How does your game fit the theme?
Join Skully as one chapter of his life ends and he begins anew. A heartwarming tale of resilience, valor, and love.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All music and code are made from scratch, along with most of the pixel art! Special thanks to NinjaAdventure for some sprites.

Great theme and vibe! The music is excellent! What tools did you use to make it? Do you share music online anywhere? I am really into pixel art and in general, the pixel art in the game was great, I just found it slightly too blocky, especially the main character and the walking animation. In general though this is great work for a week and lots of potential for development after the jam!
Thank you for your feedback :) I used FL Studio, NI Massive, some soundfonts and samples to do the music.
Love the art! The combat is rather slow, and the health bars, etc. could look better, but this is a fun idea!
Music is cool, I liked it. I am also co-founder of this game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-9/rate/1927874
As others have said - great music and visuals! But there's room for improvement in the combat system. :)
Nice, chill game :) I really like the dialogues. Music is cool too. I didn't know what to do after granny killed me, because I could fight with her more, even after healing :(
I really liked the pixel art and the audio, as well as the idea of a combat game for a game jam. Unfortunately, the UI isn't as good as the looks of the pixel art, though I understand that could be because of time constraints, but overall nice game!
Team Cat! Cute RPG!
What an emotional ending 😭
I loved it, it's a good RPG with a good story, great work!
Simple little JPRG game as a stray cat. I liked the combat music, that combat itself could have been a little faster and with a little variety in numbers. The grandma attacked me and only shielded her self with perfume :) Nice entry. Good job.
Here is my (first) game jam entry. Check it out if you like.

Very simple and well designed game! The art style is really nice and the music does a good job complementing it. There were a couple of issues like the game letting the player move to the right at the beach off the screen and the racoon in the shed not giving dialogue when clicked on, but it was really enjoyable! I really liked that there was a real story behind it as well! :)
Nice job !
Enjoyed playing this! Very cool little game! :)
Nice pokemon-like combat ! I like the attention you gave to details and sound effects.
The racoon eating big macs got me a good laugh
Battle theme is a banger
Cool game I really liked the art style. Especially the cat animations and the transitions between area's felt snappy. The dialogue was fun and wholesome too :D
I really like the turn based battle system. And all the opponents. But I don't know if there are any level ups and any other moves, I finished the game with level 1 and with claw attack only. Most of the time opponents only used healing and shielding potions, so no threat of dying. I was easily able to complete the game. But I really wanted to see what is in the basket.....

Great audio! I enjoyed the story too. Please let us know what you think about our project: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-9/rate/1933344#post-7359569
This was such a blast! Loved the twist of the game being a turned based combat game! It was really fun to make my way through this one. PS, love the included cat pic in the games description <3
