Hello! Congratulations on releasing your game! I did a video review/let’s play of your game but it is my very first YouTube video ever and I'm having issues with it unfortunately

I can’t figure it out. Maybe I'll upload the video once I figure it out but its really bad. I really just wanted to provide some feedback on your game!
These are all my opinions so please don’t take any offense I am attempting only to be constructive so that you can improve the game or future projects! I’ll present my thoughts as I went through the game.
Very first impression of the game is VERY NICE! The custom titlescreen is gorgeous. The font is a little hard to read.
Not a fan of scrolling text, but you made it go nice and SLOW which is generally what I hate when they go by too fast. I also like that you double-spaced it to make it a lot easier to read!
The first map: presentation is great again! Love the falling leaf effect, and the light around the campfire too. Map looks nice.
Wow a bunch of dead people. Did that girl get struck by lightning? No idea what is going on.
Okay, didn’t realize at first that I was given control at this point. After walking around a bit, I walked over to the weeds in the upper right and something weird happens. I don’t know how to explain it. Are the maps parallaxed? It seems like the weeds are on a different layer and so the character awkwardly floats behind it. Minor, nitpicky.
Holy crap ton of enemies. I was able to walk past them all.
Next map… OK, do all of the enemies move toward the player?! All the flowers came charging to me at once which was super cheap…
OK first battle… WOW I love this battle system. I hate the normal turn based snore fest however, these flowers are PSYCHO. Who the hell waters these things!? So I got gang raped by 3 terrible flowers before I realized how to cast a magic spell. Very low on HP and now I figured it out. Wait, I HAVE to press the buttons to do a magic attack? I thought that the button presses just powered things up. Not cool. Where was the battle introduction for all this? Finally killed one, but I can never do the buttons quick enough to execute the full attack. I should mention, I’m in a semi-dark room and unable to look at the keyboard the way my desk is. I usually play RM games with the number pad so this might just be my own personal issue for not being used to this control scheme, but it seems very difficult to hit zdx in succession after hitting a and d.
Holy CRAP these things are crazy. And they keep going before I can decide on a move. There should be a pause function. Screw it. I’m going to click outside of the window to pause the game so I can think!
Killed them. Now I immediately get charged by the other flower enemy and start another battle. This is a little chaotic. I think there’s promise here but you should be slowly introduced to different elements not just dumped into this chaotic mess! Also what is with the random Japanese shouting? It sounds like a 60 year old man, not my character who looks like 16!
Beat them just spamming the attack and the first set of buttons. I can NOT get the second set, its too hard! The flowers also interrupt my magic attacks. Whoah?! I have skills? I can’t seem to use any of them though… still missing that battle tutorial!!
Ok now there’s two pigs kissing each other. Haha just kidding. They smell me. Crap these things are crazy too… spam attack and click outside of the window.
Can I please save???
Next map… MORE enemies?! My number lock key got stuck and now I get forced into a battle with 2 spider things. Fought them, and slid past the pigs. Wait they’re practically charging me. WHY DO THE ENEMIES HAVE A “FOLLOW PLAYER” in their move list? VERY FRUSTRATING. Can I escape? I figured out how to escape
YES a SAVE crystal! Thank the stars! Oooh love the save screen it is very cool looking. Is this Luna engine that made the title and this? Very cool.
More pigs. And some 3-headed monster thing. Ok seriously the Japanese voice is really stupid. It sounds constipated. Holy crap I’m getting raped. I’m trying to use a healing item and I keep getting stunned. Crap, keep failing my magic attack too. I’m dying… lets just spam attack… crap I’m stunned! I need to heal, game! Die. Game over. Reload save. OK, Lead with the magic zephyr blast. Let me heal. Let me heal! Keep getting stunned!! ARGH! Can’t do ANYTHING WTF? WTF?! Used a potion. Doesn’t heal crap. They’re doing more damage than the potion recovers. Stunned stunned stunned WTF. Die. Reload.
OK, I’m 15 minutes in. There is definitely a pacing issue here. Unless I was supposed to fight all of the monsters before here and grind in levels, this battle is way to hard! I swear I don’t think I totally suck at games, it should not be this difficult. If people are dying 15 minutes into the game then there is an issue. And why does the potion recover so little? It’s a waste of time. I use the potion and they hit me for double that amount before I even get a chance to move again.
RELOAD 3. Ok, beast mode time. WTF Instantly stunned. This is so unfair. WTF? WTF?! Ok, lets use this Hi-Potion. Take that ye bastards! Magic Zephry blast. Stop interrupting me! Crap I failed the key control again. Ok, my opinion, it should be that you have to press the buttons to enhance the spell, not to even do it. It’s too hard. Stunned stunned stunned. Is this supposed to happen? I am seriously wondering if this is a glitch. Attack attack attack. Ok down to just the chimera thing. YAY victory!
