Just played the demo of this game and wanted to drop my thoughts. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and the potential this game has. Here's what I liked and some suggestions for improvement:
Likes:
- The art style is fantastic! It's impressive how AI was used to create such visually appealing graphics for the game. Kudos to you!
- The premise of the game is intriguing. The concept of the stopwatch and its possibilities, especially with the hot men in the neighborhood, got me hooked. I'm curious to see how the story unfolds.
- I really dig the top-down perspective. It adds a cool vibe to the gameplay and gives me a nostalgic feel.
Critiques:
- I have to be honest, the turn-based combat didn't resonate well with me. It felt like it interrupted the pacing of the game and was more of a gimmick to increase playtime. I didn't find it particularly enjoyable, especially when I had to exploit the potion bug just to defeat the giant plant enemy. Personally, I would love an option in the full version to skip all enemy encounters since I'm more into visual novels for their art and story.
- Another issue I encountered was the abundance of enemies in the forest without any means to escape them. If you don't plan to add a skip combat option, it would be helpful to have an alternative way to bypass enemies without having to engage in combat.
Overall, the demo showed a lot of promise, and I'm excited to see how the game progresses. Keep up the great work, and I'm looking forward to future updates!
