(Sorry for the errors in the text, if any)

I would like to note the positive and negative points that I encountered during the three-hour passage. Let's go!

~ Optimization - 1 point of 1

First of all, I want to mention the excellent optimization - at least my ancient computer mastered 60 FPS! Everything went smoothly, there was not a single reset of the game, much less hard freezes and so on.

~ The variety of endings - 0.9 points of 1

I like the endings suggested by the developers. They really reveal the variants of the course of events from different sides. Despite the fact that we are talking about geno endings, among them there are endings with the most favorable outcome, and vice versa. I wanted to see Kris die in battle with Noelle, who could have been turned against them thanks to Susie (this would have been a way to mark the INDEPENDENCE of the characters, which is certainly there in Deltarune).

It should be noted that among all the endings there is a canonical one. This is really very important, and it's cool!

~ Secrets - 1 point of 1

Unfortunately, I was only able to collect 6 achievements out of 8 and was very desperate to get the fastest mercy for Noelle, but... I was terribly unlucky, but I probably achieved a good result! It would be unfair to lower the grade because of my own ineptitude, so I give 1 point out of 1. I hope many will be able to reveal all the secrets!

PS. I've discovered all the achievements! The secret ending is great in every sense!

~ Music - 1 point of 1

The game combines tracks from both the original game and those written specifically for Deltarune: Frozen Heart. I will especially note the one that plays during the battle with Spamton Neo (written for DELTARUNE: A Different Snowgrave) - it is great and made me freeze for a couple of minutes, realizing the presence of Mettaton . Speaking of the new tracks, I should note their fairly accurate accordance with the Deltarune style.

~ Characters - 1 point of 1

In this section, I want to highlight two scenes:

1. A conversation between Susie and Noelle in front of the fountain. It is very touching and perfectly shows the depth of their feelings. Thank you for such a pleasant moment

2. The finale after Susie's death. In Deltarune, seeing Birdly "sleeping", Noelle does not realize what she has done under the influence of Kris. In this game, having also killed Susie, she finally comes to an understanding. The way it was presented made me very happy!

~ Bugs - 0.9 points of 1

I only got a bug once during the main battle with Noelle. When it was necessary to lower the value of 100% of Noelle's TP scale, I used Tension Absorb. However, for some unknown reason, the action did not work, and Noelle used a deadly spell. It was very unpleasant to lose!

~ The overall impression - 1 point of 1

I really liked this game! Obviously two years (right?) the developments were not in vain. It was a great time, thanks for the impressions!

The result: 6.8 points of 7 - excellent

Got to test the utmp pixel art thing...

The problems don't want to recede, but even in this turbulent flow of events, I find a little time to do what I love.

Here's a small fragment of the drawing (I know it's hands again ), although I think it's quite enough to create a bit of intrigue.
