Amazing job, this game is awesome!

The dialogue and personalities came across really well and I liked the references in the dialogue! The art is incredible, I loved the unique gem designs, and I was really impressed at the sheer number of expressions for each opponent!

The game felt challenging but a good level of difficulty.  The unique twist to each game kept it from being repetitive and it was really fun to puzzle out different strategies for each one! I never lost or had to restart, but it came really close and I only survived thanks to some strategic item uses (My favourite was the gem swapper).

Only minor issues was Ollie's rot blocking the gem, and that Raora felt easier than Shiori and Gigi.

I want to try an itemless run in the future, I had so much fun with this game!

I can't believe this was made in 2 weeks, it's so polished! The unique items were all super cool and I loved seeing all the little references, I think my fav item was the Travel Pouch or Sheet Music. 

Struggling through and finally beating Immerred was so satisfying, it was a tough fight! I just made it with 3 phoenix feathers and less than 10 secs on the clock... I finished on Stage 5, Difficulty 21 and 48 items.

Some small improvements could be made but most of the comments have mentioned them already. 

Maybe you could add an Item index in the menu that shows items as you collect them? Idk how programming works so if that's really hard don't worry, it's not a game issue at all! I just want to read the item descriptions and look at the cool art closer without fighting a hundred Otomos at the same time.

This is such an awesome game, I will definitely be playing it again! Plus I still think there are some items I didn't get (^-^).
