Lucifer: Aside from a few minor issues with the controls I thought it was a lot of fun. It had decent challenges that weren’t infuriating to accomplish, which is good considering your target demographic are girls between the ages of 8 to 14. That was also nice for me because I hate getting PTSD flare-ups when I’m frustrated about something. The endgame boss challenges look like a step up from the other stuff but I’m not worried about that.
The graphics are cute. I enjoyed the aesthetics & cinematic cutscenes. You look adorable in all your different outfits. I enjoyed the music. It fits your style. Your game has quite a few catchy jingles that are still running through my head. I might download a few so I can listen to them when I want some chill background music.
I loved seeing all your little 4th wall break acknowledgements to me. Considering this is your first solo title you did some impressive work directing Nintendo from where you are. You should be proud of how much you’ve grown as a character because you shine as a heroine; and I don’t mean that to sound punny considering the theme of your game. I mean that with all sincerity. Showtime has a lot of charm that’s unique to you.
I would have liked checkpoints to restart from when I was collecting sparkles but that’s a minor criticism. Replaying or restarting a level was a slight inconvenience but it never got to the point that I was ready to rage quit over it. I understand why something like that wasn’t implemented from a developer perspective.
All in all, I enjoyed your game almost the entire time I played it. I say almost because there were a couple of times that I was cranky do to personal issues outside your game. When that happened I shut it off & took a break to calm down before playing again. When I was in a neutral mind-frame your game was delightful. Getting back on point, Showtime made me wish that you had more solo titles of your own. I get so tired of Mario hogging the spotlight. He’s like the Mickey Mouse of video games.

Lucifer: Your game is a lot of fun, Peach. It’s got a chill vibe that suits you with a pleasant learning curve that doesn’t make me want to smash a controller into the ground. Like I said before, you should be proud of yourself because this was a great introduction to you as a protagonist. Don’t listen to shitty reviews. Those idiots don’t know the first thing about what goes into making a decent video game.
Peach: (blushing & beaming) Thank you, Luci. I’ve been waiting to hear your honest feedback. I appreciate you not telling me things that you think I want to hear. I hope you’re not anyway.
Lucifer: I’m being straight with you, Peach. I enjoyed your game. Where I am in life it’s 100% my speed. Your game is a refreshing break from all the crap that’s over-saturating the industry.
Peach: (blushing smile) That means a lot to me hearing you say that. Thank you, Luci.
Lucifer: You’re welcome, hun. You should be proud of yourself. You knocked it out of the park as far as I’m concerned.
Peach: (blushing smile)
Lucifer: Now we just need to get rid of that fat annoying midget & his lizard lover.
Peach: (elated laughter) One step at a time, Luci. I’m working on it.
Lucifer: (snickering) I know, hun. I’m just playing with ya.
Peach: (smirking) In more ways than one these days.
Lucifer: (robust laughter) Ya got me there, darling. You are a peach to play with.
Peach: (mirthful laughter) I love you, Luci. Thank you.
Lucifer: (charismatic smile) I love you back, hun; and you are more than welcome. Congratulations.
Peach: (blushing & beaming)
