I played this last night, but was incredibly tired and totally blanked on leaving a comment!

This was a really cool game. I loved the low-poly PS1-ish aesthetic. It really came together nicely. I was very impressed with the variety of gameplay. Exploring was cool, and the battle segments were fun and engaging.

I did find the controls a little tough a times (the exploration part took a minute to get used to on the train) but that also felt PS1 authentic.

Battling was good, but I did find it strangely difficult to hit the eyeball enemies with the wand attack. It often felt like my shots just went right through them. I almost gave up, but scraped by on my 3rd attempt.

The train section on the other hand, was a lot easier, though I did initially leap off the train XD

Overall this was a very impressive game, great work!

Kicking it right off the bat with a sick cutscene instantly grabbed me in. It was fun jumping around all the different gameplay styles, everything seemed to control pretty intuitively, but it might be useful to have some kind of indicator when the significant controls change. I think some of the gameplay could use with some tightening up, specifically the hitboxes - it felt like I was getting hit by those shockwave attacks even when I thought I was jumping over them at the right time, and in the runner section it definitely felt like I missed some attacks that I shouldn't have. But honestly, I was hyped like crazy by the end, you did a really great job with all the cutscenes and effects.

This is a really well-made and impressive game! I especially liked the opening animation and the song that went with it. It really set the mood for the game and reminds me of old-school video games. It is really cool that motion capture is made for the character’s movements, and the display of her moves in the opening really helped draw me into the game. Disclaimer: I actually don’t know this genre of video games very well so my experience definitely does not apply to most players, and I am not sure if my review can do it justice. This is maybe one of my first few tries at games like this, so I had a hard time knowing what I was supposed to do (ended up walking into the monster a few times and then slowly walking away from it). But after my first few attempts I managed to control the character better and got to the part where I have to shoot the monsters. I think this is definitely not an easy game for novices, but more experienced players will really appreciate it. The difficulty is actually just right I think, because it is engaging without being too difficult, if I am more used to coordinating the jumping and shooting. The sound effects and music pair very nicely with gameplay and the monsters are actually quite scary but I think it is effective in adding excitement to the game. I really like the touch of mahou shoujo themes in the weapon and the attacks, and the character is really cute!

Edits: Typos!

This is amazing, full stop. Are you using MoCap for the animations or just hand animated? My only complaint is the size of the subtitles being ultra small on a 4k monitor, even at 40"

Wow, the cutscenes and animation is impressive. Nice job. both the magical girl and monsters look legit (in the retro lowpoly way). And the atmosphere is great too. For the game, it's quite good, but also quite difficult. 

The combination of danmaku and shooter is really cleverly executed. The cutscenes are also nicely done.  

(I’m playing the jam version) Ok, I wish the control would be more clear in game because I keep having to look at the game page, and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to shoot after I get the wand (I’m on a laptop, so after clicking right to aim I cannot click left. The touchpad can’t handle simultaneous left-right clicks). I spent a long time in the beginning too because the camera disoriented me, but.

But oh boy. That’s some dedication. I can’t believe how much you get done in one month. The cutscenes, the area. I like the PSX aesthetics you’re gunning for. Btw, it runs smoothly with me (no fps problem) and I’m running a mid machine.

Here’s cheers for you, and I’ll check out the updated version later!

You're doing some insane stuff conceptually here, going from a fixed camera movement system to a shooter to an on rails segment. I feel like you took some huge swings here which was so awesome :> 

I think the train sequence at the beginning could have been improved if you made it so that the changing camera didn't change the direction you were moving, it led to me being suuuper disoriented.

Absolutely crazy that you put this super compressed anime OP, it's an off the wall decision that worked really well for me. This was scrappy and rough around the edges but a lot of fun with so much variation. Also the stylized buildings and autumn environment looked super cool!

The game take too much time to really start. I ended bored before the protagonist gain her powers.

And the changes of the camera that change the controls in the train is a complete pain.

Supposedly have the quality of a PS1 game, but the FPS are on the floor, and I use a good PC. I suppose that Unreal Engine isn't the paragon of eficiency.

I really enjoyed and was impressed with the cutscenes, they were well animated and fun to watch! The artstyle is also consistent and everything worked well together. The final boss fight on top of the trains was fun!

I liked the idea of the different camera angles on the train in the beginning area, but they made it difficult to navigate. It was hard to tell which direction I was going when it would swap suddenly and be facing the opposite way. The story text was way too small. I also had a difficult time with aiming the magic wand and wished there was a crosshair.

Great work!
