I love this game but I can't beat it. Thanks for the laughs I loved playing this and reading all the dialogue but the bullet hell segments are hardcore.
Like imagine having a bullet hell segment in the middle of a visual novel? I don't need to imagine it cause I already played it and you already made it. Seriously thought this was pretty tight, thanks.

Hello! Thanks for playing and the comment! Yeah the bullet hell minigame can be pretty brutal especially for people who aren't too familiar with the game. Here's some suggestions!
- Hold SHIFT to go slower during heavier sections of the bullet hell game, that also allows you to see Locke's hitbox better
- Try not to get stuck in the corners of the game! It's hard to escape when that happens and you also end up wasting a lot of time since your bullets then no longer reach the boss.
- Start the Ribbitter case early! I think players on average take 4-5 days on the frog case so you're recommended to accept the case duuring the first week! (Crow case takes on average 2-3 days, but its also possible to finish it in 1)
- When the clones are spawned during the Ribbitter case, try to defeat the ones furthest away from the big boss first! That way you can prevent getting stuck in corners.
- The Ribbitter Case is really what stumps a lot of players, we gave unlimited time for the final route cases so once you can beat the darn frog, the game gets a lot easier!
- If you're sick of watching the same cutscenes over and over again, you can press ENTER to skip them!
I hope this helps!! I completely understand that the game might feel pretty hard though since this was created under a time restraint and we didn't have the time to balance it out (and a big shoutout to DevRanger Red for programming most of the AI in 2-3 days.)
