First of all, this game is impressive for a jam. It is an ambitious turn based rpg with really interesting mechanics. I really like how you implemented transmutation into the battle system, it is a really cool take on the theme. The presentation is quite unique too, I found it really charming and it reminds me to Earthbound. However, I got stuck after battling the fish and I could not progress further no matter what I did. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if this is a bug. Either way, this was a really cool game and I hope this becomes a full game in the future.

hey there! yes the snail is a bit of a gate :D the trick is the snail is salt, so you need to combine Earth and Water moves in order to damage its capture bar. If you don't you will defeat it before it is captured, and progress is gated by whether you have captured the snail :D
thank you SO much for the kind words though
