Theme incorporation
For this game jam we incorporated the themes of Ancient Ruins and Cosmic Horror. The story takes place in a coastal region where a guild party (the Aqua Guild) must defeat the ancient dungeon, or the world would be submerged under water. Enemies will appear to prevent the party from defeating the legendary and powerful monster.

This was a great one. It reminded me of a first person final fantasy for some reason. The music was good, the art and monsters were all great and charming. The combat was fun. The movement was well done but maybe a little slow on the turning, and needs strafing. I did experience a crash on one of the tentacles but eventually made it to the end.
A bit of a cliffhanger there, I hope you keep developing this!
The music rocked on this one!
The art and the humor were really good. The level up sound effect reminded me of Dragon Quest (so bonus nostalgia points there!)
Unfortunately once I killed the first tentacle, the game crashed :/
Great entry though, good job!
Got to level 5 when in the room with the kraken, haha. Good effort, the moving feels just a little bit too slow when turning, and there appears to be no strafing or moving backward involved.
The characters seem very stereotypical, almost to the point of satire, and if that was the intent then good job with that!
I love the old school Final Fantasy games. Great execution of JRPG style dungeon crawler. The different character classes with different abilities is impelemented very well. The inventory system, automap it has it all. I also liked the artstyle very much. It's too bad that the game crashes when you kill the tentacle, i wanted to beat the game.
In any case, it's a very solid entry for the jam. Cheers for your great work!
Love the artstyle, the characters, the gameplay - just generally very fun. I like how even the UI is artfully stylized. The minimap is a great WoL thing too. If you add more, I shall return to play it.
I used CheatEngine to prevent Lop from gaining xp past level 4, so here's a full playthrough:
Got lvl5 crash. OH NO.... Damn, Lop! I knew she is a trouble.
Actually had fun while it lasted. Reminded me of old FF games. Had bit of nostalgia. Love it!
Pretty good implementation of this combat mechanics. Graphics works well. Sound is also good.
I think what make the game crash is when your characters reach some level and then there's no way to bypass it?
The game is promising anyway, it looks cool, controls are pleasant, the game is nicely paced and combat is very fun.
This is a cool game, I'm going to play the fixed version eventually.
That's correct, the crash is triggered when Lop reaches LV5 and attempts to learn the "Health Shower" ability. This is a typo and the ability is actually named "Life Shower" so the game crashes when it fails to look up the ability details. This normally happens after defeating a tentacle, but can happen any time the party reaches LV5.
Thanks for the comment and the kind feedback by the way, I'll upload the fixed version after the voting period ends.
What a nice jam entry. It plays very well and has well implemented gameplay systems. Party banter is always nice. The graphics and sound are quite good, too. Good job!
Lovely game. I really like the art and the color palette that have been chosen. Got that pesky Tentacle bug as well ; - ;
This is a very lovely game, buuuuut....it crashes whenever I kill the Tentacle on L3 :(
I like the amusing writing, it's fast paced, cute. Too bad about that crash though, would've loved to finish it.
Thanks for the bug report! I've fixed it but won't be able to upload a new build until the voting period ends. As a workaround, you can still fight the Kraken right away without defeating the tentacles. It will be tougher, but the Angel Ray spell that Lop learns at LV4 is highly effective and can beat the Kraken after ~3 turns.
