okay. :)
PPS: Can I just say that hearing "... Come here often?" from Sans just melts my heart? I feel that flirting is one of those things that is so rare to see him doing without quite joking, even for people that know him for very a long time. I don't know. It's so simple but it feels special.
PPPS...?: Can I be greedy and kindly ask for a gallery mode? I just want to be able to re-read certain key moments without having to reset the game. 'w'
