I've never watched the series, and I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I LOVE MEMBER INTRO SONGS. Something special about characters each taking turns to show how they'll burrow into your brain.

Next step: grind scraps and material to 100% the game.

Ender Magnolia feels like a fresh take while still not losing the core appeal of Ender Lillies (Counters, among other things) - trading eldritch nun monsters for machinery and blight for fumes. Outside of some annoying hidden rooms (I cheated on a couple), it was a smooth adventure. Massive props.

Speaking of relationships, Ender Magnolia starts off with one of its biggest changes: the main character talks.

Seriously though, I love that there's more talking in the game. Spirits get more personality, and you even get small skits. Really helps you avoid losing track of who's who.

Without getting into spoiler territory, the relationship between the main character and the bosses you encounter are a lot more direct. Whereas Ender Lillies focused on the decaying of the world, Ender Magnolia's major throughline feels very personal, with a focus on loss and relationships.

Ender Magnolia is fun but man, has it been a roller coaster of "am I actually good at this game?"

Will say, Mash Up Dual Sides does kinda go crazy. They were kinda cooking on the music side of things.

I also really should turn off Sticky Keys

Confirmed that all levels of the tutorial are still the tutorial. So I guess RIP to people who just like the track. I'm sure there's probably some harder sections but with all love and affection for this game, I'm not sitting through the tutorial two more times to see what's different.
