So I played this game with high hopes, "Another game by EightBlackey!" I thought. I assumed that this would be a fun horror adventure with the added bonus of having unicorns and stuff I guess. But it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be.
(SPOILERS START HERE)
The first half of the game is just collecting objects to open new paths, which is fine. I didn't really understand the controls at first, and so that hindered me a bit, but once I got the hang of it it was fine. Once I went to collect my prize from the chest things abruptly changed, the sudden sound effect startled me and I was in a clearing. I knew that once I collected the coin there was no going back. Things went downhill from there. The collection of the coins was pretty tedious and overall not that fun, though I have to say after playing more the story told through the notes did keep things interesting. Still the music soon became repetitive and the enemy wasn't that engaging. I almost quit several times due to how frustrating it was. The scenery also clashed with the more cartoony character models, even if this was intentional it still is offputting and not in a good way.
This isn't to say that there wasn't anything I enjoyed. When I was looking up at the beginning of the game I spotted a cameo from anilade, so that was pretty neat. And like I said before the bits of story that I got were pretty interesting, if a bit familiar, there was quite a bit of friendship and such. And the ending was pretty nice, if a bit confusing. I wouldn't be buying any cupcakes from popsicorn. Anyways, I thought it was ok, I wouldn't say it was worth the money though. Here's to your continued success as a game developer! I hope you do well.