Cut scene reminds me of power rangers where they would kill the enemy, leap over the enemy and then the enemy would explode behind them while they posed. Idk that’s just what this reminds me of, lol
Ok, take a minute to take a look around. Oh god let me save again. Mapping is good. I ran through the last few maps so I wouldn’t get attacked but this map is nice. But the pacing issue is very real unless I am missing something super obvious, or was I supposed to grind away on all those other monsters? The character should hint that somehow.
Lock opening… ok this is just stupid. Again, I’m not in a well-lit room, I can’t see all these key combos.
Yes I went back to save because I’m a baby.
Random memory, yeah yeah yeah. I don’t care. I’m not connecting witih this character at all and I don’t get what’s going on.
SAVE! Yay! Stopped and played with the menu a little. AWESOME. I love the menu. Is this Luna Engine? Or custom? This should be in the Luna Engine sample if so because this is freaking awesome!
Ok onto the next room. Skip around the pig and open the first latch. Damn, got into a fight with the second one. Seriously over the Japanese voices now. I sound like a constipated old Japanese man. I still haven’t gotten the second part of the plain attack combo yet.
Second lever. This system for activating the switches is really annoying. At this point, I was standing in-between the two levers and the enemy is just repeatedly walking into the bridge but apparently they can’t cross over it. This confirms my suspicion I think. WHY are they set to follow the player?
Kill them, and run to last switch, Activate. 3 crazy ass fish people. Spammed Zephry blast. Try to use potion at the last minute. Forgot how useless they are. But I prevailed! Am I getting better at this?
Ok, was I supposed to do that or was it a secret encounter? Leave room, can’t go in the room. So I’m guessing not. Need to close each one.
At this point I saved and went into the next room and got charged by pigs again. Wait, my health is super low! Escape battle. Run back to save crystal to confirm my suspicions. WHY don’t the save crystals heal the player? This is very frustrating. You should at least heal me when I use the save crystals since I have a limited supply of usesless health potions.
Healed up with the useless potions and start clearing the second room. Stupid bats, more cheap enemies that chase me around the map. I do like the battle system and the graphics, but there are some frustrations here for me. Ok, run out to save before facing the final guy. Oh great, everybody respawned. Just great. Mow through them and move onto the mini-boss.
Spam the Zephyr blast and then attack to kill them. I’m noticing a pattern for success… I don’t have any time to pick anything so I just randomly blast it. Frick this stupid button press mini game! (failed 3 times in a row.) Cheated the AI a bit so I could run right past them.
Another memory sequence… who are these people? Why should I care? I don’t. I’m sorry. I don’t understand at all.
More pigs. I’m at a quarter health and I have to fight all of these things with like no potions. I’m still on the INTRO! I shouldn’t be exhausting my potion supply. Beat the first round, heal up with more potions… begrudgingly.
Random memory thing again. I don’t know who they are. Am I busting them out of jail or something? Next round of piggies. The usual spam rule applies. I think I’m getting better at this. But I’m now getting annoted with the aftermath screens. I have to press enter a few times just to get that to go away.
Another save crystal, but it doesn’t heal me… save and view the cutscene.
Slave? Really? Poor kitty…. Sorry I can’t take this too seriously because of the cutsie little word bubbles that are popping up. The game seems to be so serious but now there’s a little disconnect. I don’t understand everything yet which may be contributing to that feeling. But I don’t know who Sora is, or why I am in this castle or who these people are. Is this Orc the jailor? Let’s just keep going and see how many more times I can die….
Random cutscene. This makes me think about multiple party members. I can barely manage these timed button presses for myself, I can’t imagine how it will work if I get multiple party members. I hope they have AI because I can see it being very frantic. Choice! Yay, I choose to help the adorable little kitty!
Battle. Oh what a surprise, I’m stunned stunned stunned. Apparently this is a recurring theme. Literally still stunned. Dead.
OMG. Did you play test this? This is such an obvious issue unless I’m missing something super obvious to counter it. I mean WTF? I don’t need a reason to help others makes me think I should help the cat. I’m going to choose wait a little longer this time and hope something magically happens.
Battle time. Ok beast mode! Zephyr charge again. OMG this is bleeping ridiculous. Stunned literally the WHOLE time down to 300 health. Desperate potion use finally allowed at 30 health. Ok now spam attack repeatedly. Yay just the big guy left! Wait are there two of them? When he walks forward to attack thers a weird graphical glitch and it looks like there are two of him.
Finally leveld up! But on the victory screen there is a glitch. I’m assuming it should show arrows for attributes that increased but instead it displays a bracket and a quotation mark. I think this happens when you translate scripts from other languages into English. Might want to search for that
Power ranger attack! Hyah!
RUN to the save spot. Then talk to kitty friend. Nice kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fuuuuuur. Sorry… ahem… ok. Kitty is the best character in this game so far. Can Kitty be the main character? I want to be kitty. I don’t know what kitty gave me, but I equip everything I have.
