https://leowilbur110.itch.io/nekrolithVery nice! Seems pretty fleshed out and solid.
The people coming in and out as they talk is a nice visual touch, and the portraits themselves are very well done. My only notes are:
- Maybe consider some more expressive portraits for different emotions, possibly just changing their faces for more dynamic storytelling.
- Why is it that sometimes the first part of the line is already typed out when changing dialogue boxes? Is it because of a skip button or something?
- What engine are you using? If it's Gamemaker, I can tell you how to get rid of the awkward text wrapping thing.
And here's my game for the feedback trade: https://wasabiiii.itch.io/grass-elemental-demo-demo
Looking forward to this one, it looks really cool!
Thank you for the feedback!
I've been considering different expressions on some of the dialog, might still do that as part of a polish pass in the future.
Yes, I noticed the text wrapping thing too. I'm actually using unity but if the solution is code based it might still work, thank you!
Will check out your game and post today :)!
I checked out your game and I really enjoyed the story and the humor in it. Gave me lots of undertale vibes which I believe might be what you were going for, great job on that. I'm still not entirely sure what the story is about to be honest but I just kinda rolled with it after a bit and still enjoyed the mini-games, the music and the humor.
The opening scene with the song is very cute btw.
The game looks really good, I really like the art!
If you want to show some more expression you could change the portrait for each new sentence (just changing the face not redrawing the entire character). But to be honest I think it's perfect as it is! Your game looks really great keep going!

I checked out your game and here's my feedback:
1) The art style is really cool and minimalistic. I liked the sounds on the title screen and I generally enjoyed the vibe.
2) Great job on the way you've setup the first few levels as a tutorial. Clearly you're setting up the level to practice the mechanics being presented and it felt very intuitive.
3) I really liked the music and wanted to ask you where you found it btw or if you made it yourself. The main loop got a bit repetitive after a bit but its still overall very chill.
4) The character's movement feels a bit too floaty, that could be on purpose but wasn't sure.
5) The camera might zoomed out a bit too much, the characters are cute and I felt I wanted to get a closer look at them.
6) The character's attack needs a bit of work in my opinion, the range is very small and to be perfectly honest I'm not sure what it is that he's throwing at the birds :P. Maybe you meant the range to be small but I found it frustrating how close I had to get to the birds to hit them. Maybe increase the range and make the birds chase the character if you get close?
Still, it was a nice experience. Really motivated me to stop dithering and release a playable vertical slice for my game :P.
Thanks for the feedback!
I made everything myself including the music 😅 sorry if it got annoying I tried my best.
You might be right a bout the zoom I just left as it was in the mobile version... I don't have any plans to update the game but I will defenitely use your feedback for my next projects!
Thank you!
