Loved the graphics, but I could pass the third gobelin and was not able to shoot like you said on the game description. I definitely have to try gb studio
Thank you very much for playing the game. I have received several feedbacks about the goblin king stage so I think it must be some kind of bug. I'll try to figure it out and improve the mechanic for the next game :)
Love the use of a four-color gameboy color palette!
Thank you very much :)
Thank you for the game. I liked its stylish and pleasant visuals and varying gameplay.
Is it possible to defeat the goblin boss? I think I shot at him 50 times to no effect. Also, there are some problems with stuck keys. The wizard continues moving while you don’t press a key.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I set the amount of times you should hit goblin king in order to beat the game and it's way less than 50 so it's definitely a bug, so sorry about that :( But I hope you enjoy the game and thank you for playing it :)
I liked the graphics, they are so cute!!! But the game itself feels very laggy, idk why, but it would be nice if you could fix that (maybe it's a control problem, not a game problem)
Also, the level design is weird - sometimes there is a tree in the ground (how is that possible?)
Also, I couldn't kill the boss, I shot him for about a minute and nothing changed... It's very strange...
Still, the dialogue and graphics are amazing! Nice try!
Thank you very much. I think the lag might come from the control setting which I need to learn more how to balance it better. I set the number of hits you have to do in order to beat the boss but I think it might be better to put like a health bar in the future game. Thank you very much for your feedback :)
The game has visuals I like, reminding me of old-school games. I enjoyed your game and spent time with it until the end. Great job!
Thank you very much :)
Loved the retro style! I don't know if I got stuck on the last boss tho, or if he just has way too much health. All around, I very much enjoyed your game!
Thank you for playing my game. I think maybe I set HP too high. I didn't know how to put health bar in GB Studio yet, I'll find a way to do it on case I'll make this type of game again in the future :)
What a fun little game. Nice!
Thank you very much :)
love the look! got stuck when fighting the last goblin, and somehow ended up in an infinite loop where we were on top of each other, but other than that it worked well! :)
Oh no lol XD Thank you very much for playing my game :)
i think the visuals look great, very nice job.
Thank you very much :)
Fun little game! The art turned out great with the limited palette.
Thank you very much :)
I love the minimalist design in green tones. Good job.
Thank you very much :)
Cute little game. I enjoyed the GBA feel, took me back to feeling like I was playing Pokemon. Controls were a little lose, but it's a good start. Keep at it!
Thank you very much :)
Really liked it :D
Simple gameplay but with very much variation in game styles. The art looks really good too!
Keep up the good work :)
Thank you very much :)
Nice, simple and cute game! Movement feels a bit wrong sometimes, but I liked it!
Thank you very much :)
Really cute small game! I finished it quick and really enjoyed it! Well done!!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)
This one has great pixel art!
Thank you very much :)
Very cute! Great job.
Thank you very much :)
I really enjoyed this, you've done amazingly with the limited palette. It really has old school RPG vibes, even down to starting in your house and them moving into the overworld! Great work, especially since you're new to gamedev.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoy the game :)
Nice little game! I love the variety in the gameplay! Very polished dialogue/cutscene system for the time window too! Great work!
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoy the game :)
Cool audio and looks, I'm sure it was tough to make all this with so few colors.
I couldn't get very far but I did enjoy both the product and the concept.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)
