High level: hitting the retro game tune and style, nicely done!

Rather buggy, not sure how I entered a battle and then found myself at half health, it started asking me to attack? But I couldn’t press anything. I came across the settings screen to change music/sfx audio levels - I highly appreciate that menu existing! Good accessibility. Might recommend showing up front or at least tipping off there’s a menu via some icon, as I only found it after wiping my hand across the keyboard to see if I could make anything happen during the battle :D

Classic RPG vibes in the best way possible. Would love to see a more complete version of this, but had a great time with what you submitted still. Good job.

Wow, you made an RPG - that's no small task and it has an overworld and everything, congrats. Nice intro, really like the retro music and it matches with the brilliant pixel art perfectly. Like others have mentioned, there were some bugs. I myself couldn't talk to the villagers and it was like my mouse was not able to click on the attack button or even slide the music and sound levels when paused. I also noticed that I could get stuck in place if walking too much into the people and luckily found that pressing space allowed me to move again. I have seen your youtube video and it looks really cool, love the different ways the attacks can be done. Since this round is about story telling and audio, I think you'll do well, top marks from me anyhow, love what you've created so far

Seems I ran into the same issues as others here - but everything I saw I liked! The music is especially nice, as well as the different footstep sounds for each floor type! I can never get enough of that. <3 All the best for this round!

Really liked the music and thought the art style was unique! Ran into some problems with gameplay though, namely controls; I couldn't figure out how to attack once I got to combat. Not sure if my game bugged maybe? From the beginning parts that I saw though, I liked the direction it was going!
