I loved the art style and music here. I feel like there is something here if you were to build this out further. Impressive work.
Very fun game! I enjoyed the graphics and gameplay and found myself playing for quite a while. The scale really kept the gameplay fresh.
Excellent game! Ilove the graphic and BGM in the game. Hats off to your work. Great job!
Art was good and game had a solid idea to grow on.
I would definitely make more slots to fill in the scale and make enemies also use it. Some skills even needing exact balances. Like you have to have 3 moon ,2 sun in your turn to unleash a powerful attack.
Some random events changing it. Dying enemies also change it. In short I would make it more strategic because in the current play mostly I was using 1 guy to charge stuff for the other and that was it.
Ending was unexpected and funny. I hope pally is not serious :)
Great job guys! Feels like a ready to sell game! Great art, funny intro and overall nice atmosphere, I really enjoyed playing it!
Very nice game. Graphics are great, musics and sound effects work well. The gameplay is well balanced, and I also enjoyed the little cinematic at the beginning that sets the tone of the game. Awesome work !
Liked the art very much, it is quite unique! The music is quite immersive, would love it if the sound effects have more impact when hitting. Loved the boon system very much! really enhances the customizablity. Being able to use keyboard to control is good.
It is hard to see enemy information because it is displayed on a timeline, if show above enemy head is better.
The light and dark system is quite interesting, i quite like it, dealing more damage to enemy of opposite type. The scale plays as a very interesting game mechanic, I used some time to understand it, it is like a annoying mana system in a fun way lol. Adds more strategy thinking to the game. As soon as I realised, I was playing along with the system.
The balancing is good, just right.
One of the more fun games i tried! Awesome job!
Awesome game great job, was really fun trying to figure out all the mechanics and the art is amazing :). Would actually love to see a full game from this!
What a charming little RPG, I really like the scale gimmick, it's fun and easy to understand due to all the little icons and it fits the theme. The art is nice and charming too, fits the feel of the game if that makes any sense. I don't know what to say in terms of improvement, I haven't personally run into any bugs, and although there's a limited amount of content, that is to be expected in a game jam. This game has a bunch of potential if expanded upon! Great work!
A really charming game! The character and enemy art is lovely, the UI is well designed, combats are fun, the boon system leaves space for a more complex game design in the future if different boons are added, I was enjoying my playthrough really much.
A couple notes on things to improve:
-The theme of Scales, while present is a bit of an afterthought, since mostly the scales feel like the usual mana system, you could have the same game without the scale and it wouldn't miss much.
-A bug ocurred during my playthrough where if you cast the Curse of Strength during the Rootsnarl battle while a companion is dead, the battle will stop progressing.
But! Even though the game basically froze after a good while playing it, I went back to finish it, so take that as a sign that there's potential here, it's an accomplishment to get a player to retry your game and you managed perfectly. With little more work and some variation to the boons I could see this being released as a full game! n-n
The game is really cool but the upgrades are a little hard to understand, but overall, really cool game!
