I appreciate that you enjoyed the character design and backgrounds. I try to make them stand out and less muted because the campy/anime-ish feel to it matched the overall aesthetic/ambience I'm going for. I'm glad the UI sounds/music fit as well. I try to pick ones that would fit.
I had to cram a lot of assets and designs during the jam project and was short on time when I finished all the required stopping point of the story so I wasn't able to iron out all the finer details. So to hear your input on this is much appreciated.
