This is cool! Congrats on finishing this game for the jam! I really liked the character's design, especially the art at the end. The only thing I would improve would be the movement. His walking wasn't always very responsive.


Great job!

Nice game! I found the battles a bit too easy, but the art made up for it, also nice touches with the objects lying around in the scenario! it was very wholesome :)

I really loved the hand drawn art at the end, you could make a cute little story with this as a base for sure. The tileset looked really good too, very dream-like.

The storytelling in this game was interesting, nice job on adding some interactable object other than juice box, they gave more depth in story, The graphics and overworld design somehow reminds me of Undertale, which is a good thing. Also good job on making a variety of movesets for character in combat, it could be expanded easily.

However, the bully was too easy to win since there are too much term between attacks, so player can just spam attack key to win. Also I wish the design for bullies had more variation, it feels kinda repetitive for now.

Overall, nice job :)

This is such a neat idea and has loads of style! The controls on the map felt a little delayed, but overall good work!

Really cool game, the controls seems to have a little delay and if you corner the bullies and attack them non-stop they don't even have a chance to attack you back, but ignoring that, it's a really fun game, and the art at the end was so cute, nice job!

nice game, the map seemed a little too lengthy

i wish there were more enemies since fighting was pretty fun

the fightning mechanics could have more depth though

the map made with clouds were pretty good , reminded me of earth bound

one thing that was kind of strange was the when moving across the map, switching directions had some type of delay..

the character design was top-notch

Nice game, Rated it! If possible do rate and play my game :)

Pretty fun to beat up the bully; although he barely attacked me, so I felt like the bully sometimes 😅.  Would have liked to have less distance between items / fights in the overworld, as walking around similar-looking landscapes felt unnecessary.

Developer

Thanks for playing! The overworld experience could've been much better overall, the comment really helps! Thank you so much!

Such a fun game! It's so cool to see a RPG with fights that are actually a fighting game. And this idea looks very promising! The possible combos the player can do and the different bullies that can exist... It can be a very interesting full game!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing and for the nice comments! Thank you for seeing the possibilities with this idea!

The animations were really good for such a short amount of time. This was also the only fighting game I've played in the jam, so good job using a unique genre.

Good game! the color and art style is cute and I got enjoy with it, good job!

Submitted(+1)

Very cute little game, really like the art (the final images were very cute!)! The combat is way too easy though, I didnt get hit a single time, also it looks like the movement is not very responsive, but it didn't really bother me.

Submitted(+1)

Good game! A few parts feel a bit long, and the fights with the bullies are a little too easy. However the sprites are really beautiful, and the in-game tutorials really help!

The art and background music were cool. Some of the paths felt unnecessarily long, but overall it was a nice experience!

Submitted(+1)

The art style was super cute, especially the end screen! I really liked the pixelart animations on the player and the bullies! Very cute game! One thing I might suggest, and I know this probably due to the time constraint, would be to polish up the background art! I noticed the empty Unity background could be seen during certain points of the game! That's really a minor and easily fixable thing though! Good work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! Thanks for the suggestions about the background art! It's one of the things I just left and wasn't able to come back to.  Thanks for the rating!
