Making a huge open world RPG is probably not a best idea for a 48 hour game jam :D seems like you were trying to put in as much content as you could, but had to cut at some point, leaving everything "as is" (which is understandable, I had to do this with my game too), but the core mechanics suffers from this approach. Fighting is not fun and don't get me started on the panic attack :P

I like the simplistic art style, the tone, and hell, I'd even like the visual part of panic attack if it wasn't so over-exaggerated and dragged over for so long! :P

There are some bugs, e.g. when I first started the game, I tried to destroy all grass on the first screen, but at some point objects stopped reacting to the hits, making me unable to progress, therefore, having to restart the game. Later, when I died, the game just closed - not sure if that was a crash or it was intended.

I'm sure it's all easily fixable though and you'll make a great game out of it :)

I see great potential here, unfortunetly due to time limitations it s not quite there. I miss the music and sound effects, I like the inclusion of the secret rooms with chest in them (but I dont know if you can actually open them).  I Also really liked the humor in the game, it kept me going. Great job, I would expand on this porject to make it better :)

I thought your game proposal was really cool. The look resembles a game called Minit, you know?

I believe that if you adapt to joysticks, add more motion animations, and room transitions, as well as investing in background music, your game will improve a lot!

I saw here that you, like me, intend to continue developing the game after the jam! I'm quite happy with that! Congratulations on the good project!

Really liked the exploration and the minit-inspired art style! There's quite a lot of content for 48 hours, would love to see this expanded into a full-length game :)

the art is nice, the gameplay is fun though I do think the panic attack effect can be played a bit more, maybe make the player the source of the effect. The dialog and overall humor of the game is pretty great, it really kept the game interesting. Good job :D

I wish I could get past the bugs and explore your world properly. but still, I enjoyed what it has to offer. Well done :)

And if you had time, I'd be thankful if you try my submission <3

Your game is decent, and could be much better with some changes.

Here's what I think should be changed/problems I encountered:

* The sword is too short.

* Your speed abruptly comes to a halt when you attack which is jarring.

* Checkpoints aren't visible and respawn triggers for dialogue.

* The game crashed when I was killed by a red enemy once.

* The panics take too long

* I got stuck in dialogue after making my way past the sign which requires the paper

* I couldn't tell I picked up the paper in the first place

Here's what you did right:

* Being able to aim the sword while attacking adds a bit more depth because it allows you to get more out of each swing with more effort.

* The dialogue was interesting and kept me wanting to play the game more.

* You showed dangerous enemies in out of reach sections in rooms to demonstrate that they're dangerous without hurting the player which is good design (though you could make the enemy appear more obvious).

I was very intrigued by your game, and I think most of your problems could be fixed easily. I wanted to keep playing but I got stuck in dialogue and decided to quit. I still enjoyed the experience and I think you still did a good job with this game.

The presentation is polished, VFX is great, the premise is pretty rich, with enemies, interactions and multiple panels, unfortunately I've had some game breaking bugs along the way :( but that's just one of the drills of jam games: we don't have a lot of time for debugging.

Maybe being able to anticipate panic attacks in some fashion would be interesting too!

Hey, hopefully you won't mind me opening my review with some critical feedback. In my opinion, the combat system felt clunky. The sword would sometimes be inside the enemies, and not kill the enemies. My guess is that some enemies have multiple health, but this wasn't clear, I'd attack an enemy expecting it to die, then get wrecked when it didn't. Enemies with more than one health felt very unfair, you had to attack from close quarters, but since you have to stand still for half a second to attack, the enemy basically got a free hit on you. 

Looking at other comments, this is an unpopular opinion, but I'm not a fan of the panic attacks. I don't think they add anything to the game, and I'd imagine the game being the same without them. It was confusing on the first few panic attacks, then when I realised there was a warning, I'd just go off screen until the panic attack ended. There could have been more to the mechanic to make it interesting, perhaps prevent you from leaving the room? I think it'd be neat if you escaped the panic attack when damaged, so that panic attacks aren't an instant death when in a bad position. That way, you could also create some interesting arena shapes that provide minimal cover, and if you do fail to take shelter, the panic attack wouldn't be the end of you. 

It seems like there was a lot of stuff that I unfortunately couldn't get to, because the game broke when you tried to get the new knife. Otherwise though, the graphics are nice, and I like the red highlights on enemies. I like how obstacles have an animation when you hit them, and I just wish enemies could have a similar effect so I know I'm damaging them. I also appreciate the warning and effects applied to the panic attacks. Congrats on completing your game, I really hope the feedback above can help with future projects!
