I think you downplayed the actual quality of the game with that intro by Jade. I wasn't really expecting much because of it, meanwhile the characters all mostly feel different from one another, the story is interesting, decent humor (Though, you did do Ed, Edd and Eddy dirty lol). The inclusion of a native walkthrough mode is a very nice and thoughtful touch too!
The number of references and shout-outs rivals Borderlands, and if that's not saying somethin I dunno what will.
Like many other games, I wish I stumbled upon this game later in its development. Goes without saying but you've got another follower now and I'm very much looking forward to seeing more
