Berry

This is my review from Steam. Sorry for the wall of text, I hope this is welcome on Itch, but please leave a comment letting me know if it's rude so I know to leave things shorter in the future!

Playtime: Takes ~60 minutes to complete a playthrough. Takes ~4 hours to get every ending if done wisely.

Art: The art is simple, but done in a way that is very satisfying to the eyes. The cutscenes are very nice as well. The animations are great.

Narrative: This game has a very touching story with multiple endings (6 if I'm not mistaken). It's a small—but great—story that elevates this game to the next level. There is lots of comedic dialogue in between the main story that keeps your attention and is likely to give you a few good laughs.

Gameplay: This game is an Orthogonal 3D Platform that feels really nice to play. The pacing is done well and I felt into it the whole time I was playing. It can be pretty slow walking around, so I expect that some people will be a bit put off, but you're not usually backtracking if that helps.

Sound/Music: The music is pretty nice and fits the game well. It's not the soundtrack of the year or anything, but it's pretty good. The sound design in this game is very nice and gives the game a good gamefeel.

Overall: This game has great gameplay that is paced very well. The level design is fantastic and is likely to keep you engaged while you play. The art, music, and sound are all done well and make the game enjoyable to walk through. The narrative is the best part of this game. I think that most people will really enjoy the simple—yet touching—story.

I would pay $5 for this game (I paid $10 to support this amazing developer), although, if it was $5 I would hope for a bit more gameplay. You should definitely take the time to play this game to enjoy the story and gameplay, and I encourage anybody who reads this to leave a review that fairly critiques the game so that hopefully the developer can learn and make an even better game next time!

To the Developer: Please take the time to make some changes to your game's Steam Page. I'm giving you these critiques because I think your game is really amazing and I want many others to have the chance to play it.

I would strongly encourage you to change your game's thumbnail especially; it didn't really capture my attention that well. The video also isn't that appealing in my opinion. It doesn't drag me in that much. The pictures are good, but not great. The description however I think is well done, but many people do not look at the description. I didn't even look until I was reviewing your Steam Page to give you advice. I am only one person and these are just my opinions, but I think others would agree.

This was an amazing game, I will definitely be following your development journey and I am absolutely going to donate on Itch. This was a fantastic game and I had a really great time playing it! I can't wait to see more from you in the future.

Leaving my review as a comment, because this game is five stars from me!

Making fun and engaging platformers is hard, making good top-down platformers is hard, and doing so in RPGmaker is sometimes even harder, so stumbling upon this game I wasn't sure what sort of quality to expect. Berry blows my expectations out of the water - the platforming elements in Berry ramp up and add more and more as you progress through the short but sweet story. This is a game that feels fun to play, sometimes challenging, but always rewarding to succeed at - and hides a few nice secrets along the way. This game is not only a shining example of the capabilities of the engine, it stands as a great game all on its own. Lovely, sweet, challenging, and fun!
