I dont know if you can enlarge the window somehow, ppl like me with poor eyesight finds it a bit hard to play it. I would say that even though I didnt find a wow element on your game, i love how you implemented the silent protagonist. Not only was lore related, but the other characters made it simple to understand what he would say and thats pretty cleaver.

I think you need to work on a batter battle system that is not just default, make it interesting for your player. Oh, I liked how the face sprite of the characters turn pops out letting u know whos acting, that is a super cool and useful addition.

One of the better uses of the the themes. The protagonist was silent for a clever reason. Writing was pretty funny, and Hidden Cheats were interesting (secret boss had soooo much HP). Felt a bit too grindy for a jam. I would have been happy fighting about half as many enemies., and although there was thought put into the skills, it was just easier to jam on attack. The fact that the store with equippable items is all the way at the beginning basically made all Mek except the first few hundred pointless.

This is a cute, short game. The secrets are creative, the sound design is mostly default but otherwise fine, the gameplay is straightforward, and the writing, while marred by some grammatical issues, is humorous and easy to follow. Having the big boss fight not be at the end of the game, but rather one of the secrets, is a twist.

I came away from this game feeling like it's average. It's not deeply flawed by any means, but it didn't have any "wow" factor for me, either. Like, the combat wasn't bad, but there are some things that could improve it: fewer useless skills, monster designs that don't blend into the battle back, and enemies that require unique strategies to defeat are some examples. Likewise, the story may be funny, but it wasn't laugh-out-loud hilarious. The secrets are cleverly hidden and I do appreciate the guide at the end, but they aren't very impactful (aside from the one that gives you a ton of experience).

My point is this: you've made a good solid entry. Your next challenge will be to make something that stands out from the crowd. Good luck!
