1000% reminding me of my Pokemon Ranger days. The artstyle, the animations, the dialogue, the bg music(big fan of the music), the evolution of the enemies- It feels very nostalgic. Also, maybe a pixel font would fit the dialogue text better., considering the art style.
I couldn't finish the game on my own so I watched your walkthrough. I must say, the endings were pretty much perfect for the game. They were anticlimactic and yet, they conveyed an interesting message, which I interpreted as "The 1st step to making friends is accepting that your lonely," or something like that. Overall, it was very innovative how you implemented the story into the mechanics. It's a very unique game that could be a really funny narrative story game with some polish. This is the kind of game I'd tell my friends about. Really great work!
