I'm in love with this character design, for real some great work there. And that Raven joke, underestimated game. Well done!

Developer

Thanks a ton! I'm glad you enjoy my silly jokes!

Thank you! 

I'm glad you like my intro animation! Took me a few hours to get right, but now I can throw it on all my games.

Great art style and really nice characters, and I enjoyed the humor in the writing -- it's the start of something good!

Developer

This is a really cool and super impressive game! The artstyle is really clean and I love the card battle gameplay. Overall an excellent game! Well done :D

Great art style and gameplay! A bit more audio during card battles would enhance the experience.

Developer

Definitely could have used some more audio! Thanks for your feedback!

Really liked the visual asethetics, gameplay style, and content you have going on! Having a bit more audio feedback during the card battles would be great to see and being slightly faster really would help out.

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, I dropped the ball on the sfx and ran out of time. Thanks for the feedback!

This is the start of a really nice roguelike. It's dripping with style and has loads of mechanical potential. Also the writing/puns were phenomenal.

What was the clue mechanic supposed to be? really wanted to see how all that would have worked!

Developer

Clues were going to be an out-of-combat resource that had multiple uses! They would open other paths along the map, allow you to skip certain specific combat encounters, or be used to re-roll after combat card rewards(which were also not implemented). I also had a few card interactions that would scale with the number of clues you had. However, I very clearly overscoped how much I would be able to accomplish. 

I'm glad you enjoyed the puns! Thank you for playing!

Very fun game, great art and very nice gameplay, would love to see further developments!

Developer

Thank you very much!

Really loved the artstyle! The game obviously could have used a little extra time to finish out some of the mechanics you listed, but other than that I was very impressed with your game!!

Developer

Yeah, I would have loved to have done more with it, but it is what it is! Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Really nice game! I think it could've used more SFX, but the art was great and I definitely wasn't expecting that ending. The walk speed was also really slow so the overworld felt kind of tedious, but the battles were really fun. Great job!

P.S. Floating detective hat gang

Developer

Floating hats are where it's at!

Thank you for playing, and for the feedback!

Lovely paper mario style cute cozy game. perfect for this jam, you should be proud. one thing I noticed is if you scroll down the itch page it will zoom out in game and you cannot see mayor webb sometimes if you scroll out far enough or scroll in. I scrolled during her first textbox to me which was really confusing. Overall, great work!! I also think the card that says deal 4 damage doesn't deal 4 damage.

Developer

I completely forgot about the scrolling thing. dang. Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback!
