I would love for this game to be expanded upon in the future.

So my computer crashed just as I started playing this. My number one issue with the game so far is that you have to click on all the speech bubbles to progress the dialogue. You can't just click anywhere on the screen. No. You have to click on the individual speech bubble, and they pop in and out all over the screen. It's annoying. So incredibly annoying.

The art however is LOVELY and the animations, dialogue, etc. is silly and fun.

To be honest, though, the thought of going through all that dialogue bubble clicking all over again just to get where I was before.... *weeps*
