That was a smooth playthrough for me! Thank you for the entry. Impressively polished for a jam! Appreciated the short story exposition in the beginning to give a little context as to why I was in the woods. The woods looked great by the way :)

This was very fun, actually finished it and got the Orb and got kicked out of the game hahaha. Good job. Nice visuals, nice movement, combat was cool, though as many said, I never used anything but the standard attacks. Didn't lose my way in the dungeon and that is saying a lot. Overall, very impressive, you got a lot done for a game jam.

Calderan Chronicles - PrologueYou really finished it, very cool of you :)
In my mind, that is the kick off, for a saturday morning cartoon show style game (think He-Man), where the party gets cool super powers from the orb and is now able to fight the big baddie, who comes down from his evil mountain every week, to fuck with the academy.
Very nice, but needs more work on balancing, as battles were over way before I could use any of the abilities. Also, the game crashed on me when I tried to attack the boar (?) enemy.

Freebooter of SPLORR!!Knives...hmm, I actually don`t know anymore. There is actually a female zombie, but I think, that I did not include a mob, which had that version in it. I whish I had another day to work on the game. The enemy placement was just going through the maps and putting something in there for 3 minutes. Anyway, thanks for the comment :)
Oh, I have seen now, that you streamed the game. Very cool of you and yes the game is hand rolled, but in C# :)
What a wonderful game, and what a technical accomplishment! SDL for a Game Jam, congratulations man!
I love this game, exploration was really fun, combat was simple but effective and the story was really well made. I had a great time on your game, thank you :)

Shiro's DungeonI enjoyed playing this, until it crashed on 2nd floor of the dungeon. NullReferenceException on a goblin(?). Apart from that this is a nice dungeon crawler which feels like a proper one at places. Movement needs a bit of work, especially the turning, for it to feel "right" but that's a minor issue. I would've liked to open up a big map of the area since it makes it easier to navigate, but at least you had an automapper which is a bonus. The stairs going down which you actually walk down is a nice touch.
I didn't completely understand the different skills and how/when to use them and how you would get more action points, but the combat was still enjoyable. I would really like to see you continue working on this game because it's got massive potential :)

Kingdom of YergovalReally nice visual style, nice variety in environments, however could have used some detail in the environments to help with navigation, for instance your use of lighting transformed the level very cleverly to make the most out of a limited amount of textures which was great, but you could have used similar tricks to 'pull' the player towards the goals of each level. Unfortunately as it was, I found myself staring at the map more than the areas around the player. Really impressive overall, had fun playing it!
