What I liked
- I'm a big fan of the art style.
- Implementing QTE is pretty ambitious, so huge kudos on that.
- I liked the music in general, but I will mention it again in the section below.
- The theme is clearly implemented without having to be explained how the theme is implemented.
Suggestions/Feedback
- Personally, I felt like the music was a little too loud in comparison with entity sounds, I feel like entity sound volumes should take priority over the music's volume. They're the main concern so the player should be drawn to that.
- The downside of implementing QTE is that a tutorial is basically mandatory. Not having one, you risk a lot of players giving up because they don't feel like scrolling back to the page and re-reading everything again. I think its even more critical in your game's case because of the art style.
Overall, its a good submission. If you move forward with this project, I'd love to play again when a tutorial is implemented!
