The drawings are very cute and I liked the story a lot!
Chao
I really love the character artwork, especially the MC and her magical girl outfit! The missile launcher was a pretty amusing power. I liked the shooting mini game! VNs are always enhanced by having minigames and other interactive moments, at least in my opinion. The shooting gallery was fun, but it did lag quite a bit in the web version, so I got the bad ending several times... that said, I eventually learned to work with the lag and carefully time my shots, and got the good ending!
A really cute game, great work!
Here are our team members thoughts on the game:
bagel: This game is very very good! I liked the characters/dialogue and character designs a lot. I think it's really impressive that you guys were able to implement the missile launching mini game and the point n click aspect given the amount of time we all had for the jam. All in all this game made me really happy and I love SydneyXMissy. When we were playing we were like "woah all these characters look filipino" and then when the ph flag showed up I was like "UY! PHILIPPINES!"
AJ: I liked it a lot! I liked the color schemes and the character designs. I think there could have been more of a wait/pause before you start playing the missile mini game and I would like a restart point for if you lose that starts you right before the mini game. Especially since the two endings are dependent on whether you win or not.
Key: I liked the art style and I love gay people! The characters were written nicely and we all liked Randy. :]
Missile launcher is the best magical power! Really laughed at that part.
Great job all around on the writing, art, music and flow of conversations too.
Very cute! I loved the artwork and the sprite changes, there so emotive, ad the item item was nice as well! It was nie seeing her have a normal life, she works at a laundromat, she can sew her own things! Her friends were fun too, just doing casual things while all this is unfoldng around Missy, it was nice to emphasize things are still "normal" around her as she just, causually acquires a magical missle launcher lol.
This was a cute little story, liked the artworks and impressions!
Her magical girl outfit was also really cute, I admire her cat tail xD
The only thing to complain about, it that the shooting game lagged a lot, maybe it's only the Web version?
Love the art style of the game!
Cute story as well.
Also, I found it pretty unique that the MC made her own magical outfit. (At least the few Magical Girl shows I've seen, it's always an outfit that is already made for them or a reflection of their heart/ personality or something lol)
In addition, I'm surprised that Ren'Py was able to add a mini-game within the Visual Novel format.
It'd be neat to look into checking out Ren'Py's other capabilities.
Great work on this game!
Great game, it's very fun. Also I'm impressed that you managed to do all that in Renpy.
I love the way the characters look, the artstyle is fun. They all have great characters design for such a short game. I love how Missy's hair makes it look like cat ears. Very clever.
so happy you caught on missy's cat ears!! ^^ thanks for playing the game :D
i loved it! the story and art is awesome! i had some troubles understanding how combat works because enimies didn't disappear after i shot them. i wonder did i do a bad job or is it supposed to end in MC being regretful that she opened the box?
glad to hear you enjoyed it!! <3 sorry to hear abt the second part but to answer the last part, yep :) that's one of the two endings and you get that when you aren't able to defeat the enemies. the other ending is when you're able to defeat the enemies, then you'll get another reaction from missy. won't spoil it tho hehe
Wow pretty cool! I didn't know you could make a lightgun style game in ren'py
thanks!! props to our programmer for that one :)
