Thanks for playing, Nowis! Glad you like the sprites and battlers :D
Yeah, the cafeteria scenes are optional. You can go to class without having breakfast. The game does mention what classroom you need to go to at night. I'll probably either be adding a simple quest journal or have a hint item, so the player immediately knows where to go.
Aah, I'm happy you liked the OTT finisher; I had so much fun coming up with that name. I'm probably going to do the Match 3 concept for another game, preferably while not getting stressed by a deadline.
Now, now I don't want to spoil, so you'll just have to play the next installments ;)
