Absolutely fun game! From the game & the art (graphics, music, the characters, writing for an arcade), it is simply an amazing game for a game jam. I’m speechless. Really a lot of care and love is on display. So good I played it twice (just to 1CC.)
Thank you for an amazing game.
I did a playthrough. It also has no commentary (for pure game audio enjoyers).
Again, amazing game and good luck on your future endeavors!Haha, you’re welcome. Hopefully you don’t go supernova about it.
Welp, as soon as you made the extended version.... I did a follow up as a bonus of a new playthrough I made (and still fully reread it anyways.)
It starts on 46:58. (Also if I said anything else that I think I kind of said it wrong/misremembered, uh sorry about that, unless there isn’t,then nevermind.)Overall, the Extended Version, is miles better than the jam version. I do like the new added music, and still having the motifs in it, as well as the new CGs, Star’s portraits, and the menu upon getting all the endings. It is a vast improvement. Well done! I did also read the notes of the extended version, and I guess I enjoyed reading it as well and understand better. (Forget-Me-Not tho has been stuck in my mind ever since Deemo.)
Welp, that’s all for my follow up, and good luck on your future endeavors.
Well, it’s a sad/grieving vn. I do like the art. It is really cool. The music choice is nice. It reminds me a bit of Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. As for how this micro vn goes, I do like the choices, the writing/characterization of Clarissa and the endings associated with it/the path they take, alongside with the symbolic titles they get from those choices. Overall, again, it’s a really cool micro vn. I will do check the other related VNs in the future! And good luck on your future endeavors!
I enjoyed reading it! I think most have been said by the other commenter at this point, but yeah. Limited color usage on this one is really cool. The art is really good! Expressive characters, as well as really nice characterization/writing (Noel’s obsessiveness, and Bianca’s analytical behavior.) Kind of predicted they like have the same thing. Regardless of that I enjoyed it. You’re doing good. Another good one. Good luck on your future endeavors!
For remembering one of the bugs caused by inputting the special objects, I think it's the cat caused it. I already place an object before then when I placed the final one at the party, it didn't trigger, until I replaced the object, and yeah it suddenly works. I tried on reloading before just to make sure there's no other weird shenanigans, and tried to input multiple things in the party, and yeah it still didn't work, likely the cat one has issues. That's one, tho unsure if there are any other situations that can cause the same issue.
Played this game today, and unfortunately gave up after one ending, as for some unknown reason, there are times placing all special objects doesn't trigger the ending in some specific order. I had like 2 already correct ones, and hoping to get a certain ending, but when I placed the last one specifically in the party, the ending didn't trigger, until I have to replace the correct one with a wrong one again and place another object in the party, and suddenly now it worked and basically got a different one instead. Again unsure how each of the ending works but yeah, until the special objects are bugged, I have to wait for a better version atm.
Still it's an interesting game. I do like what's going on in this game and the art as always. I think my least favorite one is the neighbourhood since it felt like you can just go check one house and have all encounters already there in one go... Unless each house has like a unique npc that you can encounter at random chance, which is something to mind in the future update to make the neighborhood more interesting, maybe a random cameo or something else. Also this is random but I'm unsure anyway if this is possible (I have no ideas how plugins work), but would be nice if there's a way to like disable screen filters.
Still interesting game, and would likely wait for a downloadable version for now. Would consider playing this again on a future update.
Well, the other commenter already said most of the things I want to say. But yeah, this is a really neat melancholy. Again really nice art and writing, and I do like the opposites of the characters as well.
welp I guess the other commenter said what I want to said, but yeah had the mutual feel to it. It’s sad/melacholic but also I guess really nice. Well, hopefully in the one ending, they get reincarnated into something better. But what if it’s a to- ok enough.
Very fun till the end of everything in this game! I had a blast playing it.
(also did a playthrough of it, whether me suddenly not speaking at latter (below this comment), because focus, or just pure game audio. [starts at 22:34])
(also has no commentary. also this should have been posted like days ago, but something depressing happened, so I’m sorry if it’s only now.)
