This is really fun! Sugar-coated violence with cute kawaii girls! Big kudos to the artist providing such wonderful character designs, both player character and the enemies as well. The story is a bit nonsensical, but it matches perfectly with the silly morbid tone the game is going for. Gameplay is really nice and super fun boss fights as well! The game is super polished and well-made, and I had a lot of fun playing! Well done! My favourite character right now is the chocolate cake girl, btw.
Other things I like:
- Loads of funny decorations, especially in the starting area
- Good moveset with the player character
- Telegraphed attacks from the bosses
- Really challanging boss fights. It's rare to see myself putting that Dark Souls mindset on for a jam game
- Cute and morbid dialogues and cutscenes
- UI is very stylised and cute
Suggestions:
- The platforming levels lack the same polish as the boss fights, and I think it boils down to the level not being natural-flowing enough. It would benefit from some world-building in the level design as well
- Given how quick the last boss is, it would be nice to have fewer recovery frames for the normal swing and make the attack more responsive
- The dialogue text blends into the dialogue box quite a lot, especially with the pink one the main character uses. Consider doing outlines or drop shadows to increase readability
Anyway, this is really, really well done, and I like this game a lot!
