Alright so I gave the demo a go and I figured I'd give a quick rundown of my experience rather than write a full review:

That's fair enough considering that its a demo. ;)

So far, I really like the cartoony and whimsical art style that the game is going for and some of those monster designs gave me a good chuckle. There's definitely a lot of heart and personality put into what you're aiming for and I think it's paying off so far. Slim Grim is a heck of a character to end up in a room with, and he kinda reminds me of the grim reaper from Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Slim Grim is actually from an old cartoon I made years ago called Spilt Coffee. I think Gregg was definitely a big influence on his personality along with Johnathon's conscious in David Firths "A Black and White Cartoon About" series. I love aggressive but harmless characters, especially when they contrast heavily with those around them.

Unfortunately, I was not able to finish the boss of Area 1 because all of Shooty's skills depend on having items in your inventory and if you run out, there doesn't seem like there's much you can do besides use the knife. As far as I was able to find, there was no way to make enemies respawn, so if I ran out of sources to get ammo at, that was it. You may want to address this so players don't find themselves trapped in a corner. I think it's neat that the game encourages resource rationing, but it's just a tad too punishing. Have something players can fall back on in a pinch!

Sounds like someone is a little trigger happy. B)

Seriously though, this is an interesting issue, I actually toned down the number of item drops after a lot of people told me they got to the end with way too many bullets and herbs in the inventory during testing but your the first person to run into the opposite problem. I could always increase the effectiveness of the knife on that boss to make it easier if you do run out of resources. I can see this system is definitely going to be difficult to balance going forward... either that or I need to try to really encourage people to only use firearms when the knife isn't "cutting" it.

Either way I liked my time with the demo, and i'm curious to see how the story and combat open up later.

Thanks for taking the time to try out my dinky little demo. Ill add these issues to my list of things to fix as I move forward!