Interact with red crystals. Are they supposed to enter the codes on their own? Because they do. Could this have happened sooner? I’ll take it. Same thing happens to the other.
OK final room, I think I’ll clear this room and then stop playing. Hopefully some of the loose ends get tied up here. Or maybe this will be the end? Not sure if this is a full game.
Ok, crazy lady and fox guy that I don’t know who you are. And what do you mean “No guards” there was tons! Ok, battle time. HOLY BAZOONGAS LOOK AT THOS MASSIVE BREASTS!! OMG Great random Japanese talking. Was this a translated game? Or am I just supposed to not understand the characters? Hey I can finally use a skill! But she is massacring me so it doesn’t really matter. Geez! Trying to use healing potions but it keeps interrupting and not letting me use it. Now she does some crazy magic thing. Game over.
UGH, I’m determined to beat this now. Retry. Yadayadayada skip all their talking. Blah blah blah. Her laugh is ridiculous. I like the battle transition. I don’t know if its random or if I just didn’t notice it before. Battle time. This time, very liberally using healing potions so I don’t get locked out of them again.Great I wasted them all and didn’t even need to “win” the battle. Love the death scream. AUUUUUUUUUUUUGH.
Ok random people taunting me and talking about crap I don’t understand… KITTY! KITTY SAVE ME I LOVE YOU
Ok aftermath talking. I love that the fox is asked to “take out the trash”. Wtf? Blahde blah talking… do I take a last ditch boob grab or something? Lol Not sure what is happening. I like the music and the screen animations that are happening though.
More of this *****, Come heal me *****. Is this memory stuff a play off of Kingdom Hearts?
Random Haruto dude? Really? Haruto? Sounds like a certain Ninja fan…
OK really sure this is like Naruto now. The hidden demon offering me power from within?
Prologu end. KITTY Y U SO MAD? Even mad kitty is adorable. I like this choice idea, I remember reading in the game thread that the choices will each contribute to the ending so I like that.
Ok the font thing is weird. Just show all the font and don’t make me wait for it.
WOW the chapter screen is awesome. I have never seen that in an RM game and I really like it.
KITTY!!! I knew kitty would save me.. Wait, does kitty sleep on the floor now? I don’t want to take his bed. I get to name him?! I want to name him Mittens. Ew Chester? PLEASE let me name him. Who the heck names their cat Chester? Thanks for the supplies kitty, I equip them… wait… did I LOSE health? Wait now I have like half the health.
Also, in Kitty’s house (NOTE: I will NOT call him Chester!) there is a random pile of hay that I can walk into oddly. I don’t know why you would parallax this map but kudos for the effort, just fix that issue.
Overall this is FAR from a bad game. I really enjoyed it but some things could certainly be improved. There seemed to be a distinct problem with pacing and I should not have had so much difficulty playing the game. A lot of players I feel would have just given up but I pressed on in the name of reviewing!
The graphics and presentation style are outstanding. Love all the custom graphics, or even if they aren’t custom they are at least new to me. The music was ok. Like I said I was recording the video, and the video recorder mutes game whenever I was speaking so I didn’t like hear it too much but everything I did hear was nice, The exception to that is the Japanese voices. They make no sense. Either translate them so the are yelling in the right language, or get rid of them. And while you do so, get a voice actor that doesn’t sound like a 60 year old constipated man. I mean the hero looks like 16, he should not have some old man voice.
The story is not compelling to me. Vague stories are great to build intrigue, and I love that the exposition is very minimal so that you get right into the game but some things need to be explained. There are no hints at all. People just start talking about **** that I don’t know what is. I don’t care at all. And before the chapter ended I was told to “save the world”. WHY? I don’t have any connection to the world. Why does it fall on me, and how do I save it? And from what? Some random girl is the most powerful entity? Why? There are too many questions that are not answered and it does not compel me to move forward. Too many random things that are not explained.
There is no tutorial whatsoever. I had no clue how to use the battle system, which I did enjoy once I got into it, but there should have been some sort of introduction to battles, or some sort of gradual introduction to the system. And please for the love of god fix the broken battle system. Enemies need to either stun MUCH less frequently, or do less damage, or attack less or SOMETHING. I was plopped into these battles and it was pretty much “fight or die”. I think I died 5 times through this video. Most players I think will just stop after they get 1 or 2. I’m all for challenges, but I’m ONLY an hour into the game. I should not be dying this frequently.
The characters are not memorable at all. I don’t care about the main character. Kitty is a memorable character. And the evil Girl seemed memorable, but other than them I do not know who anybody else is, or even who I am? Again, exposition can be done in interesting ways. Too much exposition can be a bad thing, but this game is like the complete opposite. No exposition. I have no idea what I am doing.
Overall, if I had to give the game a rating, I would give it a 7.5. It is not a GREAT game (at least not yet) but it is better than an average game. And a lot of other RM games I’ve played. And it certainly has potential.
