Wow, what an experience!
Yet another Shandy Pants classic of ugly models, music, singing, and janky movement!
Just from the main menu I knew the game was going to be good, having the timescale based on mouse position was brilliant. And that intro was beautiful!
The UI was nice and clear, I genuinely wish I had the time and skill to make my tutorials as obvious and nice looking as this one. And the scrolling script on the side was nice, and I loved being able to see the scene play out with the players sound effects!
The negatives I encountered are much the same as others have mentioned. I actually didn't know there was a seciton opened on the left hand side, I assumed it was just the right hand side that opened. I did see the sign saying the new area for the right side was open, but nothing for the left. I also found I wasn't able to jump up to the top level of the right hand room, so I could never reach that top bell.
I also found that even though it seemed like certain sounds would play for multiple seconds, the script didn't seem to always recognize them if they started playing before the relevant section. Maybe that was explained and I just missed it?
Overall though I thoroughly enjoyed this game, the cutscenes were brilliant, and I loved the callback to last years entry! Excellent work!
