Spike Lee's The Twilight Zone Review
I opened this game like 10 days ago. It was extremely embarrassing. But thank you for the kind review.
Wyesse Review
Thanks for this review, man. I remember making this when I was 19. I'm 32 now and RM is way behind me, but it's good to see people are still finding some enjoyment from my old creations.

Spike Lee's The Twilight Zone Review
Wow, I just saw this. I'm... I'm impressed. A fitting tribute to a.. ghost in a shell. I followed Spike Lee's advice. He said, "Do the right thing." So I made this game.

Thanks a lot for the review! And holy crap, even I didn't know about that abuse strategy :O
I can see why some people would say the game is too short. And that some people would say that it's the right length. To me, if I could've found a way to make the gameplay more interesting, it would have been longer. Unfortunately, my skill doesn't extend past a tweaked RM2K3 DBS and simple mini-games. I also was afraid of making the story drag and I think instances of this is evident in Chapter Five. However, some thought it ended too abruptly also...
ah, decisions...
I am glad you enjoyed it altogether!

Leo & Leah: A Love Story Review
I don't mind the vague spoiler-ish stuff. And yeah, there are moments where I wanted to parody the whole "rescue the princess" plot. The situations keep getting absurd but you have to keep going.
I made Leo silent because I wanted people to pay attention to the secondary characters. Also, most silent protagonists are basically just vessels for the player. Usually, they don't do things the player doesn't expect... which I didn't want to be the case here. There's also a lot of NPC's who also talk about love and the sub-plots that Leo gets involved in are sometimes related to love (Zinn and Zara and Queen B, Chapter 4, the two birds).
I sorta aimed to have a "wind-down" effect coming down to the end, especially with the music. While it's upbeat in the beginning, the tempo is slowly being reduced until it's just a hum by the last chapter. Same with other aspects of the story and environments. I guess I put more thought into this than I am willing to admit.

You signed up just to write a rave review? Uh-oh! People might think you're me!
Concerning the review, I agree with the gameplay section, especially the Marsh backtracking. Even when I was testing, this was a hassle for me and I admit, I added it for unnecessary "padding". But I was expecting people to use the Fading Smile move through the Marsh parts if they got frustrated. But yeah, that was a bad move since I made this game with the intention of "fun".
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed what I had to offer! And thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review! Except:
I think you meant "sentient"?
Glad you enjoyed the game. I see it had the same problem you thought A Home Far Away had; supporting cast outshining the protagonists. Maybe if I ever make another project, I'll put more focus into the main characters! I guess when I set out to make this game, I just wanted to make something stylish and fun and have (easy) battles that definitely cannot be won by "mashing buttons". And.. I've been wanting to experiment with a "Mood Whiplash" for quite some time now. I don't think this game would have been the same without those scenes...
Leo isn't the only one having a problem, pretty much any sentiment creature (as well as some creatures which shouldn't be sentiment) has it's own problems.
