I believe you were on the stream so you've probably heard my feedback on it :)
Overall, the game is lots of fun! I would probably have played more if I wasn't going to try out other games on the stream.
I really love the aesthetics of the characters, especially how the player character has one eye larger than the other when looking south.
It was a bit odd why my minions would be attacking me, so maybe adding something in the beginning about that would help. E.g., my minions obeyed me when I was the big creature, but God S shrunk me into this little thing now, so they don't recognize me any more.
The first strike mechanism was a bit janky. Having to face the monsters makes sense, but I couldn't get it to trigger sometimes even with that knowledge. There were also multiple times where the first strike icon popped up, and I hit my gamepad button, but it didn't trigger. I would hit my button a few more times and then it triggered. There may be something about the timing?
Having the option to kick the sandcastle, or threaten the person fishing, was GREAT! I loved that. Maybe instead of / besides deducting shards of light, there could be a scene where a dark entity of some sort talks to the player, along the lines of "ah.. I see you still have evil in you" and then grants some bonus? There could also be a separate skill tree potentially. Maybe earning shards of darkness that lets you purchase abilities like charming monsters to obey you?
This was really fun, and I look forward to playing the next iteration!
