Thanks so much for the feedback!
I definitely agree, I went a little too hard on telling-not-showing when it came to the magical girl elements. Ideally I wanted to weave the tropes into the story much more organically (have finished sprites for ALL of the girls on the team and show them as a fleshed out team, have a longer intro to explain the team's backstory, show more through Cy's internet browsing etc) but unfortunately doing this jam 100% by myself and with a full time job, the exposition just ended up very ham-fisted through dialogue instead because I ran out of time to do all that I wanted. Definitely something I'm planning to improve on in the future!
I'm glad you like the ambiguity of not seeing the girls transformed! I do plan to show their magical girl attire in the full finished version of the game, again it was just down to time constraints. Not showing their transformed alter-egos yet was a worry I had when it came to submitting this demo, so I'm actually relieved to hear that you liked that aspect. ^^
Thanks for the rating and review! :)
