First off I really like the art and animations. Really plays off the source material well and feels different enough that its not a copy. I did notice some bugs where the next area wouldn't load or the room I was entering never came up! I think the theme could be interpreted a little better but overall impressive amount of work for this jam. Great job!

Developer

Sorry to hear that areas were not loading for you, could you tell me which browser you are using and what os? 

Submitted

windows - chrome. Can try others later

I see no chaos here. I do see a complete RPG, which is amazing. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Developer

You made an RPG in just three days??? Wow! I'm impressed! The music is really nice, and I really like the variety of enemies you fight during the game. Using potions and other objects adds some more depth to the battles. Would've enjoyed some number indicators during battles, but the fact that you managed to make an RPG in just 3 days is super impressive. Well done!

Developer

thank you! I had tried to add in some more items for battle but got distracted with the art. I appreciate you playing!

Really, really impressed you made an RPG within such a short time frame. The world is great, with a really strong selection of enemies that all fit the theme really well, and an interesting variety of attacks. Was intruiging to explore and see what I could find

Would have loved to see more behind the scenes with the battles, seeing number values for damage done/received, max hp etc. would have helped me optimise my strategy, but everything was clear enough that I could still enjoy it regardless :)

definitely agree the ui could be improved! Thank you for the kind words and feedback

thank you for playing!

You made an RPG? Like in 3 days? Woah well done, especially for making such a good one, battle system felt great. Really good job.

Developer

thank you I appreciate it, it’s not my first attempt at making one so I used a lot of previous experiences

Your game is so nice, especially knowing it's a game jam! I thought it was a bit slow at the beginning but I enjoyed it anyway. The art also is super pretty, well done!

Developer(+1)

thank you very much for playing!

I always love this style of game and I thought the pixel art was very well done as well as sounds. The action took a bit to get into but I still enjoyed playing!

Developer

thank you! I can’t take credit for the sounds other than picking them out from open game art but I appreciate the compliments, definitely agree I can get the action going sooner

It looks like there is a lot of content! The whole fight system is great. On the other hand, it takes time to get into the action.

Developer

Thank you! I am glad you liked it, I could up the encounter rate some. My initial thought was keeping the roads clear to recover in and the grass areas dangerous in more of a pokemon style threat.

Great game, though a bit slow

Developer

Thank you for playing! I appreciate the feedback

Love the Pokémon style! Maybe you could make it so w,a,s,d also go through the moves because I could use them to walk and got a little confused at the battle.

Developer

great feedback and easily implemented, I just got so used to using the arrows keys I forgot wasd was there. Thank you for playing!

nice game. 
but the critical hit of the ghost is too high,
I died in 1 strike from full HP in the beginning of the game :(

Developer

bummer I am sorry that happened, there was one ability the ghost had that was particularly strong. I experienced it myself and probably should have removed it. Thank you for playing!

Very impressive work, there's a lot of content here! I loved being able to talk to NPCs and interact with the world, it was great for story and it made things clearer in general. The overworld was well designed as well, since I never got lost and always found the next thing I had to do. The battle system was also very nice, and I'm glad you were generous with the exp! I did seem to burn forever, though, even between battles, which was a little unfortunate, and it felt a little unfair that my second battle was with 2 level 7 characters, but that might just be me being bad at the game :P. And it was still a fun challenge, definitely not impossible! I really liked the graphics as well, everything looked nice and clear, and the battle background was particularly pretty. Overall it was a solid game, and it was very impressive the amount of effort you put in - well done!

Thank you very much I truly appreciate your kind words!

The game looks really polished! Maybe I miss some sound effects and the limitation is far fetched but overall is very solid.

Developer

I definitely agree more sound would improve the experience, thank you for playing!

Wow! I couldn't play through to the battles, but it seems like a really great game. Good job!

Developer

Sorry to hear that, was there something wrong with it loading?

Submitted(+1)

I played it again today and wow this game is slick. I ran out of time playing yesterday so I never entered a battle (I'm really unlucky) haha. Very smooth pokemon style battles I like it :)
