Funny game, cool art and music. A bit slow on each turn. Still, fun stuff!
Thx !
Quite the fun and challenging game! Love it!
Thx !!
WOWIE!! This is an interesting twist on the RPG games, you're technically still want to "win", but in order to do so you need to kill the enemies, aka your "pawns". Very Clever.
The only thing I'd say is that the battles can drag a bit too long because the heroes are a bit too stupid, they almost seem like they don't want to win, but other than that this is really a good game (^u^)
Thanks for playing !
Cute & charming. I personally don't see any reason to not let the player advance the textboxes himself, it doesn't necessarily sync with the music. Battles as well became rather lengthy because I couldn't just skip all the text.
Some of the sprites in the battle screen looked very obviously stretched. You don't want that, it simply looks unfinished.
The music was surprisingly good, especially the 'calm' version.
Lastly, I found that in the first battle, there was always an obviously best choice - frenzy. You might want to balance magic and defense costs, damage values, etc. to make the choices more interesting. Jonas himself has a good video on decisions.
I know about the lack of skip button and the lenght but the lenght can be greatly reduced by finding the good strats. Frenzy was not the best choice for a quick win, I guess it's the best choice for a very "safe" approach and I could balance a bit more. You can see the intended strats on the game's page.
Really nice game! I loved the art style, but the entire game felt really slow.
Music was really great! Good job!
Thx for playing !
Very charming game! I like the art style and the music! my only suggestion is to adjust the pacing so the game goes along a bit faster
good job!
Thanks ! I'm already planning to do that !
The concept was very nice and fitting and I enjoyed art and music. The battles could get a bit long though and i honestly mostly just chose the most passive attack all the time. The writing made up for that in a way, just because it was very interesting and humorous (actually the whole game is and i like it). Overall nice job!
thanks for the feedback. I see that I'll have to do something so players can understand better than there's a strategy in each fight, rather than just waiting to be attacked
Very good game! I liked the writing, story, visuals and the music was great too :)
Something that I would change though is how long the battles are. They're a little lengthy and tedious.
My favourite part of the game was its sense of humour in the dialogue. Overall it's a very good and unique game, good job!
Thanks for the feedback !
I'm aware of the slowness and I'll fix it :)
Awesome visuals, but the game is really held back by its pace. An option to skip the dialogue would have been nice !
Yeah, I know :( Thanks for playing !!
Nice art and game. I liked the combo with twined light and hexagun, where the former would attack the latter. Otherwise, sometimes the battle are a bit long, when the heroes do not attack often...
Thx for playing !
I really dig the art and music. I found the pace of the battles to be kinda slow -- the animations were long and the heroes would guard or do status change moves seemingly way more often than they'd attack, which was kinda frustrating. I liked that there were combos like Poly gun + the stare in the second round that would cause the heroes to defend so only your side would get hit, finding out those strats was fun!
Thanks for the feedback ! I'm happy most of people found the intended strats.
The soundtrack is an absolute bop, and the graphics are amazing. I also really love the character design. I just wish the boss fight wasn't so tedious. It was a pretty neat puzzle to figure out how to lose each encounter, but the boss seemed too easy and boring upon first impression.
Thanks for the feedback !
I'm surprised, i mean I know the game is too slow but it's not only the boss. What part did you find tedious and what part too easy ?
I was just intimidated by how much health it had. I had enough patience to get through the first encounter, and the second encounter was unique. But with the boss, I figured out pretty quickly that I could just spam Cursed Comment and wait to be defeated.
I see. Well it has so much health because you're not supposed to beat him with normal attacks. You can read the intended strat on the game's page.
I guess I could make that clearer.
I really liked the vibrant graphics and the concept was very unique and definitely fit the theme! While the graphics are definitely eye catching I feel like in some places the screen felt over crowded/cluttered though. The music also worked well with the game, and its a really cool take on an RPG! Overall, this is a great game!
Best Game I've seen yet!
Thanks a lot !
Im glad your in the top 25! Goodluck
Absolutely adorable. Loved the opening scene. After the jam is over I'd love to see an updated version with battles that go a bit quicker (or maybe I was just doing something wrong). Great job!
Younre right, it's too slow. I'll fix it in the post jam version. Thanks for the review vidéo !
Awesome! I'm following you so I'll check it out again if you update it.
This was such a treat to play! Really cute art, the music surprised me a lot (especially the last one) and the end boss... well, I have no words hahaha.
The only complain I could come up with is that the games moves a teensy bit slow, like sometimes the turns would just feel a little too long. Apart from that, wonderful game for a game jam.
thank you !
yeah, i know, it's a bit slow
Really Cute! It reminded me of Deltarune and Undertale.... and everything that reminds me of deltarune and Undertale is great!! ^ -^
Haha, that's true, I was inspired by the fields of hopes and dreams for one of the backgrounds :D
That was pretty funny! And losing was challenging as well, not as easy as I thought it was going to be. Well done!
Thank you !
I've already played too much games today but yours will be the first I'll play tomorrow
Interesting visual and genre combo with funny narrative.
Great job!
thank you !
Ok so i have tried the game & my impressions aren’t that bad, or that great, its kinda ok, look i can’t really tell if its bad cause i never really played undertail like games tbh, so i will try what i know, The art is kinda … Ok ? it looks like it was rushed/made in mspaint/ made with a mouse, its not bad, its just not the greatest tbh but its alr, the game isn’t that clear & the text moves WAY too fast, the music is kinda nice tho.
Overall, i would kinda give it a solid 3.5 stars , just cause it seems fun & great, just i don’t really understand or know how to play.
As Promissed i tried your game for at least 30m & that’s all what i got, you can if you want to check my game, its up to you pretty much, but that’s it, i think the concept isn’t bad, its just i don’t get it :/
thx for the feedback !
that's alright, tbh it surprises me that all the people loved my game so far XD
yes, the art has been made in Krita in 2h with my mouse. XD I'm a pixel artist but I wanted to try something different. This is not the best art I've ever made (actually, a professional artist friend told me it was, so idk what to think about that. XD)
look, drawing with the brush tool in krita using a mouse is like giving a 1yo kid a pen & a paper to draw, try the line tool instad, it really helps, yeah its slower but kinda give better results from what i saw & tried
Well, I usualy do that. And it's not that you're wrong but... 99% of people so far told me the art was awesome so...
It's just taste :p
yeah, its just different taste’s, but overall good.
