Alright, this is amazing so far. Love the presentation, especially the cutscenes and the RTP music is really well chosen. The tactics system is pretty good and the game doesn't seem super hard at this point, which was my experience with previous RPG Maker tactics games, so great job on balancing. It was a bit weird that the Slimes were ranged monsters that could attack you through trees and fences, but it's ok, especially for a game jam game, this is really something special!

So far, the only negative I can mention is that during the first mission, you are told to get to the end of the field to leave. However, when you get to the end of the road, you are then supposed to use a newly appeared Leave command like when you interact with chests. Took a while before I figured that that's how you are supposed to move on. My suggestion is that you make that clearer, otherwise great job :)

I'm really glad you're enjoying it so far!
About the leave command, that's something I didn't consider... I should probably make it clearer whenever an object is interactable or not, like some kind of visual indication. I'll address that in a future update. Thanks for the feedback and hope you keep playing!
