Having your little buddy celebrate after clearing a stage makes me want to play "just one more level" way more than a simple score pop-up haha. Does it react differently when you swap in a new hat or change the Home scene?
Thanks for the heads-up! I haven't tried it myself yet, so I'll definitely keep the speedrun and perfect-match Easter eggs in mind haha. Having the ending shift slightly based on how the player performs is a really fun touch.
We're currently testing ISECAI, a web-based AI anime academy RPG driven by free-text input, and we're paying close attention to whether the character responses and feedback actually make people want to keep playing. Would you be up for trying a short opening section for free and sharing your first impressions? If you're interested, I can drop the link and a unique invite code right in the comments—no full review needed 🙂
