Not to sound mad, but the game feels sluggish to play, even by skipping text, which is bad, because the game is pretty good in terms of art and that!
The dialogue is... Charming, sometimes, I'd recommend not making 2024 memes focus on some parts of the dialogue (Gigi's gamblecore joke), since those will, inevitably, die out. making the jokes not be funny anymore, some parts are funny, and i am saying this as an avid dandy's world disliker and the one who pissed on Qwelver's carpet (/j on the last part)
The yapstro achievement looks like pain, paired with the sluggish gameplay, the problem with this is that this is an achievement, which, you are forced to do for the 100% completion it doesn't feel fun, if it was like, on a "shadow achievements" tab it would make sense, since the game doesn't expect you to get the achievement
it's not a horror game i would call it a comedic horror at best
The game is really hurt by being a scratch game
Darn, i wish i wasn't on my break but i would happily agree to work with you to rebuild the game in Ren'py, which, although it would make the game a visual novel and NOT a side scroller, would make it more fun overall.
I give this game a 6/10, also i really loved the Henry Stickmin references spread throughout they give the game charm and don't feel like if the game was saying "OH HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS 'GAMBLING' MEME? IT'S SOO FUNNY!" (Gigi), since they are visual gags, they don't tell you the joke, you SEE the joke, also btw IRON LUNG??
First of all, the reason your game is popular is just because it's uhh... Dandy's World, like you didn't start from the ground up or anything you just made a fangame and you are comparing it to a recently created franchise
Also i wrote this comment when i was on a power outage with my phone data remaining (yes i played this on mobile via JoiPlay"
Also i don't think your artstyle is ugly it's just not my taste the game would be better if it was made on another medium, like, i wouldn't read it if it was like a webcomic but i am pretty sure it would be more enjoyable albeit less inmersive
Sometimes i really get grumpy and talk like my first comment that's me without my daily coffee
Anyways if you can remake this, do it, you could send me every string of text to correct the typos
Hello, It's me, Fluffin, and, sorry for getting too mad, BUT I THINK YOUR GAME STINKS
Like, the game feels like your average RPG Maker MZ game, I have to admit, twisting the battle mechanic into a baking minigame is fun, and a little bit of text is really charming
I know, i might have the words "I hate dandy's world" ingrained into my mind, but that bias aside, this fangame of it isn't that good
First, the game feels like a slog to play, you don't know where to go, and i found myself walking around the first few rooms not knowing where the ekevator was
And, let's play a little game
Take a shot every typo you see on this game
I didn't count them all but i would imagine you would be taking deadly amounts of alcohol
Get a proofreader!
I could tell you "you tried" but i am not a fan of mediocrity, this isn't you unable to make a good game, you could make a good game, but didn't try to, because your art, despite looking slightly awful to me (I hate this art style, sorry for being grumpy) looks pretty... not good in my opinion but it looks like you put effort into it, maybe if you don't know alot of coding you could make an animation instead, or a comic, or select any medium instead of your weakness, games
Also, the pacing feels off, like, it looks like you'll be baking alot because the baking mechanic got introduced, then it becomes a literal treasure hunt, and then buttonmashing, and then a slowburn horror game where you move like a slog, then some chase with a mechanic you were never told about, if you told me Astro said something about the mechanic way before the chase i could have told you that was great foreshadowing of a mechanic, and i don't talk about the rest because the astro chase is soo disgustingly difficult i couldn't even beat it, even with an autoclicker to mash Z for me, and that's the first twisted you encounter
"Why are you playing it if you don't like it?" Because if i hated on it before playing you would say i should have given it a try!
Listen, the world would enter global peace if you decided to make an actual good game
The day you come back to this comment, and give me a notice on how the game has a update/remake drastically improving it, that will be the day the sun rises, the day there's a rainbow in the morning, the day an eclipse happens, but before that non-existent day arrives, this game stinks
"Why did you play it?" It's popular! I was curious and played it meanwhile a power outage was happening
I don't blame you and i think this game had a very chaotic development, even worse than the real dandy's world, soo i give you extra points to be loyal to the real deal
I would rather be locked in a room with Qwelver, lead developer of Dandy's World, than play this again, because with Qwelver, despite me hating her, atleast it would be slightly more fun than playing this game, but the bar is on the fricking floor soo it doesn't matter!
You know what? Being with Qwelver AND RoxSerpent, co-developer, locked in a room, would be still more fun than playing this again
Sorry for the rant but it stinks!
Listen, you can't cover your ears and ban me, i think you are talented but this is just wasted potential, you should remake this
I give this a 4/10, 3 of those are pity points, and the 4th is only there because it's an even number and because atleast this game doesn't have bad people at charge
You shouldn't be in the industry- i mean, you tried
I sit behind the crack in the wall as the secrets stop leaking from it, nobody will know where is the treasure, and those who know where it is, will not live to tell it
