Very polished, clear interface, and lots of elements that add to the game such as voice acting. The visuals are really clear and well-done, making full use of the resolution provided. This is a very good game given the time constraints.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The voice acting for the cute\/passive-aggressive monster isn't my thing but is probably really appealing for a wide audience. Gameplay is a little clunkier on a laptop as it relies so much on switching between powers which is awkward using a touchpad and number keys. Minor interface issues include the cursor blocking the description of a power at the bottom of the screen."},{"author_name":"cyrixd","author_uid":"47064","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 6:41am","epoch":1440484560,"text":"Very pretty game, with good humor and great audio design!
