Lovely graphics, fun game! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the GBJam 5 games, if you'd like to take a look :)

I saw the screenshots of this on Twitter and knew I'd love it. I'm not a huge fan of JRPGs, but I'm facinated by attempts to reduce them down to their base elements, and this is about as good a job at that as I've ever seen.
Great game! You nailed the early RPG battle system and all three characters felt unique in their designated fields. The music got a little repetitive after a few battles. Animations looked great and the screen flashes and screen shake on impacted hits really added to the game feel. Overall you did a great job. One of my favorite games this jam.
The characters and abilities are pretty well balanced. Overall a very neat game! Great submission
Very well designed gameplay, pretty graphics, and perfect gameboy feel! There's a lot of strategy behind the small number of skills. I wish there was an option to slow down the combat dialogue though -- it was hard to figure out what the enemies were doing and determine which attacks were most effective. I also think showing the order of execution clearly would make strategizing more enjoyable. Overall really great though!
The different characters' skills felt well-balanced, and I especially liked the free SP-drain for the mage character.
Nice turn based combat. I especially like how you have to manage SP by stealing it from enemies and defending / inspiring your characters. Would have been nice to level up and learn new moves to keep the game from becoming repetitive.
