The minigames were super fun to play (except wordle cause I suck at it so that's on me)

Was running into a bug where Wordify wouldn't progress but outside of that this is shaping up to be something great.

Great implementation of the theme overall. Directly fits with what was expected and does it in a fun and interesting way.

charming artstyle and and a good prototype for a narrative game around a minigame collection

Developer

Thank you for the love. We all had fun making the minigames for the prototype and our artists were an amazing help.

Love the art. That was fun and cute, but I can't forgive you. :D

Some game juice/feel would benefit the mini-games, screen shake, a little scaling, stuff like that.

Developer

Thank you for playing, and the Kevin choice was sadly one of our first big things for the narrative, don't worry the whole team was sad about it. Also those are great ideas, we were planning to have UI animations of some kind in our initial draft but we cut it due too not having the time but yeah it would add a bit more to the game.

fav character is kevin (god bless his soul)

Developer

We all love Kevin too.

Great game! The art is 10/10 and there's definately more potential with the mini games aspect, but overall very fun. I miss Kevin.

Developer

Don't worry Kevin will always be in our hearts and we're happy you had fun playing.

Really pretty art. I had some trouble with Wordify game (sometimes it would not accept text). That ending was something. Are there other endings/days? Your GDD claims that there are 3 days but I couldn't get past day 1.

Developer

For the prototype we decided it'd be better to have a single day just so that everyone can experience the game quickly and easily. Also oh wow, I didn't realize Wordify had that bug, thank you so much for the feedback.
