YOOOOOO 20TH PLACE

Submitted

This game is remember me to another rpg game like mario and luigi, golden sun, persona, etc
And this game is cool cause it's 2.5d, but the game is short and i want to more boss fight

Submitted

This game really amazed me with its innovation. 

When the player died I instantly thought of Egipt gods when I saw the god. Also, the characters looked very Egipt. 

One of the best games from this jam.

Really amazing game! I really love it! I grew up with the Mario and Luigi Saga, Pokemon, Undertale, etc. so I'm a really big fan of RPGs, especially this type of them! Good Job! I really like how these graphics match with the rest of the game and the humor of the game! Though sometimes there were some inacurracies in the story and balancing. How is a random Boats Man stronger than a literal god? And I'm not that into egyptian religion, so I don't know who that last guy was, but if he is not a god, how is he stronger than a god and the boatsman that's stronger than the god? Another issue I had was that the game lacks a bit in juice and polish, but since you had school (same for me, so I can really relate), this isn't that big of a deal. Overall really fun, I really enjoyed this game and I think it's way too underrated even with these issues, Great Job, one of my favorites so far!

I would post the end screen, but Itch.io sadly doesn't let me :(

This was an unexpected gem! LOVE jam games with intros (this one had full cutscenes!!!) and 2.5D in games,  so this was already in my alley. The gameplay is a little stale for a turn-based rpg (Didn't expect more from a game made in a week nevertheless) but the whole thing is very impressive! I had a lot of fun, sadly got softlocked when my main died and I still tried to attack an enemy with him 😋

GREAT job!!

Submitted

great story the fights were kinda repetitive and the other powers rather than attack weren't really useful till the boss fight so you maybe could make'em more useful  but overall great job my friend 

Submitted

This is an excellent game that I highly recommend, so go ahead and give it a try! Overall, the developer has done a phenomenal job, and I can't wait to see what they come up with next. One aspect of this game that I appreciated was its humor, which added an enjoyable level of randomness.  fantastic work!

Submitted

This was one of my favorite games in the jam. I love the look and the story, it filled with atmosphere. Great work! Only two things I could point out is the text sfx peaks, and it hurts the ears when wearing headphones, the other being a bug where if you tap space too quickly while the enemy is near end of their attack you will select the area where they stood while hitting you making you whiff. Minor things that can easily be fixed. Fantastic work! Keep it up!

Submitted

That was very well done for the limited time you had. I ran into a couple of glitches with the enemies respawning in the overworld and I could just push them around lol. But it felt like Paper Mario at home in the best way possible. Great job.

Submitted

cool game!!!

I rate it 

So plz rate my game

Here is my game-https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-9/rate/1933204

wow this game is really good, the art is great and all the cinematics and animations really make the game pop.  definitely deserves more ratings. only thing i would critique is the combat becomes a bit bland and I don't see much of a reason to defend but really good game none the less

Submitted

Hey, the game is fantastic, I wonder why there aren't many reviews. I love dialogues and cutscenes. Art is also impressive! Great job!

I've never played Paper Mario, but I can confidently notice that this Game took at least some inspiration from it.
I really enjoyed this Game's sense of humor and I can see a huge potential for this Game to be turned into a bigger release, Great Job!
Well, what else You expect me to say? Good Gam, Highj Recomendd, 11/10 Go Play It & All That Jazz, You've done a Grand Job here Dev!

PS: funny glitch lol: 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!  I'm not  going to lie, I have no idea why that happens lol. You've probably already found out but it happens after the next fight as well. Love the video  name by the way, tomfoolery lol :D

Submitted

yup it indeed happens in the next fight lmao, i believe it could be fixed by simply removing the enemy GameObjects after the fight concludes, had a grand amount of fun!

Submitted(+1)

This is a really awesome game. I like the music, 2.5d art, characters, and storyline.

The only thing that could be improved is the fighting mechanic, because it gets repetitive after a while. But other than that, great game!

Developer

I was going to add more spells, but unfortunately due to time constriants had to leave each character with only one ability and one attack. Eventually I hope to design a better system lol. Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Wow, this game is brilliant. I enjoyed every minute. The story is incredible, the graphics are so simple and nice. Keep it up!

Submitted(+1)

This is incredible.  Amazing work for 7 days.  Yea it has some glitchy things with the camera and the character, but wow.  Well done!  

Submitted(+1)

Blown away by how good this is. You've got dialogues, cutscenes, 2.5d style . It's great, I'd just watch out for the layering the character seemed to go behind the ladder and bridge at times

Submitted(+1)

Okay, from the very first second, I KNEW it was you! Plastic Pals was my favorite entry last jam, and you have a very recognisable style ^^.

This game is really good ^^. A bit less polished that plastic pals, but the ending text explained why, and it's still a LOT MORE polished than what we could expect for a game jam ^^.

The graphics are awesome, the gameplay is interesting, and the humor is awesome ^^. Always a pleasure to play your games, congratulations =)

Developer

I'm surprised and stoked that you remember Plastic Pals!
Thanks for playing our games :D
