Great game! Truly GameBoy-ish visuals and audio. And very plesant retro-UI. Good job!
Took me some time with controls, but watched the tutorial and it helped haha.
Portrait art are beautiful! I like the story telling as well. Very cool entry!
The portraits are likely some of the best art in the jam! I see others have pointed out z/x being swapped to feel more natural. Would be great to see this continued :]
It took me a little time to get used to the controls, and I had some bugs in my 1st game, but the next went better and I appreciated.
More differences from the original formula would have been ncie but it's a really good entry anyway, good job!
Really enjoyed the beginning! The controls were a little confusing though it's impressive to have finished this during the jam!
Thanks for playing our game and the feedback you've provided! We realised post submission that we should have swaped the keys around, We will fix this and hope to communicate controlls better with the U.I. in the next itterations of the game.
Is there anything we could have done differently otherwise, so you would enjoy the whole game? We would love to know!
Stellar game. I had so much fun playing it. It’s a good length too. definitely one I’ll come back to again and again.
Thank you so much!
Great Job!!! Awesome seeing another strategy game! And you nailed the fire emblem feel.
Thanks so much for playing and your compliments! We really enjoyed making it!
This is really great and carefully made!
The rock-paper-scissors combat really eases the potential complexity and makes it really enjoyable.
Amazing job, congrats!
This game has a lot going for it and shows that it has a lot of time put into it however i struggled with the basic combat mechanics pretty severely.
On some turns you would start the player would be in defend or end mode. It was unclear how to go back and forward selecting units and making them do the things you expect them to do.
Maybe if you had something to clearly more define which action phase your character is in before ending.
Example. If your character is in the move phase. maybe have a directional arrow or text tell you which phase you are in. After he moves, he should display whether he can attack or just end his phase. Then move onto the next unit and repeat each action needed.
You should not be able to move between units until all there actions are finished. This way you wont get lost on which unit still has an action to be completed or not. Also limit which unit is able to attack with a priority system forcing you to move one unit at a time. This will give the game a bit more strategic feeling while also helping you see which unit has finished its action.
This will give a better clarity of which phase that unit is in so when your pushing buttons you have a better idea of what's happening.
Impressive job for what feels like Fire Emblem game for the GameBoy. Good job :).
Excellent graphics and gameplay! Great job!
This really feels like Fire Emblem but for Gameboy. Your team did an impressive job. This also feels like it could actually run on a gameboy, which is a big plus
This is super impressive work. Really feels like a Fire Emblem game make for the original Game Boy. Great job!
Great presentation! The character recruitment mechanic is a fun twist on the Fire Emblem-style gameplay. I liked the little retro jRPG shout-outs in the character names, too.
Thanks for the feedback, Fredison!
Artistically, musically, and mechanically impressive for a game made in 9 days. Wow.
Thanks! It was a team effort, I think we all feel like sleeping for a week now :)
Woah so fun!
Resolution is way too high for a gameboy- like a WonderSwan level
Thanks! The resolution is 160x144, scaled up to 640x576, rendered in four glorious shades of green :)
A testament to how great your art is- I thought you cheated..
Props!
Nice to see you again! :D
This time the game is so much polished! Visual effects it didn't have before. I really liked it. So much as I already liked! Haha
Good job, dude!
Thanks! We learned a lot of valuable lessons last time, and put them to good use!
Love everything about it!
Thanks CodeRaurus!
Loved it! Never played a tactics game and was a bit overwhelmed but quickly got into it. The art is amazing!
Thank you so much!
This was a wonderful tale with adventure, risk and betrayal. I LOVED IT
Thank you for streaming our game!
anytime, if there are games you make in the future send me a message and I'll be more than happy to check them out :D
I really loved your reaction to the game! Always great to be able to bring joy to people!
