PRINGLE'S PROFILE

Thanks for your review! Glad you enjoyed it.

As for the dialogue, a lot of people (specifically those who don't have English as their first language) messaged us on tumblr that they have been confused by it, which we could definitely fix. So, we'll be re-writing/simplifying a majority of the dialogue so it's accessible to as much people as possible.

We're still in the process of balancing a lot of skills and stats and whatnot, so hopefully the combat will feel much more satisfying in the full game.

Also the crashes are a common problem that we're still trying to fix. It seems like when the game uses up too much memory it just closes out. It's a weird problem with MV that we're hoping gets fixed soon.

Quick Notes

Time Spent: 1h30m
Progress: I got to the start of the forest after the city (Fox-something)

- Pixel art is top-notch and sells the game practically by itself.
- The controls and UI/UX are very good. It's clear a lot of time and effort went into this.
- Music is very good but there are a few tracks that are played too often.
- The 4x random stun ability is overpowered.
- The battle system feels very bland and one-dimensional. Hard to put my finger on what, exactly, is missing. It's not just that the enemies are easy - that is easy to fix. Every new character feels like just a "+1 rando" rather than "this dude is unique and interesting." Expecting Chrono Trigger-level variety might be asking a bit much, but what you have here is pretty weak. (Might be a lack of equipment variety? i.e. equipment that gives significant stat boosts, resistances, or spells, so you have to strategize around it.)
- The dialogue has too much filler. I get what you're trying to do with it, giving each character their own flavor. That gets old quick. I would consider cutting ~25-50% of it.

That all might sound a bit harsh, but I'm assuming this will be sold at about the $9.99 price point (13 hours of gameplay) and am judging accordingly. If you can fix up the weak points, it can become a really outstanding game. Definitely looking forward to the final product!

Agree on the stun ability totally. Feels extremely abusive. On the other hand the skills with the low stun chance like never stuns for me. Dont know if thats really intended.
Battle System felt allright to me. Although its sometimes hard to keep track with the UI.
Asking for Chrono Trigger variety is probably to much ya. The characters all felt different to me. Just Rex didnt add much but the OP Stun. I think the problem here lies in the 100 Heartbeat moves. Since 3 Chars just got huge nukes. Makes them feel the same. Also you need to unlock "only" Kleins one? And you regenerate to much Heartbeat imo. You can just spam these moves.
Dialouges tend to be long ya. I enjoy them though but thats preference.
Price I would say around 10-15 too yes. 20 would be the top and very expensive I think. Specially if you look at other games in that franchise.

Thanks for the feedback! We're definitely looking into the stun thing, otherwise we're still in the process of fine-tuning things for the full release, so expect lots of tweaks and changes. As for the price, we've decided a while back that a name-your-own-price with a 5$ minimum would be ideal.

No, you gotta block the chicken with your bare fists.
