Discovered this recently and I really just wanted to let you know how in love I am with the art in this game. The doll collection as the windowskins clued me in that I was gonna be charmed immediately!!
I know it's been a long time since you've posted anything about this game (esp since you seem really busy), but if an update is ever possible, I'll certainly come running <3
Not only is the art lovely, but I think this has been the most thematically sound DDJ5 game I've played yet. The ballet dancing, the porcelain dolls and statues with their implications of timeless beauty and youth...this manages to strike an effective balance between the symbolic and the surreal, and that can be very hard to accomplish.
Found some bugs: 1) You can keep picking up the knife. I have 8 knives in my current save file :P 2) Found another collision issue where you can go off the tiles in the uh...candy clouds?
I'm playing a bunch of ddj5 games today but I'm definitely coming back to this one to finish it. Got 4 effects. Still haven't figured out how to get any dolls though!
Thank you for your thoughts! I do have some specific themes I want to imply through the imagery so I'm glad it shows. I'll patch the bugs soon thanks for letting me know.
As for the dolls, there is a doll seller who jumps around the dream locations so they might be hard to find. When you find them you can buy some dolls for your collection so keep some coins around just in case! :)
I enjoyed this game so much! The art style is gorgeous, great work on the pixel art! I'm very much looking forward to more! I found an issue where once I used the flower effect my speed increased quite a bit and there were a few collision issues (such as some of the dolls in the birthday world) but nothing game breaking. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
