No video this time, but I wrote some bullet points and took screenshots while testing.
-
No music in the hub, but there is music in other places e.g. the shop
-
Hub still allows player input while playing animation before loading another scene e.g. You can press “Sortie”, and then quickly press “Detention”, which will first load detention and then sortie. It’s bug prone.
-
I thought clicking on Challenge #1 was just going to display a text of some bonus objectives I should do in the swamp stage, not open a different challenge stage. I guess you could call then Challenge/Bonus Stages, or add selection screen for either story stages or challenges.
-
Timer in Challenge #1 starts before “START” text shows up. Same goes for the Swamp Mission (I start with 25 seconds if I don’t skip the initial cutscene). The timer should pause when cutscenes play and it should start after countdown when player is able to move.
-
You can still shoot after dying
-
I finished Challenge #1 and it took me around 7 attempts. I was really close twice, but I died to the last moving block. I wish there was some progress bar showing how close I was.
-
The Challenge #1 made me think the time player is invincible after taking a hit is not long enough. There was even a time I accidentally got hit by the same moving block twice. Of course I could play better, but maybe at least the blocks could disappear after hitting player for the first time.
-
The audio of the character talking at the shop does not match the lip flaps. I do not expect it to be perfectly in sync, but I found it glaring when I could hear her with her mouth closed, so I thought I would mention it.
-
The chibi aesthetic found in the main menu is still my favourite. The big character avatar at the shop just does not fit in my opinion.
-
Pausing the game with ESC during the swamp stage while characters speak does not stop them from speaking their current line.
-
You need separate audio sliders for music, voices, sfx
-
The option to always display the hitbox is very useful
-
The PP was capped at 20, I never received any of my PP rewards T_T
-
I could not figure out how to get the secret database window.
