How does the game fit the theme?
You can either choose to fight the boss immediately, or walk around a bit and see if you can find a way to be stronger. Both have their fair share of risks.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

I love the story development of this game, genuinely would play longer if I didn't want to check out other games! The gameplay is so fun and the story is very rich and told at a very good rate. This is literally a game I would buy on steam. My only recommendation would be to add more indicators for things like cooldown of the abilities you get or how much damage you deal/get, which would be especially good for strategies with the attack that risks health. Good game overall!
Thank you so much for playing! The combat was the hardest part of making this game and there were so many little things I wanted to add. If I ever come back to the game or the combat system, I'll definitely be implementing most (if not all) of the things you mentioned! I've had thoughts about expanding the game possibly in the future, which would include expanding the world, story, combat, and more :D Thanks again for playing!
art, visuals are so cool, and sounds too
Thank you!
I like the art and music. It took me a couple turns in battle to figure out I needed to move in front of the enemy I wanted to attack. Overall, great job!
Thank you! Glad you figured that out!
Amazing art, especially loved the pixel version of Vyra. Think it could be cool to add a parry ability, so that you can still decide to sit and tank the hit, but you have an option to block it if you press the right key in time (or something to that effect). Overall, thought this was great though and so impressive for just one person!
Thank you so much! The combat took the majority of the time spent working on the jam. I'll definitely be polishing it a lot more if I ever come back to it!
Visuals are very good and going to final boss whenever you want is cool idea but I wish there was visual or sound feedback in fight.
Me too, honestly. I really wanted to add more visual cues to attacks, especially with bosses. And I wanted to add some sound effects too. But I was so pressed for time that I couldn’t. Thanks for playing and the critique!!
Very cool visuals, combat feels kinda slow and lacking but very understandable with such limited time and developing it solo!
Thank you! Definitely took on too much with the combat, but I'm glad it still works!
A great game, enjoyed it! I feel like dodging could be improved, because you usually end up either tanking the damage or just standing in the corner unable to do something else. which is a problem just in normal battles, bossfights were cool. Really enjoyed it!
Thanks for the critique and for playing! I definitely feel like the dodging wasn’t all that great. Especially if you were only up against one normal enemy. If I ever decide to improve the game after the rating period, I’ll definitely be working on improving the combat!
The art is super cool, but i can't get back after i lose
Is that due to a glitch, or the game being too difficult? Thanks for playing anyway!
Just a small thing, but adding a restart button would make it better tho:)))
Ah, yeah, you're probably right! I'm not sure if adding that would count as a bug fix for the jam period, though, so for now, just refreshing the page will let you restart! Thanks for the advice!
Love the visual! Could improve on battle UI~
Thank you! If I had more time, I definitely would’ve!
The combat was actually pretty fun and I am generally not a fan of turn based combat. Visuals and vibe were all excellent, easy to forgive the UI, it was extremely functional :)
I’m so glad you liked it! If I had more time, I definitely would’ve worked harder to find a solution to the UI resolution.
The battle is slow, but I love the strategic aspect of it! Great game with some good storytelling :)
Thank you so much!
I can see the effort put into this, I love it
The combat is slow but that's understandable due to time limitation, but the core gameplay loop and the aesthetic is on point.
I'm on team Vyra tho, hehe
Thank you! A lot of work definitely went into this. I'm glad you liked it!
Awesome art / character design and world building! I think the battle system is a bit slow but that's personal taste :) Really admire the JRPG dialogue system, really creative approach! Glad to see that some people take creative and unconventional (but well executed) approaches to this theme, kudos :)) Rated!
Thank you so much! This took way too much work, so I'm glad it paid off! :)
Really love the vibe it has !!! and the art is pretty good !!
Thank you so much!!
I really enjoy the game. The visual is really cool too.
Thank you!
Very impressive to have all this in a game in just a week! I really loved the art and animations, well done on this!!
Thank you so much! This was the most effort I've ever put into a game jam game. I'm glad it paid off!
Awesome game
Thank you!
Awesome concept! Although it does feel a little rough around the edges sometimes I can really see you put your heart and soul into this one. Amazing job dude!
Thank you so much! Really struggled with making this, but I'm glad its still playable!
Very nice start, with some more polishing, it could be great.
Thank you!!
I really enjoyed the game. The combat was very simple, but enjoyable. Unfortunately, the game got stuck after I selected the "end it" option when I beat the boss so I couldn't see the ending.
Oh no! I was afraid something like that would happen. Do you think you could tell me what exactly you did throughout the game so I can see if I can fix it? The endings are dependent on what actions you performed. Mostly with your interactions with the mysterious figures. And if you want, I can even tell you what's supposed to happen when you press it!
I went to the right and saw a mysterious figure, the buff should be about vitality if im not mistaken. I failed the challenge tho, so I went directly for the boss and won
Thanks for telling me! I'll look into it and see if I can fix it!
I believe I fixed the bugs. Thanks for your help!
