Ratings and reviews

Did not disappoint! This game has more endings and drawings than buffstudio's other rpg styled games. Better yet, they removed the finicky likeness bar feature on each character. Instead, they compact it to one M.T.P system which determine different endings. The characters are unique too. They are memorable and throughly explored in the game, my favorite is Flare! Lastly, the music and SFX were perfectly timed and complimented each scene of the story. A truly engaging experience for a few bucks.

This seems like a super cute game. I love story games that I control what happens. Me and this Oober driver are about to be besties. I'm stoked lol 😜 simple gameplay and art style, but visually it's adorable and it has an intriguing story with some fun and unique character personalities. Glad I gave this game a shot, I think everyone should ☺️

this is the second time i played through one of buff studio's games and i must say i once again enjoyed the storyline and the character dynamics. i enjoyed collecting the achievements and endings, and i for one must say that this was quite a fun experience. check if the game is your style or not, it sure is mine
