So glad this is finally out! I just did a sort of speed run to complete everything in the journal, and I'm definitely excited to see what's to come.
From my quick play through- The buy menu needs work, I had no idea how much things cost and it's easy to accidentally buy.
- While mowing the lawn my helmet and vest were still standing on the sidewalk, it also changed me back to the default t-shirt.
- Lawn mowing seemed buggy, I kept getting stuck and couldn't figure out why. The % didn't always count up, and then when I hit 66% it just stopped (though I did get paid).
- Skateboarding was really buggy for me, on the sidewalk in the park it worked okay (the camera was very jittery), but on the starting platform and the sidewalk outside of the video store I couldn't seem to get moving forward consistently.
- On the handheld game I could move side to side, but there didn't seem to be anything to do other than just skate side to side, occasionally it looked like I was moving forward.
- I'd like trigger areas to be more clear/require a button press. I accidentally talked to people a few times.
- More control over the POGs throws might make it more engaging. I like the Special slam, but every other slam feels sort of bland since the player has no real input.
- I'd like to be able to control what POGs I'm wagering. Additionally, having some battles where you chose your opponents wager and they chose yours could be a fun twist.
- Different stack sizes could be pretty cool.
- Thomas is an absolute G, I hope to see more of him!
- This is a breathtaking feat of self indulgence!
Great work, I'll keep my eye out for the next update, and let you know if I come up with any other feedback.