Just like the other game of yours I have played, it’s also a very fun one, and at least this time it’s like only actual 2 deaths. I do like the idea being able to cook in checkpoints and like gain more HP again. There are some typos, but it’s a game jam game so I can understand.
Still a very fun one!
Umm issues on my end playing the game:
I caught the same error before by someone again on the current version on the same spoiler. when you select the other option.
Also throughout the whole game, it might be only me, but the game heavily lags. I dunno during like dialogues it goes back to 60 fps, but when it goes to playing the game, the fps dips into 10-15fps, and even further on first area, dips into 3-8 fps. Might something to do with the plugins (tho possibly my laptop has like outdated specs as well.)
Still interesting game, can’t wait to play it another time it gets released.
(also has no commentary. Your game starts at 32:30.)
I really like this game. It’s a great game, and if this is your actual first game, it’s even more amazing for a first game. I love the characters, their characterization, and especially during the ending/choose a route sections. It really shows you made this game with care and love. Also the art, it’s instant chef’s kiss for me. 10/10. Also the bonus content is pretty good, and made me more interested of this game’s world. Good luck for you future endeavors, and again, amazing game!
(Sorry if this took me a while to comment, as the video is already posted a while ago, as I’m also doing ArtFight atm.)
A straightforward traditional YNFG. It has some cool worlds especially the mansion one (and I did get to see top of the mansion event as in one of the screenshots, I’m unsure if that’s RNG or has certain conditions.) I guess the kind of convention/food court as well is one of my favorites.
A really cool and short traditional YNFG. It’s an interesting concept for effects and as well as using the wand as well. Also, love the hedge maze. I also recently played your other game and it reminds me that also has one.
Still, not bad! Truly a rain summoner.
Wow, this is an extremely amazing game. The pixel arts and the soundtrack/chiptunes are amazingly well done with lots of love! Both sections of the game are fun; and difficult for the shmup section (the main focus) (had a number of skill issue happened on latter parts of the game); and really cozy on the town section with some stories and nice and cute characters to discover as well. I had really tons of fun playing the game!
Welp, I made a playthrough of this game (it also has no commentary as well.)
Really nice short game, and definitely has some fine dining vibes and etiquette! Endings are straightforward, tho there are some funny ones. As for the 9 ending, I think the more better statement for it will be 4 endings, with 3 of them having 2-3 variants. Also very cool art, and I also like the animation it has a bit, especially during the restaurant ones. It kind of reminds of pkmn bw sprites a bit on the vn sections. So that at least, is the chef’s kiss for me in this game. Music choices I guess are also nice. Overall not a bad short game. Keep up the good work, and good luck for future endeavors.
It’s a fun collect and survive thing type of horror. I realize it kind of late anyways, but uh yeah. Unfortunately in just sometime, I dunno what I was supposed to look for, so I looked a bit somewhere else to make sure I know what I need to get, and yeah. It’s also nice that it is random at times about the notes, and all of the chasers have different behaviors (and also have a bit of lore behind them). I guess for the one that you have to walk I got at least a hint until like I showed the note.
Overall, a solid experience.
As always with your games, it’s really cool! I do love the number of references and parodies it has, and also really fun short action platformer. Also the Wilhelm scream, pretty cool!
A straightforward and easy to understand situation, but also really sad visual novel. I had a rollercoaster on the story, and on Lily as well. As always, really amazing art, and as well the visuals/bgs, and the color tones as well.
Overall, a sorrowful anomaly hunting, that you will feel bad as well, and she certainly deserves a better life.
(also has no commentary.)
