Really like the story! The game is perfectly balanced, not too long, not too short. The only real negative thing I could say is that it took 2 reloads to get it running on the website. But it's minor enough thing to not influence the game overall. Great job!

How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
It's spooky, you're a monk fighting cultists

Awesome game! I love the details you put into each location. Getting into the basement to see the summoning area is where it landed for me with the spooky theme. Good job.
It's a really nice game, like the story and the gameplay. I think the random encounters happened to often though.
The monster designs and also the art in general is just beutifull. :D

It was a little too much storytelling for me but the game itself was great! I would love to see the combat more... I was hoping to have a great bossfight but it ended in one hit. But this is the only negative I have! The rest (graphics,sound,story) mesh beautifully together! I would love to see an expansion on this. Great job!
I definitely overscoped the game and ended up having to add so much text just to convey the story. I agree that I probably should have added less text or turned it into a visual novel.
The combat system should have definitely been expanded on and it was also supposed to have a mechanic where reading lore was gonna give you extra stats but did not have time to add that.
Thank you so much for playing my game!
Very very good. I didn't get to play much, unlock the door go to the basement, but then wandering aimlessly. :-D But I did enjoy the graphics (zelda influences am I right, I had some too :-D) and music. I would prefer instead zx keys to the keypad for d-pad left and buttons right setup for the GB soul, but ok, it's just personal preference just for this jam. Excellent work.
You really need to follow the dialogue to know what you have to do next. After going down in the basement you need to pick up the note near the dead cultist body. It will tell you where to go next.
The game has controller support so you can use a game controller to play the game for a more nostalgic feel. I also used the most common set up for gameboy emulators.
The art and music in this one are lovingly hand-crafted. Unfortunately I got stuck early – I don't know how to progress the story past the church pastor. I'd love a tip so I can keep trying!
