Story: I quite liked the story and it was solid for a game jam. Good job.
Graphics: Very nice and I scored highly, probably would be my graphical winner or at least close but the change between pixel art on maps and the battle style. Still great job for a gamejam.
Music: Thank you for now blowing my ears out with rm default volumes, it was nice to play a game where master level was 100% and my brain wasn’t being blow out of my head. Good job.
Comedy: It was fine, acceptable.
Gameplay: I found this a slog to be honest. Not bad just slow, battle were ralatively slow for me, as was map movement speed and having to click multiple times to get a save. Also a high random encounter rate on such small maps.
In combat I feel the player was lacking a lot of agency. Removing 1/4 of the early party from my control, than the required sacrificing of turns on Therese meant there was turns where I only had 2 useable characters. Combine this with Marsha being essentially a use single fire, single thunder or AoE fire and the first few battles were a real slog with only Lucius having any real gameplay. This did get considerably better when I got Harold in the party and a few more skils and the end battles despite the high hp were a saving grace.
All in all, its a jam and you did a great job in the time given. This one with better pacing, less randoms would have been a potential winner for me.
