Everhood

Part 2, baby!! Loving this game more & more every time I play it!!

I'm still at the begining of the game, yet it's pretty amazing. The style is very Undertale like, but this is a totally new game. The "combat", in this game is amazing as well. This should be put onto steam, although Toby Fox might see you trying to copy him a little. It's worth the shot though, isn't it?

Welll played and beat it sooo, here is my opinion:

1) I love the art in the battles but the scenarios can have some work (i don´t mean a LOT but a little of assets on the floor, some props, and some "info npcs").

2) I loved the selection of music, specially the battle with death, that one was a lot of fun to pla yagainst and to hear... And i kinda like how weird and fusion like some of the music is...

3) I kinda like more "gamplay" to the gaeplay outside of dodging, like attacking the guy or some items....nothing too fancy.

4) I loved the energy system of this game, it s make mistakes a little more forgiving that is usual on this type of genre...Makes the game more accesible wghitout making it too easy...Really good call on this department.

I enjoyed, and i want to play a little more

(If i mispell something, sorry, i usually talk Spanish)

The game, for me, was a nice experience, the sync of the music and attacks give the battles a magic touch.

The characters are unique, and the sprites are WOW.

The music, is soooo good! I really enyoed it!

However, there are some minor bugs, like taking random damage when jumping a normal attack, or save loss.

I am looking forward to see more of this fantastic proyect.

9/10

Oh my God, GENO IS CONFRIMED FOR SMASH!

Ok, i'm basically just going to say what i'm sure alot of people said. I loved the fight system,I enjoy the artstyle,I look forward to more of the game,I loved the last fight, have a good day.(I actually could'nt find anything bad about this game.)

The battle system is fun, and I love the art style. Although you could add a little more variety to attacks. Other than that, this game is great.

Warning: way too long review incoming

Great game, at least one of the best iv'e seen on itch.io. It has some very good design overall. The music is good, the gameplay is also very fun and the difficulty is very well balanced. Hard enough that i couldn't beat anyone first try, but FAR from "getting your head bashed into a brick wall" difficulty. Came inn expecting a full game and was a bit dissapointed when i saw it wasn't one, but it was still very fun as i said. 

It could use some details in areas like the club, like maybe the other npc's on the dance floor would change their dialouge after the fight. Also the battle in the incinerator is kinda weird and unexplained. I hope (if kept), that it is explained/fleshed out in a full release. 

In addition as mengtioned, the areas like the club could have some more detail and polish, also graphically like adding a couple small details too keep it up with the level of visual polish that the rest of the game has. (at least in my opinion)

 The one additional complaint i maybe have is that dying feels a bit wrong when the game just fades away. Some animations would be very nice and maybe seeing the enemies celebrate and stop attacking would help. 

Also i hope that this game does not become too much of a meta game like undertale or OneShot. Those games are great, but if this game does not have anything to add to that table, i hope that it instead focuses on a seperate story that is not too "meta" (looking at itself as a game, characters knowing about functions like saving etc.) Maybe something like Just shapes and beats. That brakes a lot of conventions, but still keeps the imersion and doesn't break the forth wall.

Overall it is a very fun, well designed and challenging game. Though it need this much more polish (squinting my fingers with less than a millimeter of space between them). The battles fellt very nice and had a lot of game "juice" and i overall enjoyed this game/demo a lot. I usually don't use rating scores but i would probably give this a 9.5/10.

 (also i used way too much time to write this review/comment or whatever, but i hope it helps. Also sorry for my (probably) countless of missspellings. English is not my native language)

The first thing I thought of was, "Is That GENO?!?!?"

I downloaded this game during school today instead of doing my classwork and I gotta say, I absolutely loved it. The fairytale aesthetic mixed with musical gameplay was amazing. I was blown away when I started playing. The only problem I had with this game was the weird random encounter at the incinerator, it was a fun battle but it came out of nowhere and left me confused. It might be cleared in full game, and other than that I had a blast playing this game and I can't wait till the full game is released. 

This game is pretty awesome! I think my favorite area was the club. To me the other areas, with the all black backgrounds and minimal terrain detail, felt more empty than dream-like. More the outside of the club than the Gold Pig's VIP room. But I thought the aesthetics of the fights were really unique, a really cool mix of 3D and retro graphics with the ATM fight. But overall I thought all the fights were awesome, I liked the dialogue, and the music is definitely a strong suit for the game. If you guys ever decided to do a kickstarter or gofundme I'd definitely throw some cash at it. I really think this game is something special and I would absolutely play a full version.

this is a really great game, and i gotta say, even as hard as it is, i had fun playing it and i'm going to suggest that my friends take a look at this, 10/10! (yes i did beat the whole demo as is)

Wow, thanks for making this.  I was feeling down today, but I discovered it and thought... Huh. I stopped on the ATM machine battle (cute/evil/hilarious enemy btw) because I keep dying. But I want to say, this is really unique.  Great use of music as gameplay with sweet sounds, cute characters & funny dialogue. 

Good luck to you all. I'll be following this project and coming back. I like it. It reminds me why Indie Games are cool.

The game told me to leave a comment so I thought why not.

I was just bored today and decided to go onto itch.io to play a game. I saw this was free and the game looked like quite alot of fun. So I got it and this is probably one of the best games I have ever played. Everhood does have quite basic mechanics which is good but it doesn't improve on the way the game works in any fight other than different sized notes and faster paced action. Other than that I enjoyed roaming around the realm inside this game and found it quite original. 

power ups like you gold get one that gives you more helth bars or you cold get one that makes the lines in the songs slower or make them smaller not the song the lines in the song

This game is like Undertale with Dancing.

(Put that on the box)

And that's a really good thing. I played through the normal mode today and holy wow this shows some real potential for an awesome game. It definitely has some of the hallmarks of an unfinished game, some areas, specifically the night club felt a little bit unfinished, with the all blue wall texture, but that very well may have been a Stylistic choice, in which case, it was fine. My only major complaint is with the over world, the player felt a bit slippery, and a little slow over long stretches. I would suggest either speeding the player up, or, (And this is probably a better idea) shortening some of the space between areas just a little bit. Not a lot, but just enough to speed up some sections. Obviously you should keep some sections longer for dramatic effect, but some random in between areas felt a little long.

Other than that, the intro where the weird rainbow drug trip is talking to you feels a little long, and especially being able to choose no and then having to re watch the entire thing was a tad bit annoying. I'd recommend being able to push a button to speed the text up, like in Pokemon games.

I felt that this game was overall a really wonderful experience, it was really weird and interesting, and the mix of 3D and 2D and the dynamic camera zoom in some areas of fights were just so cool. The developers did a good job of capturing that Undertale vibe while mixing their own unique mechanics and ideas with it.

I really liked it however i feel like the difficulty could be tweaked a bit (granted this is me after only playing on easy mode, will make another comment after normal.) as i found red tie to be way harder than the fight rush soon after

I found the puzzle to be a bit too hard and could be tweaked because while you do get a rough idea of the notes its generally within a 1 note range of the actual solution. And this section get's tedious as you have to move back and forth to hear the melody

I do belive in the full game there should be more puzzles like this (Not puzzles in this format just more like it)

Another thing that should be in the full game is better settings, sound levels, 3 modes of difficulty and more.

And if there is a deeper story it definetly shouldn't be totally driven by a lost arm

But overall for all this nitpicking it really was a great experience and i am wanting to see how it'll grow

you should make it where you get powers to help you through the game

could use a song length-thingie so people now for how long they need to survive
