Fun little battler. The voxel art style works well and the music fits nicely. I found the bite move a bit overpowered since it doesn't really cost anything. Impressive work for just 2 days on your own! well done

Awesome stuff completing this in 2 days! Loved the 8 bit music and sound effects. Only tweaks I could see for it is to have the moves cost something since right now I can just spam bite and win just about all the battles. Another fun adage could be keeping the health and items from the previous battles and carry that over and see how the player deals with that. Awesome stuff!

Thanks you so much for your feedback! :D

Actually, most actions cost AP, but your right : Bite cost 2 AP, and since you automatically restore 2 AP per turn...

It's basically a free attack ! xD
I'll look into this and see how I can tweak some things for a futur update.

ROAAR!

I am a pokemon bug! It was fun.
The camera angle was a bit werid to me and my INFINITE POWER, because no action requires any points.
But the sound, music, game mechanics, and all the others was a great experience!

Good Job.

Check my game and Rate it if you have time.
Have FUN!

Thanks for your feedback !

I looked into the game, and yeah, there's a little oversight on the Bite perk, that cost 2 ap, but since you restore 2 at the end of your turn... it basically a free action !

I'll look into a way to adjust that on a future update! :)

Marp Classic 2: Growing monster

CaspiannDeveloper27 days ago

Ahah, thanks ! :D
It was mostly reusing the same parents class for the skills and very generic elements like animations and stats, but ngl, I'm pretty happy on how it turned out !

nice battle game, i would love to see some it with a different lighting or maybe lighter colored assets as the features are a bit hard distinguish but nice effects.

Macro Meso Sub Terra

CaspiannDeveloper27 days ago

Thanks for your feedback , I'm glad you liked the game!
Yeah, I see what you mean, the lighting should have deserved more time to refine, maybe the post-processing was too strong and "flatten" the screen a bit ? I'll take more attention to it on future projects. :)
