DEIVIDDO'S PROFILE

In the spike puzzle, I think you should only need to go through this once. I had to reenter the dungeon more than once due to one party member dying. The puzzle isn't difficult, but once the player has gone through it once, he shouldn't have to do it again. I would suggest changing the shortcuts to something like barriers that can be removed from one side, so a play can just walk through next time.

From the title, the Mana Siphon skill sounds as though it would steal mana from the enemy allowing the player to regain some. It doesn't actually do this. I had expected it to do this despite the fact that the description doesn't indicate anything more than attacking the enemy's MP. I would suggest changing the name of the skill to avoid confusion.

Are there any items that resurrect a party member? Perhaps I missed them. I know Healing Shards can resurrect a party member if one goes back to a save point. I had to reenter the first dungeon a few times due to having Javert die.

I really like the enemy encounter system. It's always a definite plus to avoid random battles. I liked how there seemed to be a nice balance between enemies that were avoidable and fights that were unavoidable.

I think I may have lost JP after the fight with the guardians. After the fight, Javert and Aika had 100 JP each. I could have sworn I had more JP before this fight. It was also odd that they both had 100 JP exactly.

The game was challenging, but not too difficult. My main worries when playing were running out of MP and healing items. I was very nervous during the Mushroomattack dungeon. If I hadn't stocked up on Healing Blooms before entering, it would have been game ending for me. I walked about with about 6 left and one remaining Healing Shard. I ended up escaping a lot and I'm sure I missed quite a bit of treasure. Maybe it couldn't hurt to have someone selling healing items at some point in the dungeon. I'm not sure if there was much warning that the player was going to be put into a situation where shops were unaccessible for an extended dungeon.

The puzzle in the Mushroomattack dungeon was well-designed.

I like how there are some skills that consume MP while others use BP. This allows the player to use skills that are easily replenished, while conserving MP for more important times. I did find myself running low on MP oftentimes.

Musical selections are very good and fit the mood quite well.

I'm a bit confused on the Invoker class. Some spells call for Ember element, but I am unable to select this when using Invoke.

I only noticed one mapping error. In the southeast of Mushroomattack near the tower, there is a shrub. You can walk from this shrub onto the lower level.

As far as the economy, I never had enough gold to purchase everything I wanted. I had to make decisions about what was important to buy. So, it seems like the economy is properly balanced thus far.

I don't recall any typos or punctuation errors.

My play time at the end of the demo was 3:29:19.
