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!
