I know there's proof that the funny indie game is a paper Mario clone but
It's unique.
I'll tell you a few other things that'd fix the game
Bug fixes: the game often gets you stuck on a point for a long time without being able to jump out, assets of certain friends are glitched, sometimes you glitch out etc, at least a bug fixing patch would make the game less buggy and a little better
Replayability: you know you only have out of all the 60 friends you can make you can only fight 59 (because of mosslow) and after you get all of them, there's nothing else to do, except collect thoughts, which gets tedious at one point, give us the ability to replay fights??? Or more friends perhaps??
Redo the cutscenes: they are so damn horrible, weird, the characters are too stiff, the expressions look weird, everything looks odd because it's in a rigging software, I'm not against rigging, because it's an easier way to animate (idfk-) but try to redo your rigs and make them look more on the art style it's trying to encapsulate, and damn the dance scene is horrible
More expression: make the characters scream/hj
