Super fun and creative! The skateboarding and raft mechanics were definite highlights for me. The bosses were hard but generally felt fair, with the exception being the circular one since the shockwaves are spaced really awkwardly for the roll length. In general the most frustrating parts for me were trying to roll across obstacles - maybe I just suck but I spent a lot of time falling off edges lol. I know it's a demo but a more detailed map would have definitely helped me know where I hadn't been yet, I ended up doing a lot of backtracking and walking in circles.
A few minor notes:
- The characters are cute but all look pretty similar
- The seamless music transitions were really cool!
- I love being able to access the boss in the well almost immediately, I wasn't able to beat it until I had a bunch more hearts and the megaphone but it's cool that if you're good you could get its reward early
- Make it more noticeable when you get hit? Especially at the beginning I wasn't noticing when I was losing health...
- Being able to walk/roll diagonally would make the combat less frustrating
- I somehow walked right past the skateboard and spent way too long in that area trying to figure out where to go before backtracking and eventually finding it. Again maybe I'm just dumb lol but could it be easier to spot?
Overall this game is super cute and fun with creative items and an awesome interconnected map!
