YAY!
Finally!
Can't wait to see this flourish!

So I played the playtest and wanted to give my thoughts on it, I really enjoy the ideas presented and the concept, but it needs a lot of adjustments and changes. First of all, the UI is way too cluttered, I understand that there are more complex mechanics so there might need to be more elements to represent them. But honestly some just feel unnecessary like the middle screen showing your current party members health and the status screen could just be represented by expanding the side bar to show these elements better. The description for the abilities appearing at the very top of the screen draws your eye away from most of the UI which is disorienting and the descriptions for the abilities themselves are lackluster and don't really explain what they do. For example, Evan's "save" ability feels like it's intended to heal given it's description, however it instead appears to be intended to give a status effect which you wouldn't assume given the name. If the description box is going to be so big I feel a more detailed explanation for abilities is to be expected.

Now for the fight itself, I genuinely feel like in it's current state it isn't winnable, which might be because the party is missing a member and the gear you have is for when you start and this fight seems to be a fight later on but it's still worth noting if that isn't the intent. Many of the enemies attacks feel overly hard to dodge, particularly the worms attack from the crab enemy, the soundwave attack from the prototype, and the rocket attack. This is due to a look of proper telegraphing and how it again feels visually cluttered when these attacks are used. The soundwave attack has no cue for when it is going to come out of the prototype, the worms are very hard to predict where they are going, and the rocket attack is confusing since the reticle is red, which is the same color as the other attacks which makes it easy to confuse as another attack. However, while these attacks are hard together, when the other enemy is defeated the fight becomes way too easy, as often the singular attacks are significantly easier. Also the time limit feels a bit too harsh, as even when you do manage to kill one of the enemies, the other ones attacks take far too long to finish and you can't output enough damage to kill it completely.

Sorry if this comment was a bit too long I just wanted to get my thoughts out quickly, I still think this game has a lot of potential and could be really fun, but the difficulty and UI design could use a bit more work. I hope this game does well in the future and I hope you have fun with making it!
