Solid game! Loved the humor, pretty fun story :D I played it on the hardest combat difficulty, but I sadly didn't make it to the end. I found the combat to be tedious and cumbersome, having to use many button presses to do simple actions, and there's a lot of random and unavoidable combat without much threat so it felt like a waste of time to fight. Setting it to the fastest option didn't help much with this as most of the time is spent menuing forever just to do two attacks and an exertion or two.
I did get stumped on my first encounter in the purple room, as I apparently decided to fight in the toughest of the four for my first fight... The others were much easier :D so after I upgraded my weapons on the easier squares, that fourth fight was also pretty easy.
After fighting all four squares I couldn't find a way to progress further to get a blue key. My best guess is that I have to keep fighting the customers and meatballs until it drops? But the slow and tedious combat burned me out so I decided to call it quits.
I do love the flavor and the story in this game, there's a lot of creativity here :D honestly if the TBS combat system gets streamlined and has fixed instead of random encounters, I would enjoy it a lot more. In my opinion it's the only flaw to an otherwise very nicely done game!