Pretty fun and really cool game! I love the art of this game, and everything in it! I do have some number issues on the game. There are times where the eye just suddenly appear despite not doing anything, and you still have to block attacks. Rare occasion of the notes disappearing for the whole game even on save, and fleeing/doing anything/restating the game doesn’t do the job, and the only solution is to just normally win a random encounter by just attacking. I guess the last issue imo, is like if you end up starting on the egg first, there’s little amount of white notes. As much I like the nature of this game to be able to start anywhere, I think the egg boss makes you end up like you have to unfortunately to do another boss for now. It’s not impossible, but due to the nature of like you have to get the office one first, it becomes a fight of like you have to wait for the part that has white notes first if you don’t have it. I think one final issue I have is like the fleeing. I think 3 times to flee a single encounter makes fleeing kind of useless, probably on angels it has more use, but if you have at least one of the artifacts/tools, it’s best to just fight them at this point. I think it will be more useful, if you already, something like defeated one enemy at least one time, and just fleeing will be much better, or like only 2 times to do it, the second time you select it, you just escape. I’m unsure if it’s possible to have that in this engine/there’s already a plugin that can do that, but just some suggestions, especially I’m unsure if you’re still going to work on it in the same engine.
Issues aside, this is an amazing and really peak. I hope to see some of the later part/s of this game soon and good luck with your future endeavors!
EDIT of Same Day: I also realized you were also the dev of the other game I played, but never commented, which is Knightsong. (I’m sorry in advance if I never commented there. I’m really anxious as of late, and uh yeah. I did also enjoyed that game as well.)
Still, a very wonderful game and experience as well. Likely one of the best ones I played this year. All of the art you created (including the characters, the stories, music, extras, everything) is such a wonderfully crafted things to convey the struggle as a creator. And I can relate a lot to this game. I think most have been said at this point.
Again, thank you so much!
this is such a really cool game. cool and amazing art, cool characters both npcs and playable ones as well. storywise is straightforward. for the cw issues, I think it’s still deep, especially during further in the good route and full/entirety of bad route, and I think it handled well. It reminds me of ISAT, in a good way and without time looping at least, but yeah I feel bad for what happened to most of the stars in this world.
Overall, it’s a really hidden gem, and I think this deserves more recognition.
not gonna lie, this game is really good! there are certain levels of back and forth that are real good, especially the actual final level (the one before finale), that one took me a while to figure out until actually learning the yin yang of back and forthing, tho there are some that are questionable. (which are mostly found in the 1-x), but again understandable for like what level to make, I guess somehow gotta balance it.
Certainly an enjoyable eeriely bizarre wakaranai experience of a game that wasn’t made for me. Tho, I guess I can say I can somehow relate in this game’s situation.
Very fun game! Art is very pretty I will not lie on that, and the difficulty is just right.
Again, pretty cool!
You’re welcome, and thanks, tho I had to use save editor, for the other ending, but at least showcasing the other choices that can allow you to see those first before I do it, since I cannot do the chase (this part alone I will kid not, took like 14+ minutes) and typing segment again, unless those parts get better in post-jam update. (and I was thanking god I found out that I can still trigger, and not just if you enter this segment with already amount of points.) Again, I apologize if I had to do that. Still I will admit, it had the right difficulty, almost, kind of felt like some of the latter rpg maker games that had random qte, it’s just certain parts felt brutal and single mistake and it’s over, unless the tps of a person is insane, which there are some.
(also has no commentary. One thing to note I played the old version, as I noticed there’s a new update now, and I’m unsure if some of the issues I mentioned as well in the description of the video/mentioned a bit here, but summarize)
Pretty amazing game, even for a game jam! I like the art, the characters, the story/worldbuilding/lore in this world! Sound design is also pretty amazing as well, can give you spooks at times while exploring/investigating. It’s also challenging, but I guess fitting for trying to repent and/or atone a grave sin.... tho I do have some issues relating on it. I guess I will say the chase segment is really cool, tho it lagged, at least not hard, but still enough to like run over to eyeballs at times, misinputs/failed jumps, and even jump out of bounds. I think the typing section can be brutal at times, especially the last one. I think the arrows segment can be replace with words that are random instead, so at least the player can prepare more, and especially with some of them just like after the end of the fixed words, which of course happened to me at times, and unprepared.
Regardless of the issues, I had fun.
Kudos, keep up the good work, and good luck for future endeavors!
