Short but definitely sweet! I was so excited to see a new update - I bought the game on Steam, originally, and couldn't put it down for the hours of cute, adorable, and cozy play it gave me. My favorite thing is being able to ride the gigantic cat across the map. Definitely one of my favorites to come back to as a comfort game.

Jumps right into it! Your main character stops to wonder how spirits can order pizzas, but, by god, they're still gonna deliver those pizzas. They've got a job to do after all. I love that the spirits are creepy, but I feel just like... "What up, here's your pizza. Nice song. Yep. I don't get paid enough..." as I walk away. This is so fun and creative, the spirits are definitely spooky without being scary. I really enjoy how the audio was used here, as the songs of the spirits rather than just as backgrounds of a scene or other effects. It really added something to the experience. I honestly wish there were more spirits to meet!
The narrative is simple, but it's there and it's true. You show up, deliver the pizzas to spirits, and by the end, you've done what you came to do! I also like the hints of the backstory and world-building you've dropped in along the way about how and why the spirits are there, along with what they may or may not remember along the way. It was a pleasure to play!
As a person with a photosensitive seizure disorder, I love that you've added a warning for flashing lights and effects. I went ahead and decided to play as much as I could in a well-lit room so that I could give the game a fair rating. The music makes me think of an '80s arcade game, which already gets me excited because... moondancing and space car.
I could only play for one round but what a round it was! I would love to play another couple of rounds sometime when I haven't worked all day and when I'm feeling a lot better. This game is so much fun, omg. However, narrative-wise, I didn't really understand any kind of story that was going on? I think you nailed the optional themes, but I didn't see a storyline. That said, I'm obsessed and I think you did RADICAL with the time that you had. I can't wait to see how this game flourishes in the coming months, and I totally want to make more money as an intergalactic pizza man. Is there any chance of you releasing a less flashy version later on?
I love the concept behind this game! Memories and the vastness of space and stars. The space travel aspect is super fun, right off the bat. For some reason, I expected inverse controls, but I have no idea why. I also really liked the music immediately too, I think it set the exploration, but poignant mood.
I do think that more background or instructions going in would be really helpful, or even just a quick explainer of some kind of story. The eye focus puzzles were confusing, but with instructions they could be a really cool challenge and I would like to see them as a finished puzzle in the game. They're intriguing and they make me want to know what's going on. (My first thought was focal seizures, as a sufferer myself, which would be so cool to see represented in a game!)
Overall, I enjoyed playing! I think the narrative is going in a fun direction, I just feel like there needs to be more of it so that I can understand even the littlest bit of what's going on. Right now the game mechanics are enough to intrigue me, and I feel like you've worked in the optional themes! I've followed so that I can see how this turns out so I can hopefully play as it develops!
