BABE WAKE UP ACT TWO IS JUST DROPPED!! the way i sped to download this help lol. the BACKGROUNDS??? theyre SO cool i love them. also love the new art and sprites thats been added for part 2! also can i say i appreciate how nuanced the writing is to all its characters and situations? grahh i adore it.. im excited to see the many tribulations that will occur to these guys beacuse wow dude..!!! that cliffhanger is gonna keep me SPIRALLINGGG till then... i cant wait for act 3 alr! (jk i can wait this game deserves the time it needs to COOK)
THIS WAS PROBABLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE VISUAL NOVELS OF THIS YEAR! I'm a big fan of voice acting visual novels, this game intrigued me especially since I've never played a visual novel that involved Magical Girls!
Act 2 is a colossal improvement, I felt the nuances of the writing start to reveal themselves and fill a lot of the questions that I had, forming a much better mold of the characters that give the cast a much-desired amount of independence from the first impressions and tropes that were established.
Albeit further proving (at least to me) the title is misleading, I felt much more attachment and relatability within not only Tab but the rest of the casts' viewpoints on the events of the game.
I feel somewhat vilified in seeing TMGIAB not only reach a Steam release but better establish its main plot threads and while I see the adherence to identifiable tropes as a bit of a constraint, it's great to see the game hasn't let it be a constraint when engaging me in the story.
While the twists are a bit...unexpected (I don't know whether I mean that as a positive), I still felt enthralled in the plot the game was following, and I'm excited to see where Act 3 heads next.
Obviously I'd be amiss to not mention Robin's jawbreaking vocal set piece and overall fantastic performance (get this mf a grammy), as well as the rest of the casts' improvements as they start to settle with the roles more (tay fern's still goated), along with the bettered sound design and art all around (respect to that 3d CG artist). in other words game got good
This was a great demo!! Tabbie definitely lives up to the title!
One question, is the game over screen also a CG? It didn't show up on the Extras, yet I'm still missing one CG.
Had an absolute blast playing the demo. So much so that I only played the Monday portion because I wanna have even more to dig into once the game's finished.
This was seriously amazing. The style is incredible, the writing is snappy as hell, the music fits so well. The entire tone of what you're doing here is PERFECT. I really can't wait to see how all this winds up.
Best of luck on the rest of development. I'll be eagerly waiting to play day one.
this was so good and funny !! i loved it so much !! the art and the voice acting and doesn't feel like i'm just reading a vn, but it's like i'm watching a show ! tabitha is such a huge brat but i kinda love her lol and all the characters are likable and fun !! my personal fav rn is eden huhu -- brilliant game!
my heart kinda skipped a beat when i saw mr. teacher turn into a monster i mean COUGH OCUGHCOUGCIGUOUGCOUGH
The UI looks amazing. The magical girl transformation left me in awe! Seeing her magical girl form made me laugh so much. The humor has been pretty great and you really nailed middle-school angst. The VA-team did a great job and really brought the characters to life!
Demo definitely left me with wanting more!
An absolute delight! I adore how incredibly expressive the characters are (both visually and in the wonderful voice acting!); the overall style is slick and polished, the music is bright and engaging, and the premise is great fun. Terrific work--I look forward to seeing more!
I'm gonna punt one of these kids into the sun and the other's going straight into orbit around Jupiter. I'm not telling which, but 13/10, looking forward to viciously mocking Kid B more. (this is a joke, this is a joke-- except that i really enjoyed this, i'm being very sincere about that)
Thank you so much! Hahaha did not expect so many ppl to fall in love with Mr.Teacher (internal team included) when I pitched his people pleasing personality!
It was so much fun to write his Halloween lesson and POV after class heheh 🤭
This game is so polished! I'm impressed you were able to put it together during the time constraints of the jam; there are so many great details in this!
The art is great, and it's so expressive! It's fun that the characters have so many poses (especially Tabbie); it makes the story feel more dynamic and lively. It also gives it this more cartoony vibe, which I feel was maybe the intention? It's less static than a lot of VNs; even some commercial ones.
The music is really fun and fitting (the main menu song is especially catchy), and the SFX when you hover over the buttons in the menus is really satisfying lol (I might have spent a while just hovering over the buttons just for those nice sounds lmao)
Ah, I really liked the custom cursor and the sparkly trails that come from it in the main menu too, it's a fun effect. I kind of wish the effect had been extended into the main game too, since it's very ~satisfying~ to watch the sparklies, but I understand why you didn't (it would probably get in the way lol)
And the VA is really good too! Everybody sounds so enthusiastic! It sounds like everybody was having a good time!
The story itself seems interesting enough. I wonder if there's some CCS influence with the pixie designs? I found Tabbie to be a bit of a grating character tbh (her design is cute, but her personality... absolutely isn't haha), but I suppose she's fairly realistic for an obnoxious middle schooler. My favourite character is probably Calem; his more measured way of speaking + all his fancy long words got the most laughs out of me (especially Tabbie's dry 'can you please use words with less than three syllables' lol).
You all did a great job...
Oh, and this should go without saying, but the Itchio page looks gorgeous too!!!
It was definitely not easy in the slightest. Our team had 21 people on board, including our 9 voice actors, and all of them are incredibly talented folx. We really rallied to help each other, supported each other with memes to fuel our sanity, and we held to a tight production schedule to finish with enough time to allow several days for just polishing. It was a lot, very quickly, but we managed it somehow! lol! - So glad you enjoyed the game!
This game is so fucking good!!! I love the music, I love the artstyle, I love the character designs, I love the voice acting, I especially love the writing, it's all so amazing!!! Everyone at Team Pastel Knight, keep up the good work!!!
This game is amazing. It has watered my crops and saved my children. I plan to sell my mortal soul to the developers soon so that they may prosper on this earth. Also Eden is nice I like him a lot. You should give him a weapon.
holy moly mc'dudes. actually the greatest thing ever like genuienely. thats not even how u write that word but i dont care u know what i mean. wowza yowza is this amazing
Just finished the demo, and it's awesome! I love the art style, the CG backgrounds, and the voice acting! It's one, neat, Halloween-themed game! Can't wait for what will come of all of this in the future! Keep up the great work!

Edit: Yup, amazing.
Had an absolute blast playing the demo. So much so that I only played the Monday portion because I wanna have even more to dig into once the game's finished.

This magical girl has amazing character design.
The UI looks amazing. The magical girl transformation left me in awe! Seeing her magical girl form made me laugh so much. The humor has been pretty great and you really nailed middle-school angst.

There's a reason why Mister Teacher is listed in our content warnings. 😆
