The gameplay is characterized by its unique mechanics and charming art style, offering a refreshing experience in a short adventure format. While the dual-character control system is compelling, it may require some adjustment and could benefit from further polish and innovative level design. Overall, the game serves as an impressive proof-of-concept with potential for expansion into a more polished full release.
- “This was one of the cutest and most wholesome games I've played. It's short but sweet, and the gameplay was super unique; I feel the game didn't utilize it enough.”
- “Unique gameplay idea + cute art.”
- “The gameplay dynamics are so unique, and I was quickly drawn into the story.”
- “If this were a full game, it could probably use a bit more polish on controls (though maybe that's just the inherent awkwardness of controlling two characters simultaneously a la 'The World Ends With You' or 'Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons') and level design (solidly functional, but maybe a little safe/boring). There are definitely lots of ways to engage with the core mechanics that are left on the table, but as a proof-of-concept, this is absolutely stunning.”
- “Here's hoping the team takes this even further, trying out some crazy level design and exploring all that potential in the mechanic; maybe this could be the next 'Ape Out' or 'Outer Wilds' or [insert other interesting-and-a-little-rough-or-underexplored student project polished to perfection here].”
- “The gameplay dynamics are so unique, and I was so quickly drawn into the story.”
