Nice game, very unsettling. Health bars would be great, because like this the fights went on for pretty long and got a bit repetetive. A way to skip the dialog a bit faster would have been great too. Also I didn't have a seperate screen for the fighting, so I had two crabs on the screen, but that could be a bug :D
Thanks, agreed about the health bars. There is a bug in fullscreen where the battle background image doesn't render. Not sure why.
I think i ran into a bug. Basically if i spammed ctrl in battle scenes i could just keep attacking before the enemy does their turn.
Yea, I found the same bug on the last day of the jam and didn't have time to fix it.
Good gameplay and graphics. I wish there was health bars, but the actions felt impactful during the fights.
Thanks so much. Seems most people agree healthbars would be good here.
Wow this game looked beautiful I can't believe you totally made it! It's really a great start to an awesome game, super impressive you did this in a week! Great job!
Thank you so much
Loved the experience! Keep up the great work
Thanks
I enjoyed this game a lot. It has a really fascinating look and I like how after every fight the world gets more freaky. The combat feels nice and the giant crab looks great! Great job!
Thank you
Really fun game. Hope you develop it further after the jam!
Thanks for playing. I'd like to make it into a full game if I can.
I love giant crab. All hail giant crab.
Historically accurate giant crab. Thanks for playing.
this was a really fun RPG to play through, and super impressive for the timeframe! I really liked the narrative elements that were in it and wish there were more. the art style was fun and I liked the jokes sprinkled throughout. I will say that at a certain point I started spamming command to get through the combat quicker, and it seemed like if I mashed fast enough it would skip the enemy's turns completely. so very easy to cheese through combat, but I liked the mechanics and would love to see them more fleshed out. overall great work and well done incorporating the theme!!
Yea I noticed that bug on the last day with only a few hours left, so I didn't have time to debug and fix it. You can actually accidentally skip your own turn as well. Thanks for playing.
Haha! This was really funny and cool at the same time with unique graphics and interface.
Thanks for playing
Great work! I like the escalation of phases. Well done with the theme, and with the artwork. I wish there was a bit more originality, but overall, well done!
Thanks
Wow. That was a great freaking game. I liked everything about it, from the art (which was a m a z i n g) to the story, though you could have developed on that a little bit more, because it really has a lot of potential. One thing I'll say is that the pokemon-style combat system you made can get repetitive, because it's just attacking and curing for a long time, and that makes for a not great boss fight, but overall the game is great, something like an 8/10 for a week long project for sure
Thanks. I wanted to implement more mechanics in battles, but I couldn't spend too much time on it.
Great art and really good battle mechanic! Sad that you did not had time to develop on the game story, but if you want to go further I think you have a nice foundation!
Thanks for playing
Nice visuals everything looks well polished! I liked the pokémon fight against Cthulhu!
Thanks
the main character kinda reminds me of saitama from the back. the art in this game is amazing and i liked the giant crab XD
Glad you noticed. I've been watching a lot of One-Punch so I thought it would be funny to make a bald hero.
Nice art and a decent game.
Thanks
Nice gameplay and incredible art!
Thank you
Good Game :D
I think a healthbar for all monsters would have helped, I'm agreeing with Robert ;-)
Played it trou and I liked it you get the idea of the story without having to read a lot (in comparsion with my reading heavy game :( ) Nicely done!
Thanks. I thought about health bars but decided against because the battle system was a little too easy already. But I understand.
I liked a lot the art man, the graphics were excellent, but I have to say that I think the crab should have an enemy health bar to make the player know in what situation is he in. Nevertheless, good job and nice game!
Thanks.
Super cute and existential. Neat art and music too!
Thank you.
