#squid rambles

really really liked the platforming gimmick and how the final boss shook up gameplay, even if i sucked balls at it

i liked the enemy designs, the crow-yoshi-fella was cute and the beetle enemies having beatles songs quotes was funny

the flower human designs were also so cool, seeing the closest thing to an official interpretation of the 6 fallen humans was (my favourite character-wise was green but i liked blue's design the most)

and the sequence where you say goodbye to them was heartbreaking

as was the sequence where ralsei properly loses his shit at flowery

tbh i kinda expected the festival to be longer/more of a big deal

the japanese theme felt kinda out of place/random, like… it was super pretty, i just wish it had been more garden-focused and outside of asgore having an anime™ in his house i don't really see why it was such a huge influence

there is going to be so much asgore x flowery yaoi oh my god

lesbians real

really homing in on the escapism huh, susie referring to castle town as 'home' (and then kris standing outside) was such a good gut punch at the end

i'm going to have flowery's boss theme stuck in my head forever good lord

i liked the fourth wall breaking jokes with the options menu, i didn't turn off ralsei but i'm kinda curious what happens if you do (edit: i was informed of what happens)
