In what way does your game fit the theme?
Pink can only defeat the monsters through relying on her friends' words. If she relies on one friend too much, she loses their support. She has to rely on all of them.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes! The only thing we didn't make is the music because we don't have musical knowledge. But I (Fahrenheit) wrote all of the code, and Oddkey drew all of the art!
It' a super interesting and original idea for the theme!! The graphics of the magical girls are super beautiful and the message you want to convey is very poetic . We need more game like yours with a strong message. The gameplay is very simple but it's enough for now but maybe try to developpe this part for the futur of your game if you want it !
If you have time I would appreciate if you could rate my game too, thanks !
Love the art style, it's very unique. I also like the way your gameplay fits really nicely into the theme. I would love it if the battle system had a bit more strategy to it. I am just more of gameplay first, story second kind of guy. Despsite I think you could make the argument that the point of the battle system is to be a vehicle for the theme. Which I think is perfectly acceptable. Good job on your game!
The game is beautiful! Art is amazing and the theme is unique form all othe games on the jam. Would be cool is there are not one big battle, but several little ones with different themes. Great concept!
The first thing that struck me is how expressive the art is, with only a few images you managed really set a mood and have unique characters that stand out from the rest. I think you could really lean on that notebook / handdrawn aesthetic to have the UI and background be more pleasing, right now they're a bit bland (maybe you can split the fight in 3 parts, one for each enemy, and for each new one you turn the page?). The overall theme and message is very wholesome.
I think the main thing that could be eventually improved is just making the game more "gamey", right now it almost feels like a visual novel. Maybe there could be an incentive for choosing a specific message? Right now I felt like you could just click and do whatever, as long as you're switching up friends things were okay. So introducing things that force you to think more about your words would be great.
Thank you so much for taking the time to play and write a review!!
We do have plans for an improved version after the jam, with ideas we didn't have the time to develop during the week, including more strategy for the fight and better differenciation between the monsters. As it is, the monsters are differents (and there's a secret 4th one!) but it's not easy to see who is saying what so the identification might be messy...
We'll absolutely try to work on the backgrounds now that we have the time! Your notebook idea is interesting ^^
Again, thank you :D
(EDIT: accidentally posted too soon _ _")
Green's dog is adorable!
Great game, really liked it. I even got teary eyes at the end.
The art is great! I wished the background was a notebook or something.
I kind of imagined it as red's notebook and her drawing her friends to keep her calm and fight her depression.
I will also note that in terms of game deisgn, I didn't really think much about what to do, or who to call.
Would be nice if there were different enemy types, and each color is effective on each enemy type, but that is a bit more complex and in a game jam must be hard to do.
Well done!
That is so sweet. I really love your interpretation of this being her writing her inner turmoil in her notebook, so cool!!
Fun fact: The monsters are different from each other and have different dialogue. Which dialogue gets thrown at you is random though. Can you guess which monster is what?
Also, there's a bonus monster if you don't call for your friends four times, it's Loneliness :D
We made it so someone playing normally can't lose easily, but there's ways to lose against the monsters hehe
Sorry for going on a rant, your response just made me so giddy! Promise: In V2, we'll draw green's dogo.
Well, now I appreciate the game even more!
The loneliness one is really clever. Stuff like that in the game just make it such a better experience.
I actually think that it's really fitting that you won't lose easily, that should stay 100%. The game's charm is not about the fighting, but it sure adds to my personal experience having to understand what I need to do in each turn, decision making is huge for me.
Don't be sorry, that's the point of the jam! I can see you and your partner have a lot of things you want to add and do which is awesome!
Good luck!!
Thank you so much!!
As my partner in crime said, the monsters are differents, but it's true that as the game currently is it's not easy to guess which monster is saying what... We do have plans to improve the game after the jam tho, using ideas we didn't have time to develop and people's reviews!
Your notebook idea is really cute, I love your interpretation ^^
Again, thank you for taking the time to play and review our game :D
Wow, that game is genial, it's so well done, and the music, nice, i want to see a complete version as soon as possible
This is great. I like the hand-drawn art style and the way the message was conveyed was powerful.
I really really really enjoyed this game and the message you send through it. I love games like this... and I love this game. Keep up the great work!
I am so happy it had a positive impact !! You can definitely interpret it as being made for you, it's canon now :D
I was kind of worried generally of handling the subject of mental health clumsily, since it's such a different thing for each person. That it resonates with some people is what makes it worthwhile!
Thank you.
Wow, the ending really hit hard and was a really good twist. The entire writing of all this is also very emotional, and everything hits really hits home. <3
Decreasing the time between animations might help make the flow better to increase the already great immersion! But otherwise this could really be expanded into a larger story world / RPG, the concept is great.
Thanks for sharing! I can tell this was created / written from a really deep part of you, and really appreciate you sharing that with us.
Wow, such an interesting game idea. I love it! And the art is really cool 😊
The artwork as well as the message of the game is quite nice, however, it would be nice if the animations were a bit faster so the game would pick up the pace.
I love the art in this game! The fighting need a bit more strategy but otherwise its great!
