Omg this game's like a hidden gold that I found ENTIRELY by accident. It's a cute game about making friends, BUT DAMN I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTER DESIGNS they all look so adorable and wow, they even made every single characters look different from eachother!! OH ALSO THE ENDING HAS A PLOT TWIST I DIDN'T EXPECT SO THAT WAS SOME GREAT STORYTELLING LOL. I couldn't believe I got this game for a really low price compared to other similar games I bought in the same genre. PLEASE give it a try, it's super chill but might take extra brain work on the conversation part (which is okay). I stumbled on a few danganronpa reference which is also funny since I also love that game >:D

△○□× simply doesn't miss. Over the past week, I've played through LiEat, Alicemare, and 1bitHeart, and 1BeatHeart, and all 4 have become some of my favorite indie releases of all time. The story and characters of all 4 games are so incredibly well-written, and the art is very well done. Looking at 1bitHeart, in particular, the game tackles some somber themes quite well through its 10ish hour run-time. The 49 characters in the game all have unique personalities and are each drawn super well. They all also add onto the amount and ways that each theme is handled, so no 2 characters feel like copies of one another. Some are simple, some are deep, and some are unsettling, which provides a great contrast to the game's initial cheery appearance. The game-play is also unique. A massive departure from LiEat and Alicemare, 1bitHeart implements bond times (think supports in Fire Emblem) with every single character, and it adds detective-like elements of deduction and interrogation, as well as some simple hacking mini-games. The interrogation aspect of the game is a lot of fun once you get it down, and it's a great way to progress the story. The spin-off sequel, 1BeatHeart, expands upon it a lot, throwing you into the shoes of the main companion of 1bitHeart, and having you solve murder mysteries, a la Sherlock Holmes. The sequel is an absolute blast, and the added character development is certainly welcome. All-in-all, 1bitHeart and its sequel are fantastic indies by △○□×. I highly recommend playing through them, as well as the other releases they have on offer.

Cute game, but beware that the best ending requires a LOT of grinding via mini-games. Like a LOT lot. The characters themselves were interesting but there were just too many to keep track of in my opinion. Designs and music were great as always though!

This was the first △○□× (Miwashiba) game I've pleyed and went in complitly blind and i got to say i was plesently suprised, especially by the art. The story was a bit weak it some parts, and i think it may have needed a bit longer to be completely fleshed out and my only real complain is probaply that the friendship mechanic got a bit boring after a while. Overall i had a great time playing and for the price i highly recommend trying it out.

I went into this game blind, not expecting much, and I'll say it was a quality use of my time. The design is gorgeous; in my opinion, everything looks super aesthetically appealing, and the way the colors blend together in each location is satisfying. Although befriending characters can be tedious, it lets you view each unique character design and learn their personalities. Following a guide makes the friend events move along much faster and is very helpful if you're not used to playing these kinds of games. The achievements are pretty simple, so if you don't want to read through all the dialogue, then there's a skip option, which makes things a lot faster. The main character, Nanashi, is very lovable and can be relatable at times, depending on your personality. Overall, I believe that this game was worth the money. It led me to discover that I really enjoy playing games of this genre, whether they are made by the same company or others.
