The game looks great and I enjoyed the music. If you told me this was an RPG Maker game, I would have never known. Now for the feedback:
- Even though you were focused on gameplay, I wish you went for a different story instead of going meta with making a game for a game jam. There's so much creativity in the game that something simple like the story stands out as being so uncreative
- The survey questions that influence which trait you get is nice but since it directly affects gameplay, I felt that you should have given the player a choice. Now if I'm unhappy with what I got, I need to restart the game
- The fairy sprite felt off compared to the rest of the graphics. It's the only pixel art in the game
- The tutorial was too long and it did not do a good job explaining how to play. This game requires a huge learning curve which will turn off a lot of people unless you properly introduce the mechanics to the player. I think you've given the player way too many choices in the 20 turn stage. You could have easily divided that into smaller chunks and gradually gave a new set of emotions each time so that the player understands the importance and also keep the gameplay fresh as you continue to play. Instead, you chose one huge map to reinforce a poorly written story.
- The controls were weird. You stated in the title screen that there's no mouse support but there is. Try hovering over a command during battle or in the name entering scene. I'm not sure why you went with PS5 button graphics if the player doesn't have a PS5 controller attached. You could have designed it where it automatically swaps between controller / keyboard input graphics depending on which button / key was most recently pressed
- I think there needs to be side objectives on the board. Maybe a treasure chest with emotions so the player could restock
As someone who's not concerned about getting a high score, in my perspective, the whole point of the game is to go from point A to Point B using RNG. It's one of the issues that I had while playing Mario Party Advance. Anyway, good job on the entry and goodluck with your future endeavors!
