I enjoyed this game! I loved the stye and story. This feel like the start of a full length game. I would love to see this fleshed out or continued. I want to learn more of this world and characters! I also want to see the girl's magical powers in action. Did she get the water element or something? Honestly, I'm surprised she didn't try to befriend the final boss. Maybe that could be a option for her in the future.
I'll give my full thoughts once I finish the snes challenge. For now, I'll just report some bugs:
Big # 1:
This is probably the most major bug in the whole game. If you return to the school after beating the turtle, it would respond you back inside the school. And since you already beat the turtle, you are pretty much stuck in there with no way out. A simple fix to this is change the transfer event location to the front of the school.
Bug # 2:
You can walk into the void at the swimming pool. Unless you plan on hiding a Easter egg in the darkness, this was probably not intended. I simple fix to this is to either set up some invisible walls, or change the tile priority from O to X on the tilesets tab on the database.
And that's it! Overall, good game! The battle system is well balanced and it feels pretty full for a month's worth of dev time. My only cratiqe would be that I want more content despite it being a complete package. That's a sign of a good game!
