All of the other comments already expressed everything great that I'd have to say about the game, so that frees me up to get a little nitpicky lol. I wish that there had been a way to swap the directions for the isometric movement. In most isometric games, pressing up will move the character to the top right. Playing this game felt the same as playing an FPS game with a non-inverted Y axis when you're used to inverted controls. But overall, the game was awesome.
the mimc made laugh out loud omg - this was such a treat to play: i did not expect isometrics, but it was very impressive (i am just terrible at movement!) - i loved seeing many of my favorite games referenced here, esp DQ and Bubble Bobble - and the art is SO GOOD!! very entertaining and fun sprites: what a grand time!!
thank you so much for sharing and looking forward to future games!!!
this is SO cool!!! even though i read slow and am apparently not retro at all haha. i really like the tile-based movement and trivia as the battle mechanic, and the graphics are great! keep up the great work :)
Love that the fight mechanics are trivia! A really creative idea! Wish I could have more time I am such a slow reader lol
This game is awesome! I'm a big fan of trivia, so I really enjoyed this. Learned some new things too. Graphics are amazing. I liked the Pokemon Gym battle style.
Amazing audio and visual presentation. I had a lot of fun going through the game. Timer a tad bit on the short side but it was already mentioned. Great game. Who knew I'd get that hyped remembering the GB screen resolution. x)
this is a neat lil game! The timer is a tad too unforgiving imo. I barely had any time to read questions so I had to half read, half deduce what the question is while also trying to answer. I get it's supposed to be part of the challenge, but a second or two more would make a world of difference, I fell. The art is real good, loved how expressive the close up portraits are! good job!
Great stuff! The WarioWare bomb countdown gave me anxiety, a fun way to make it tense! 😅
This one was lot of fun! The isometric graphics are impressive! Great music too!
Amazing graphics! Pretty cool music!
Unfortunately, I am not super expert on the retro history! :P But still enjoyed the game!
This game went straight into my personal Game Jam favorites! So good. Just a little to fast to read everything out loud!
Thank you very much ! I'm glad you liked it. I take note of your feedback for a future update 👍.
Great game, definitely the most polished game I have played. Amazing concept, graphics and music. I like that it gets easier once you learn the tricks of the rooms. I had to play it 5 times because the final boss either beat me or crashed the game. Seems like if you die to the final boss then challenge him again, he runs out of questions and the game crashes. But it was fun enough that I played it 5 times!
thank you very much!
Ahh truee I forgot to reset Boss variables. I don't know why, I thought that once the Boss was found it would be defeated. I was already very tired 😫
Cool idea, and i knew some of the questions :)
I think a check point after the switch and the key would've been nice 🥲
The graphics are dope tough, love the isometric perspective ❤️
Followed this on twitter and was excited to check it out! Turns out I don't have anywhere near enough retro knowledge for this, but the art and sound make for great vibes :] For some reason I do think my expectations of iso movement are opposite what this game is, I think of up=northeast instead of northwest, and all that follow, so it didn't feel natural to me.
Thank you! yeah many people said that. I'll change the movement to the most classic way after the jam 😁
Thank you! I made the easy part of the graphics (map and small objects) but the difficult part (isometric characters and big portrait) was made by ainaSGE).
This was sweet. Nailed the isometric graphics and movements. I liked the pokemon-esque battle starts and I liked the fact that I knew the answer to some of the questions. Also good music. At a certain point I did quit because I got kicked out enough, haha.
Thank you! I didnt knew like half of the answers 😅. Its really hard. I'll make a more progresive difficult on the future
This is SO cool. The isometric perspective, the music, the monster designs, the questions, the design... all outstanding. If I had to be critical, I'd say the timer is a bit stressful, but it keeps the game snappy for me since I'm a fast reader. Excellent entry, friend.
thank you! I made It stressful intentionally to increase the chance to miss 😈. But actually the bomb holds a second longer than it looks when there is no fuse left.
I really love isometric timer is too fast for me 😁. GG
thanks ! The time is very short because I'm evil😈, but the bomb lasts a second longer than it seems when there is no fuse left.
🤣
the isometric graphic and battle scene is absolutely outstanding. music is good too
Hilarious. Great voice.
