>>26707749I'm ~15 minutes in and here are my critiques so far:
-Battles are very slow, move animation take too long
-The music doesn't loop properly, there is no "obtained item" sound for certain things, and the ledge jumping sound effect is too loud compared to the music
-I like the horizontal scrolling move selection
-I have no idea whether you obtain the running shoes later, but I can't get the run feature to work. If the running shoes are an item you obtain later on, you should introduce running controls to the player when they receive them rather than in the beginning.
-The fact that b and start are the same button triggers me
-The aesthetic of the first route and town are very nice, good job.
