Cool but dreamscape section can be executed better.

Hey !The idea is quite good here but it a little too hard too get mana, hitting the ball correctly is quite difficult or i misunderstood how to play :/ . Btw great job still, there's a cool idea, nice music and graphics !

Cool game! Like the look and feel, personalities, and cool minigame, only wish would be hints/how to play!

I have no idea how to collect mana :( Pressing E throws me back to menu and other buttons do nothing. Is there something I missed?

@minjutin The dreamscape is a home run minigame, each homerun you score give one mana when you press E. The ball travels farther the closer to the centre of the yellow circle on the bat. Hope that helps and good luck dating them all :)

Finally some representation for the ancient art of baseballmancy! Really nice portraits as well!

It looks unfriendly, and I still haven’t figured out how to play and catch that ball, but the music is mesmerizing

Not obvious how to play. An explanation on how to play, tutorial or tips or a guide would have been welcome. Constructive feedback ; While your logic is solid, sometimes different perspectives can shed new light on a situation :)

The precision required to hit the mana ball makes it impossible. The mouse position is off-centre and the collider is way too small making the experience frustrating. The audio is nice though

Came back to listen to music again and figured out how to get mana. You should write that you need to press the left mouse button when the ball is in the circle to hit the ball, and E to get the final result

@jack12342 thank you, without you I'ld have never figured out what to do :') But ye the characters are nice and visual novel part cool, losing the balls after failed attempts was kinda frustrating tho since I was so bad with the home run game.

I managed to get mana, but how do we know which combinations of colors work?

cambryx 2024-04-20 14:14

Cool game! But as others have said, the minigame is a bit too difficult :D

I liked the hand painted aesthetic of the art and the ethereal music which are quite befitting the style of the game and I can see the potential. With a little polishing it can be far more accessible. For instance, some kind of indicator for the mana catching device in dreamscape and better explanation of the ricochet mechanic can be beneficial. Also, it could be much better if the resources are not wasted in a wrong summoning process.
