Wow. So impressed by how polished the UI, battle animations, cutscenes, soundtrack and pretty much everything is!

I also liked the battle sprites though they seemed a bit lower resolution than many of the assets. Could swear I've seen those battlers somewhere (though the main char was custom I'm pretty sure).

Mechanics were solid.

I really dig "health as a resource" in battle systems but I'd never seen it used as an exploration resource before, except maybe annoying damage floors.

The shield was a good inclusion to add a timing mechanic to the big sentry bots (unfortunately I didn't figure this out until burning 3 Health vials haha).

My only detraction in terms of the battle system is that using TP on non-boss fights is detrimental because you probably need 50 or 100 TP to use the alpha strike if it turns into a DPS race (which by definition it always is). Counter-intuitively, you get so many MP vials that MP is actually a pretty plentiful resource and TP is at a premium, which is backwards from most games. It's a pretty small and subjective gripe really, it was still tons of fun and next time I'd just use the MP abilities more.

Heeeeey! Nice mechanic. It was fun to go against  the clock. I like the battle system, nice skills and nice setup with shields and stuff.

My only complaint is that I dont think you can beat the last boss without one health potion(forgot the name). I was out of them so I backtracked to the the vending machine.  But what if I dont have any money left=? Or what if the player didn't discovered the vending machine?]

They would be softlocked.  Otherwise, very neat entry!

It's another fantastic entry by Starmage! Everyone here has said what I would say. Great job!

Really enjoyed this Starmage! Very well done, polished, and just right in length for a jam. It has a story arc while establishing that it's part of a larger story/universe. Had similar battle mechanics to the Cyber Lord game, so I felt at home. Was even simpler with one character and just a few mobs.

The memory leak was a pretty cool mechanic that made the game feel dangerous, although there were plenty of memory spots to regain health, and a decent amount of healing items as well. I liked the battle music as well. 

This is the kind of gold standard for jam games. Just about free of bugs (as far as I could tell), concise, wastes not a second of time, and tells a complete story. I wish we could see more entries that have the love and care invested in them as this one. I think the only thing I noticed is the word "burm" instead of burn.

Great job Starmage! I think you've got this jam thing down really well at this point.

Great game! It looked beautiful, great job on the lighting. 

The balance was excellent, victory was likely but not certain as long as you're tactical with all of the cool skills. A little danger always adds spice to the playthrough, and to victory when it's achieved.

Good story, and the memory orbs were a nice extra.

The scenes are incredibly well made, I thoroughly enjoyed watching them! I also found the health mechanic challenging and interesting. This was really fun, great job!

I like the music, the story and most of the gameplay. It needs a skip button, died at least 2 times. But the game isn't unfair, it's challenging. I believe it's better to fight the guards instead of running away, that's a little odd.

Starmage can't make simple games, like a Pong or something like that. No, this game has good music, good design => We can 'feel' the emergency and be as implied as the hero in his attempt to free himself. Top of that the battlers are really nice and the battles are challenging. No, it's not pong. We must rate this high now...
