This game is adorable, from concept to art to music to gameplay loop. You really do feel the pressure of being poor little Shanghai going against Alice and her dolls, but it's not overwhelming, and you can have great fun finally figuring out the nuances of the game.
My only minor quibble is that Shanghai can be super vulnerable after coming out of shield because the throw meter depletes to zero and dolls are merciless with snowballs, but it's not a game-breaking sort of deal.
I loved every bit of this game, but most especially the music. You really brought out the deep cuts, and I very much respect that, as Alice has always been a favorite of mine. Good job, team!
