The originality of the idea is easily a 12/10.
The side view feels a little unusual at first. But the relationship mechanics with the figures through minigames, along with the dialogue, are literally what I expected to see at this jam. Absolutely amazing.
I’d remove the possibility of a sector appearing at 9 o’clock (on the left), because it’s genuinely very difficult to react to, even with good reaction time and a high-refresh-rate monitor.
Definitely one of the best games I played at this jam
