Swapping between enemies and players on death is a really cool idea! After completing my life goal I did end up getting softlocked (maybe that was intentional?) but other than that, great job, I love the animations!

Developer

There was supposed to be a section where a screen with everything you did pops up but it seems that bugged out. Will have it fixed in the post jam patch! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for playing!

Awesome!! When a player dies, the way the opponent becomes a new player is unique and I like it! Also wiggling effects are cool. 

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the wiggling! Thank you for playing!

That was such a great idea for the theme. I feel like this would work great as a larger project too. Good work!

Developer

I'm glad to hear that you think so, thank you for playing!

A nice little classic JRPG! Quite an interesting interpretation of the theme. The art and audio assets were pretty nice. I found that using potions were very powerful in this game since you can use multiple very turn but other than that I thought the gameplay was pretty well thought out! Nice game!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it. Maybe that's a bit op, I'm gonna work on balancing it a bit more. Thank you for playing!

ohhh, nice interpretation on the theme! :D It really lets you take on both perspectives of the story! The art style is also really good, i really dig the heavy outlines on the characters. My one minor complaint is that i think I found a typo in the main menu, where the first button says "Being Journey" instead of "Begin Journey" lol. Besides that, I really enjoyed the game!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I know there's some spelling issues, I'll certainly how them fixed up for the post jam patch!

A super interesting concept and great way of encouraging the player to learn about both groups in the story. It really hits home the idea that your enemy is a person with a life and a story, since when you die, you assume that story. I also really liked the environmental storytelling that explored the contrast between the groups, especially the way the human's classism was depicted. Overall, I think you had a really cool idea and you executed it really well!

Developer(+1)

I'm so glad that the ideas came through, I wanted to show how the monsters are struggling with the humans taking over their lands while the humans in the city were oblivious to anything other than their own personal problems. Thank you for playing!

nice game, the attack sound I really was not expecting that.  you did a lot of work in such a short time, interesting game mechanic switch the player with the enemy after each battle, but it should have been more noticeable on the player character that is being controlled in the game screen.  good job !

Developer

Thank you for playing, you're absolutely right I need to make it more obvious the first time around.

Definitely an interesting concept and it kept me wanting to continue to complete the quests. Thanks!

Very cool game! I didn't understand which character I was for a while because I didn't realize I was switching places with the people I lost to but that's a really cool mechanic I haven't seen before. Art style was great, SFX were great, and story was great. Small detail but for a game that looks this polished I enjoy a more stylized font (but that could just be me). Overall great job!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words. I definitely need to make it clearer that the characters are swapping, will make sure to work on that and will make sure to implement a better font in the future.

Fun to play, I haven't seen any that type of game in this jam so far. Music and art was also great, good job!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing!

This is a cool game, almost like Pokémon, but you become the Pokémon you lost to. It was fun to play and explore the charming world.

Developer

That's a actually a really cool comparison, maybe I'll have a mini section where you can be the number one animal! Thank you for playing!

many features for one week not bad, there is a lot of your time in it

Developer

Thank you for playing. Yeah I went a little overboard for this jam..

Submitted(+1)

The game is very fun, A lot of effort was put into it, I see potential in this game! 

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it, I'm going to keep trying to develop this post jam!

Hey Pretty cool concept!!

Developer

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

One of the best games i’ve played! The idea of switching protagonists when you die is really creative and I think you have made a really fun game out of this idea. The only feedback I have is to balance the game a bit more because I could defeat monsters really easily as a human but not the other way around. Otherwise, super great game!

Developer

I'm really glad you liked the game! You're absolutely right about the balance, it's a bit skewed I'll work on that for future patches.

Great game, one of the best I've played! I love the idea and that everyone has their own life goal. Another thing is the movement for me it feels cool to not have it grid based. Really enjoyable, my only issue is the balancing I guess, because enemies randomly hit you for absurd damage and I feel that playing as a human is somehow much easier? 

Developer

You're abosulutly right the balance is out of wack, never had this many enemies in a game before so trying to balance them was a bit of a swing and a miss. Will make sure to equalize the roles in future patches! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for playing!

Very unique and ambitious game! I like the smooth movement and the visual effects in combat. The music fits very well. Well done, keep it up!

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm glad it all came together as well as it did!

Really cool use of the theme.  I really enjoyed playing this game and it looks like a ton of work went into making it.  Great job!

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I might have work a bit toooooo much on it, I bit off way too many systems to implement and had to do a mad rush to make it playable.

Neat concept!  Ive always liked the idea of seeing things through multiple points of view in a game.

Developer

Glad you liked it! Thank you for playing!
