  • Engaging and fun gameplay with unique bullet hell mechanics involving party positioning, offering a fresh take on mechanics from games like Deltarune and Undertale.
  • Strong character-driven story and humor that provides laughs and emotional moments, with good worldbuilding and lore.
  • Good overall charm and vibe, with enjoyable music and references appealing to fans of similar indie RPGs.
  • Game feels rough around the edges with some jankiness, bugs (especially with UI and controls), and occasional misspellings.
  • Gameplay can be confusing or unbalanced at times, including large or inconsistent hitboxes in battles and lack of challenging fights in early parts.
  • Highly derivative of Deltarune, with many mechanics and characters feeling like direct copies, resulting in a lack of originality and a somewhat rushed or empty game world.

  • music

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The music in the game is fitting and reminiscent of styles seen in titles like Deltarune, enhancing the attack mechanics, though some users find the limited, public domain tracks occasionally unfitting and giving an amateur RPG Maker feel. While the soundtrack is praised for its emotional impact and vibe, certain choices may clash with the pixel art aesthetic.

    • “And the way you attack too, it's like the music minigame in Deltarune Chapter 3 with the way the attack falls.”
    • “Music is fantastic; however, some choices might not fit the pixel art aesthetic in my opinion.”
    • “The music and general vibe is also amazing.”
    • “I understand the use of public domain music, but the small amount of music used was strangely unfitting for the situations they were used in, giving the game a 'first RPG on RPG Maker'-esque vibe.”
    • “I understand the use of public domain music, but the small amount of music used was strangely unfitting for the situations they were used in, giving the game a 'first RPG on RPG Maker'-esque vibe.”
    • “The music isn't perfect but it's fitting.”

Some minor issues like occasional misspellings are present but do not detract from the overall experience.

    • “The story is quite nice and easy to follow.”
    • “There's still the occasional misspelling but all the game's elements get much better further in: its humor, its gameplay, its charm, its story, and its characters; it just takes some time.”
    • “You can also choose to spare or kill everyone with unique dialogue and story changes.”

  • humor

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

Overall, players find the humor enjoyable and a positive aspect of the experience.

  • gameplay

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The gameplay improves significantly as the game progresses, showcasing enhanced humor, charm, and story elements. It borrows heavily from Deltarune's battle mechanics but adds new features like positioning, which some find confusing and tiring. Overall, the game introduces fresh mechanics but may require time to fully appreciate.

    • “It has new mechanics!”
    • “It rips most, if not all, of the battle mechanics from Deltarune, with the additional mechanics unique to this game (like positioning, whatever that does) confusingly tacked on, creating a tiring and confusing experience.”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is somewhat compromised by UI bugs, particularly when using a joystick, which can affect the overall user experience.

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game evokes emotional resonance primarily through subtle references and symbolic elements linked to the Deltarune fandom, enhancing connection for fans. Emotional moments are highlighted by character relationships, especially early interactions, and distinct character actions that recall familiar effects from related games. Overall, these layered touches create a nuanced emotional experience rooted in fan recognition and character dynamics.

    • “The game appeals to the Deltarune fandom through random, disconnected, metaphorical dog-whistles, such as references to the game and its fans (e.g., "you moved in, it didn't take too long", "in this world, it's kill or b-"), and the use of contrasting pink and yellow for special horizontal and vertical attacks. Emotional beats like Sakou and the protagonist's relationship, especially in the beginning, and character actions like the king-like character's effect resembling the roaring knight's fullscreen swoon frame, as well as the protagonist falling to the floor with a noise similar to Undertale's "tick" noise, all contribute to the game's emotional appeal.”

  • graphics

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics feature a pixel art style that some users appreciate, though certain music choices are viewed as not fully matching this aesthetic. Overall, the visual design is consistent but may feel slightly discordant with the soundtrack for some players.
