-stumbles in- Okay, I'm here! I'm going to stop procrastinating (but I'm so good at it XD). I meant to write this a week ago x_x
I really enjoyed the demo! Your UI/GUI was really sweet (I'm not making a pun, I swear) and I think it matched the overall aesthetic of the characters! (I think Pippy is my favorite. I love her happy outlook and her dialogue blip sound!) I also liked all the little lessons sprinkled throughout. I felt like the "take the compliment" lesson called me out XD Nice use of parallax and transitions, too!
!! Spoilers, just in case !!
It's very clear that there's something else brewing underneath. And I'm very curious as to what's going on. I didn't think about it until the demo ending. I saw the glitching of the text and got unsettled... and then closing the game really caught me off guard, too! It just makes me wonder why it's there and what it all means. I think it's a great way to leave an impression on the player when they exit. I'm excited to see what the full game holds!
