I was immediately drawn to the game from the artstyle, and it did not disappoint! The endings were cute, the story was cute, and I loved all the character designs. I especially liked how there was a good ending where Syrup did end up alone, because sometimes its okay to just want to thrive as a person without anybody else (but its not okay to be an asshole while doing it, which is a good message!) My one note is that when butterscotch revealed her "true self" it took me a solid 5 minutes to figure out the difference. I would've liked her to have more of a noticeable change in appearance. She could've had chubbier cheeks, larger arms, etc and that would've been an instant catch on. Instead, she looks the exact same except with a larger body. But I assume that since this was for a game jam, time was a difficult thing to spare. Other than that, I have no negative comments, everything about this game was adorable and I loved it <3
So far so good. Will update once we finish it.
So far this is hitting the 6 base requirements for a good yuri story.
1: slice of life. check
2: fantasy or science fiction. check
3:plenty of female characters with lots of shipping potential. check
4: all characters are adults not tweens. (check, and art style is cute)
5: cozy/light hearted. so far check (though the promise of death spooks us)
6: zero to very little real-world politics. check.
This makes it a good story, lots of fandom potential, and you can safely escape into it without worrying about it reminding you that reality exists. It is also nearly 10 years old so that last part might just be luck. will update once finished.
so cute! I got the gumdrop ending
awesome sauce, what first got me into being a nomnomnami fan mwah
