Great idea, nice graphics, good sounds and becoming reach is nearly impossible for plebs? 10/10 all perfect

Developer

Thank you for playing! The game certainly needs some balancing in the fights but I'm glad you like it!

Well done, I like the grafics and the whole world you created. Maybe a tutorial at the beginning would be nice, but great job!

Developer

Post patch I will work on setting up a tutorial! Thank you for playing!

You made a huge world in this game, well done. The gimmick is super cool. However I figured if you were entering a combat that you won't win it's always better to do your least damaging attacks possible so your next character has more health, which doesn't feel that fun a way to play (deliberately losing). I'd love to see this concept expanded further.

Also if you are planning on making a narrative game like this, I'd 100% recommend you to have someone read over the dialogue/narrative, even if just a friend or family member. Even the main menu had the typo: "being adventure", which makes zero sense (you were looking for the word "begin"), and there were at least 10 other occurrences in dialog or objectives that didn't make any sense to read. They weren't even simple misspellings or grammar mistakes that people would recognize but made the sentences complete nonsense.


I'm not trying to be critical of this, but if you are planning on releasing a game with narrative as a focus this is truly vital or people won't enjoy it.

But I really hope you expand upon this sorta idea, I think you made something truly innovative so well done! 💛

Definitely right about the spelling and all. Sadly it was the last thing I did in a mad rush before uploading the game so I didn't get a chance to proof read it, gonna have it all fixed up in the post jam. 

I do need to make changing of character more fulfilling, not sure how I'm going to approach that yet but it's something I'll keep in the back of my head. 

Thank you for playing!

I was so confused because I forgot to read the description, but the idea is great and the game looks fully fledged out!

Developer

Glad you liked it, it definitely needs a better intro, will make sure to fix that up for post jam!
