Holy fuck this chapter sucked. Absolutely NO story progression of any kind, the lesbian romance is trying to have pay off despite not having any BUILD UP (maybe there could've been build up if noelle was IN THE FUCKING GAME), the festival they spent years foreshadowing was absolutely NOTHING, no more relevance than any other random cutscene. Nothing has been done with sans, Berdly, Rudy, Noelle's mom, Undyne, Mike, Friend, fucking ANYBODY. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT!
The side scrolling segments are mid and just make me wish I was playing a real sidescroller, the music is forgettable, hell even the secret boss's theme isn't noteworthy. Speaking of, WTF!?!? WHY MAD MEW MEW!?! NO BUILD UP, NO RELATION TO ANY THEMES OR CHARACTERS IN THIS CHAPTER OR IN THE ENTIRE GAME!!!! There's just a secret boss for the sake of having a secret boss. So much for "not doing the same thing over and over". Mad mew mew was my breaking point. All these fast bullet patterns and gimmick mini games for what? It hasn't earned it. I was just annoyed. Mad mew mew isnt even a flower, or anything. Just some random manga asgore had in his flower shop cuz he's gay. Literally didn't fucking matter at all. I knew this chapter would be bad as soon as Seam told me the mannequin would be good for the secret boss. Sums up deltarune's entire trajectory. You obtain some weird mannequin only Kris can use in Chapter 2, as body armor for some reason? Seemingly no defensive value, even the item description says it's useless, but looking at the game's code it helps you resist... Cat damage? What could this mean? Could this have some relevance to Friend? Perhaps foreshadowing our puppet, the mannequin we've possessed, Kris, being the only thing that can resist this evil cat creature Thing? No. It's just good against a pointless optional boss 3 chapters and 5 years later. Totally what we had in mind when making chapter 2, promise.
