I like it! Solid work for a first-time solo project.
+ Character designs are very likeable
+ The setting is compelling. Space whales? Star cults? Sign me up.
~ The music's nice and chill; it doesn't get it the way, but it's also not doing much to set the tone
~ The writing feels like peak FF or Homestuck fanfiction. It's pleasantly nostalgic, but it doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
- Controls and hitboxes are definitely janky, which is totally forgivable. Without the forgiving respawn mechanic, this would be a much larger problem though.
- Every room starts with an unskippable cutscene, which makes the dialog rather tiring if you have to respawn.
