Unfortunately I encountered a lot of bugs with this game. You can get softlocked when you defeat the slime vase, and it seems like you can also interact with them again as the fight is starting, which makes the dialogue overlap with the actual battle (and then softlock at the end of the fight). These bugs made it nearly impossible to play the game for me. It was kind of an interesting puzzle to solve how to defeat the boss, but as an RPG it was very shallow, having just 2 rooms with 2 enemy types total. Overall, this is a fine start for a game but you should be careful with the way you check inputs on your next game. I think you might be using an is_key_pressed or is_action_pressed when you really want is_action_just_pressed.

I did it, I defeated the Slime Boss! Very good roots for an RPG, definitely has a lot of room to grow but you have the basics here for sure! Nice job. :)

This is a humble showcase of a very good base for an RPG, but it still threw me to quite a journey in its short duration. I first foolishly decided to face the ruler of the slimes head on, but to no avail, my slime preventing powers were way too weak! I had to find a way to get stronger, so i checked the room above me and found a guy who agrees with my plan and tracks my current level, it was not what I was looking for, but I got motivation to press on. Then, I decided to check a conveniently placed vase in the first room and wouldn't you look at that, there were two slimes inside of it! Afterwards, I tried facing the slime boss again, but I was still so weak! I did try to find a secret entrance into a third room, trying all sorts of things like Konami code, talking to the level tracking guy for god knows how many times, but I eventually realized that the vase was not ordinary vase, but instead a vase that held an infinite number of slimes! With that knowledge and with Eye of the Tiger playing in the background, Ive managed to accumulate enough strength to defeat the evil slime king once and for all and save the kingdom from the eternal slimeage! Nicely done!

Spamming A next to the vase for 45 seconds is the key strategy I've learned lol. Even if you had less time than you wanted, this was still fun imo. Nice job!

Very nice! I really like the gameboy aesthetic and the general art style.  Also was there no sound or was that an issue on my end? If not it's all good just wondering.  

I was surprised to see an RPG. And I appreciate the Game Boy greens. Bravo!

Cute slime! Was fun leveling up against the vase summons, even beat the hat, but the game kept lockup up - maybe on levelups when they happened while in combat, not sure whats going on there.

Anyway ,thank you for the game <3

i didnt encounter any bugs, but i thought i did when i found out i could refight the vase slimes to get more levels. 
On my first playthrough i didn't even notice there was a second room. I like the concept and the small grind, i like getting stronger in rpg's. Someone in the comments mentioned three bosses, but the game is over once you beat the head hat-slime, right?
Balancing was a little off though, you can just spam attacks and win the game without ever needing to heal.

Still, i had a lot of fun, thank you!

The game was a bit buggy for me, I got locked after defeating the vase slimes - it seemed like it thought I was still in battle even though I defeated both! I hope you continue to work out the kinks, I gotta know what's happening with all this slime business! I did enjoy the art and the dialogue was pretty cute, hopefully you learned a lot with this project, a whole RPG from scratch is certainly a tall order :)

At first, I was having a problem with the game stopping when killing the slimes in the vase, but once I mixed in heal between attacks that seemed to avoid the problem, and I was able to beat the hat slime. A quick tip that would take no time is to turn on viewport scaling in your project settings, so the game expands when the window is stretched. I had a bit of trouble reading and had to lean in. I haven't seen many RPGs so far so props to you for trying something different. Great job!

Very charming little game, i managed the IMPOSSIBLE of killing the slime with the hat. Just got a little confused because i missed the vase. After that, the game felt preety smooth.

Really good game, with an original mechanic, loved the pixel art ^^

Finally I can add “killed a slime with a hat” to my résumé!!! The most impossible achievement one can ever get.

Unfortunately the game kept on getting bugged whenever I beat the vase and wouldn't let me leave the battle screen, but it seems like a good start to an rpg. Impressive how much you were able to get done in a weeks time. Nice job :)

I just kept spamming A until I got to level 50 and then easily took out the 3 bosses.  Btw, you should update your game page so people know to use the S key on keyboards.

It's tough to get an RPG done for a short game jam.  You definitely get points for trying.

i got to level 7 and one-shotted him... time management is not my strong suit either i guess lol. fun submission, it's a little lacking in depth, but making a functional turn based rpg in like a week is an achievement

I'm not 100% sure this is possible
