PROS: Be prepared to be surprised at how good the actual gameplay mechanics are in this game. I'm a big fan of bullet hells like Vampire survivors and this game measures up. The premise is you fight hoards of slimes/crabs and more to make money for your hotel, and buy gifts for the female residents. That aspect of the game is top tier. The different weapons and upgrades feel noticeably different from each other and they've managed to balance them really well too. I've played a few runs now and I never felt like I lost because RNG gave me "bad" weapons/items. It's a fun and rewarding twist on your usual inn keeper type games.
CONS: I do have some negative feedback, but I know this game is early in development and by that metric it still deserves 5 stars. I know these sort of problems are to be expected and they didn't spoil the game at all. That being said:
Great work so far! looking forward to seeing more
CONS: I do have some negative feedback, but I know this game is early in development and by that metric it still deserves 5 stars. I know these sort of problems are to be expected and they didn't spoil the game at all. That being said:
- It's possible to get an item which does no damage as your first pick up. So you kind of just have to sit there till your health runs out. It's easy to jump back in again so it's not a huge issue but it'd be great if you could set it up so a weapon always comes first, or items are greyed out.
- I can't find the error log now, but the game did crash during one run and I'm not sure why. Only once though. Sorry I wish I could be more specific!
- the menu's need back buttons or X's. Or if they are there I can't see them. I was pressing Escape and that worked but it also asked me if I wanted to close the game.
- I have a couple of other thoughts about the romance side of the game but I'm guessing this will change a lot over the course of development. It's a little unclear if you're making progress right now. I noticed the heart meter but it would be cool if there was more signposting.
Great work so far! looking forward to seeing more
