Good job! Will come and play it more thoroughly, trying to get through a basic test run and at least give it a try! Trying to get to everyone I can!
I like the way this one was designed, cool images and gameplay 4/5!
Best of luck !
we lost the majority of our jam ratings if you have a chance to re-save and or re-rate I am making sure to re-rate and review your game a 2nd/3rd time and make sure I gave yours a solid review and or rating! Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience if you read this in time!
Team Dreamysteria!
Great Game! very polished!
WOW! I'm very impressed with amount of polish and variety in gameplay! The sound and visuals meshed so well and really added to the vibe of the game. I enjoyed all three of the genres of gameplay for the different boss fights. The UI and menu screens were very well done, however at first it was a little hard to tell when I was doing damage to the bosses health bar. Really great game!
Enjoyed the game a lot as it was sincered to the theme.
love the art and the exchange mechanic. also bonus points for multiple difficulty selection
Good art style.
Good game, fun to play and challenging. The boss is well designed and the picture is very beautiful.
I agree with what everyone is saying, but I will add this opinion: If it was just as it is, you have a great game. But in the context of the jam, I think the exchange mechanic, while implemented well, could be better. Maybe changing bodies with the boss multiple times during the fight? That is just my opinion.
I enjoyed playing your game! Great story, there was variety, and the fights were exciting. Thanks for the experience.
This game has such a personality to it, I love it! Good stuff!
Wow this is the second game i rated 5/5 on everything in the jam. The art on this game is just fantastic. I really dig the 1-bit old black&white mac style artwork. It kinda reminded me of the old classic from 1990 "Immortal" with those faboulous 8-bit musics and all.
Other than the music the boss design is also top notch quality. You got the different attack patterns, phases and all that. Boss battles are a great deal of fun and very engaging.
I personally think that this is one of the games which uses the theme of the jam in the best way. It is definitely brilliant. Like you didn't use it gameplay wise but you used it as a plot device for the story of the game. It was a great example of out of the box thinking.
Man i get jealous that i cannot make games like these but i also learn a lot of things from them and they fire me up to make better games, to improve myself further.
I love every aspect of this game. Congrats to the team and good luck on your future projects.
PS: I also was working on a game where you fight against a series of dragons but that would be a 3D game. I later scrapped that idea to make a game which also fits the subject of Samurai Jam
Thank you so much for the kind words! It really means a lot!
Keep going! There is promise in your game with practice I'm sure you'll be an awesome developer!
Very good game! Everything about it is good: visuals, audio, gameplay, story, balancing! Very good job! Those poor souls! Imagine the bird having to live with the body of a frog!!

Really awesome. Loved how each fight had a different core moveset (this is a super cool but super high-effort interpretation of the theme).
I thought each boss was really fair. All the attack patterns seemed easy to read and meshed well with whatever your current moveset was. I liked the frog vs bird fight the most, but each fight was fun in its own way. One of my favorites, nice job!
This game looks so great - the frog level was especially eye-catching. Each level has its own control and mechanics, it was disappointing there were only three levels! Really well done.
Good game, nice execute for theme very unique.
The gameplay feels really good. The art is minimalist and great fit for the game (loved the dragon). The music was a great choice and fits the general atmosphere. I enjoyed the concept a lot. Great Job!
One of the best visuals I've seen on the jam! Well done! :D 5/5
I love the concept of this game, very fun and polished, the portraits are incredible and the art is simple but effective, I just missed more depth in each boss.
I didnt expect each boss fight to be a diffrent genre so that was a good surprise. I think the graphic is pretty stylized. Over all, i had a good time with this game
The game is made in a very attractive art style, I liked all the bosses, especially the dragon, which has cool attacks. It's cool that there are several difficulties to choose from. Thank you for the opportunity to play such a cool game!
cool
but fr I really appreciate it buddy :)
I also wanted to point out that the game among all those reviewed, in my opinion, has the best user interface)
