AAAAAAAA Thank you so much Carrot!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it this much ;v; I really gave it my all with this game and it means a lot that it came across. I'm so glad you liked all of them too-- I worry a lot about making sure people like each of the little guys.
And I am really glad the glitch moments worked the way I wanted to too-- I had a lot more planned, but I implemented them down to the deadline so when some of them just refused to work the way I wanted them to I had to toss 'em out.
And thank you especially about the end cutscene; I went through like??? seven different tracks??? before landing on the one I ultimately did. It required a lot of adjusting the timing of the scene and moving things around but it's the culmination of everything so I had to make sure it was tip-top. I originally had alternate endings planned after the cutscene depending on who you spent time with (or chose if you spent time with multiple) but just didn't have time nearing the end. There *is* a version of the main menu I drew up that has all the drawings after reaching an ending (Mint's ending represented by a doll, Akira's by a butterfly, Rei's by a written apology and Justice's by the bee's reflection in the TV) which is all that's really left of the original plans.
Anyways yeah!!! thank you so so much for your kind words ✨
