Great game! I love the idea and the jump mechanic. The graphics and animations are fantastic!

Really love the mix of turn based combat with a realtime jump mechanic. Art style is fantastic, very enjoyable ;D
Very well done on the art polish. The character design is great, and the combat icons and design was fun! I liked the mix of gameplay and would love to see this continued further. Great job!
The combat system really reminds me of super mario rpg and I loved it. It's a difficult type of game to do in jams because it takes so much time to have good fighting mechanics and interface not to mention the overworld movements. Congrats on trying this, I've seen that you have continue to work on it, I'll go check that.
Amazing aesthetics + good gameplay :D I wish that you could finish it, but I am glad that you decided to put it anyway
I really hesitated to put it so thank you very much to say that! I made a more complete version here if you want to try ^^ : https://piroporopi.itch.io/chococastle-post
I like the visuals very much!!!
At first play I thought that the game is so raw, that you can't even beat the first rival, but then I saw a commentary about jump dodge, and everything goes well after it :D It's very unclear without a tutorial, that you can dodge. Also z key is not very intuitive
Also, the descriptions says that z is qwerty (jump for some reason) and w is awerty. What does it means? :D
Your artwork and animation is incredible!! I found a 'secret' room with a bunch of other character sketches placed inside — I love the designs!
Gameplay wise, it took me a minute to realize I can jump during enemy attacks to dodge. That helped a lot, because I wasn't sure why I was dying so easily.
Really solid framework you have started! Can't wait to see more
Nice Jrpg. I see it is not fully completed(gray blocks etc), but still very nice idea, nice visuals. I am missing remap controls though.
