Good game, pretty entertaining. I wish there was a better indication about what each effect meant, or how I can possible get rid of them (one level I ended up with a full ring of effects, mostly being drunk from wine). I also didnt know I had to click the button below a new skill to learn it so I was very underpowered with no way to correct it I could find. Other than needing a bit of a tutorial I think this was a really solid game!

Loved loved loved the presentation of this game, the animations and effects were amazing! While the status effects orbiting characters looked nice, I struggled to see what the effects were actually doing, and I could never work out what the audience wanted!

The Ringing of Psychic BellsAmazing game! There's only one problem: with the UI placement and text wrapping. Other than this, it's just perfect in every way! I love it. I kinda got too lucky with my run though (with the final boss), but I had fun nonetheless.
Followed, added to collection, would LOVE to play this game again when you update it, if possible.

The Wanted IllusionistHero: DIE DIE DIE
Jhon: is drunk
The audience really liked that!
This game gave me big Undertale vibes, and I have to say, I'm all for it. The fact that you had to reach a certain level of popularity before finishing off the opponent added a whole new layer of strategy. Though, and I think this is a bug, the end of battle fanfare plays over the battle music, which is really unpleasant.

DreamtA turn based game that is surprisingly engaging! I went in without reading the instructions and basically tried to figure out the system as I played along. I think its actually more fun this way to experiment with the different abilities and figuring out what the buffs did. God ray basically 1 shots the enemy before i can even build up popularity.

Mystic GraverobberReally surprised me with how much content there was! I loved the attack sounds and animations, a way to click through dialogue instead of waiting would be nice though. Overall really good

Illusions of a HeroVery impressive submission! I liked the humor and the type of combat, but like you said on discord the first boss is stupidly annoying. His multiattack seems to heal a bunch of health when he intimidates and I dont do much damage, even when drunk. However the music and art were wonderful, great stuff!

Days of DescentQuite an interesting game, with some pretty cool turn-based mechanics. If it were continued I'd love a more controlled way to see your stats, change your moves, and get to know the system better.
Apart from that though, the music was a little repetitive and clashed quite a bit when two sets of background music played at once. Not very pleasant to hear, heh.
Overall though, pretty good job.
