A good turn based game is always very nice. And playing without reading the rules and figuring out every weird moves was fun.
Hero: DIE DIE DIE
Jhon: is drunk
The audience really liked that!
This game gave me big Undertale vibes, and I have to say, I'm all for it. The fact that you had to reach a certain level of popularity before finishing off the opponent added a whole new layer of strategy. Though, and I think this is a bug, the end of battle fanfare plays over the battle music, which is really unpleasant.
Just an average tuesday night for john....
ooh very nice!
A turn based game that is surprisingly engaging! I went in without reading the instructions and basically tried to figure out the system as I played along. I think its actually more fun this way to experiment with the different abilities and figuring out what the buffs did. God ray basically 1 shots the enemy before i can even build up popularity.
Really surprised me with how much content there was! I loved the attack sounds and animations, a way to click through dialogue instead of waiting would be nice though. Overall really good
Very impressive submission! I liked the humor and the type of combat, but like you said on discord the first boss is stupidly annoying. His multiattack seems to heal a bunch of health when he intimidates and I dont do much damage, even when drunk. However the music and art were wonderful, great stuff!
This game should be at least top 10
Quite an interesting game, with some pretty cool turn-based mechanics. If it were continued I'd love a more controlled way to see your stats, change your moves, and get to know the system better.
Apart from that though, the music was a little repetitive and clashed quite a bit when two sets of background music played at once. Not very pleasant to hear, heh.
Overall though, pretty good job.
Love it! The humor got me good.
I am currently working on a small hotfix that will balance some things and fix some game breaking bugs, if you’re going to rate the game now try to return to this game in a couple hours when I have the link to the hotfix set up
nvm its probably against the rules so nahhhhh
Haha Nice Piece - Like it!
Nice cheesey humor.
Cool game, it's a fun turn based game using card, i love the music (a little bit too high volume)

Fun game, couldn't beat the 3rd opponent ;D
I am confused but in a good way cool game haha
Its a super fun turn based game, with cheesy humor. I love the character sprites, only the ui could have used a tiny bit more polishing i think (my screen is wqhd, so that might have had an impact), but other than that this is a great submission!
lmao t-pose fun xD
Great game, but a bit confusing.
This game is actually cracked, it's so polished
