So cute... and so violent... I liked it.

Submitted

Loved it. Super simple and really good execution of the game mechanics.

Submitted

Best game so far. i dont know how you polished a game so well in 5 days. how many endings are there? i got the one with the dwarfs, with being the queen, with the hunter and with the paranoia.

Developer

Hi thanks for liking it! The game used a lot of assets(thanks Unity!) and I listed all of them in the credits part, especially the dialogue system and the light system, they are the stone of the game, and if I didn't use them I would spend much longer to implement them myself.

For the second question, there are two endings with dwarfs, one with the hunter, four with the queen, and one with killed by monsters. I was planned to make a collection of endings, and a new game plus, like more characters(for example the prince charm...) would show after you get a true end. But I didn't have enough time and (the real reason is) I was not sure if anyone would actually spend time play this game twice... Your comment is really encouraging, thanks!

A very cool game, I really like the art like the chatbox, probably do something more about the gameplay

Developer

Yeah will consider that but don't have enough time lol

Submitted

10/10 maybe the best game I have seen in the jam

Developer

Thanks for liking it!!

Submitted

The story, dialogues and scripted events are just incredible . I think the unicity of this game is created by these dialogues and even if the gameplay itself is very simple , i love it

Developer

Thanks, glad you like the story! It is written by me then polished by SpadgersHat. He is a really nice guy and if you need any suggestions for story writing you can ask him!

Submitted

Awesome! Cool idea! You can  rate my game if you want : )

Submitted

This is really awesome. I wish I had enough time to make a game like this, mine is so useless.

Anyway I love this, specifically the dialogues. The art is interesting and really catchy. Nice.

Submitted (1 edit)

Not only the gameplay but their dialogues is funny too. I just had to play several time to watch all these dialogues. 10/10 xD

I really enjoyed this game. Love the replayability and atmosphere is really nice!

Developer

thanks for liking it!

Submitted

This is probably the first game I tested in this jam that is decent. Great game. I do see this making a good mobile game using different stories & choices.

Developer

Thanks for liking it! I'll consider that!

Submitted

i really love this concept! i just think you should  do something more to the gameplay, i think it could be awesome like...  begin able to move around a little bit or more enemies with diferent skills.

the story is really good, for the short time they gave us this is gold!

Developer

Yeah, time is limited :P I just added two new types of enemies(well they don't have skills though) I've never thought about moving.. but now consider that might be an interesting idea too. Would consider that later! Thanks for playing it!

Submitted

Finally, some good games. i liked this game very much! But maybe it would be better to add some more details to map (trees, rocks, etc)

Developer

Yeah, I was thinking about that -- it was on my Trello board -- but I'm not sure if I should make them collidable or not. If not it is a little weird. If they are collidable, then I need to do real enemy moving AI which is an area I have no idea.. probably do this after game jam :P Thanks for the advice!

Submitted

Well, now its look more fresh. Good job!

Submitted

Really nice game. By far the best one yet. The only thing that seems wrong to me is how the Hunter and Snow White are dran in Pixel-Art, while the animals aren't.

Developer

Yeah I'm not an artist and I was not sure if I can finish this game in time so didn't find one... and didn't have time to do the art since it's a busy week. I'll see if I can find some time to do the art for the animals, thanks for the advice(I was planning if no one mentioned/noticed it I'll just ignore this issue lol)!

Submitted

No problem, my guy, it's still a great game! I suggest looking on the asset store, there's surely some fitting art there!

Developer

Didn't find something free so make my own animals! thanks for the advice again!

Submitted

Glad I could help! I just don't understand how this isn't the most popular game of the jam :P

Developer

Thanks for liking it.. I guess maybe because I'm not popular lol? (Oops, That's even sadder...)

Submitted(+1)

It looks cool! You are one of the first  to submit a decent game to this jam!

Developer

Thanks for liking it! I'm busy this week so just uploaded my current work in case I'll miss the deadline :p I'm sure there are others people polishing their game now!

Verry bizzare but nice game. The story seems to be verry well writen and I did not find any bugs.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for liking the story! I was worried my story will be too hard to read since I'm not a native speaker and have skipped lots of details due to out of time. Thanks again for liking it!
