I thoroughly enjoyed this one!! The games presentation is great. Graphics and music work really well together, battle system seemed balanced although more items are definitely needed and enemies need more money. After I ate the first carrot cake I kinda struggled. I loved the earthbound style encounter system. I will say, the story didn’t really capture me too much and it did seem like it was lacking personality in my opinion. My main question I had in my mind is, “I like this quirky little character but why is she trying to save the world? What’s her motivation. And Athena Sparkle seemed a little too trusting at first. Like “I just met you but now we are going to save the world together.”I did love the quirky touches with the zooming in on the player as she screams “I LOOOOOOVE CARROT Cake!” Overall I rated the game a 4. Good luck! I hope you will consider playing and rating my entry.

Thank you very much for playing and rating my game! This means a lot!
Well, Akeli has her personal reasons for trying to save the world (despite saving her own life), but I didn't really had the opportunity to show it. I had a lot planned for this game, but I had to keep things simple or I would risk not finishing it at all. That's the problem of being a solo dev. Too much to do and no time at all. And well, Alhena is a kid who sees a pretty scary creature being beaten by a girl in a superhero costume, promising to save her from a doomed world. But I agree with you that she trusted a little too easy. When working on a definitive version, I plan on giving the story and characters a little more work.
And I will definitely take a look at your game! This jam brought some really interesting projects. Just hope I have time to play everything!
