Oh wow this is great! Super unique theme that really matches the jam. And the visuals/music are also fantastic. I liked that their was unique ending screens for both dying and disobeying (I did both on purpose to see). I also defeated Boxer Bear! Solid gameplay as well, the fighting felt pretty juicy for what I thought initially was going to be super basic.

The entire thing was great, but I'd say my only complaint is it seemed that the trainer wasn't quite lenient enough, either with giving you enough time to do her request or with just what's going on in general. A lot of times you would be in combat and she may say to do something, but then you get hit (because you're fighting) and she instantly is unhappy. I suppose that's why the thinking logo is down below so when I saw that I usually ran away. But another one would be when she tells you to play dead or not move, and you don't but then the enemies slightly push you and then she is angry again. Just slightly annoying. But this complaint is extremely minor! Just an observation, the game itself for a jam game is still like a 96/100! Oh one super super minor thing is the very beginning it took me like 30 seconds to figure out I was supposed to go up straight through the bushes tree tops/ thought I would need to go right or left.

But yes overall this is exceptionally well done! Incredible it was all put together in 48 hours. Your team should all be super proud of the work you put into this!! Wouldn't be surprised if this makes it into the top 100. Fantastic work!!

This game is absurdly cute. The visuals and music are on point. But I think it's the little details that impressed me the most. I've seen a few teams put out some stuff that looks professionally done and/or is mechanically polished. But I was shocked when I realized this game had hit stops and the trainer reacting if you attack her. Those kinds of little details help make a game feel alive, but aren't prominent or easy to do under strict time constraints. So seeing stuff like that AND that the game is also polished makes this one of the most impressive jam entries I've had the pleasure of playing. I actually had a Pokemon-like myself, and this kind of inspires me to go back and do the things I couldn't see realized before the jam ends. Excellent job. 

I believe I've seen a few games similar to this in this Jam, but this game is charming, well-made, and actually interesting. Pretty art, soothing music, great concept! Bonus points for this being Pokémon but better!

Couple of complaints though: The collisions in the bushes, trees and sometimes on the ground itself are a bit off and you can get stuck easily. It also isn't obvious where to find the trainer when you have to go through bushes whereas you can't really pass through any other obstacles prior, so it should have been just an open road leading to the trainer. Also, the timing to execute the trainer's commands is a bit short and unforgiving, or maybe that's just me

Anyway, an impressive game. If you and/or your team would like to continue working on this game, any other gamejam, or even a separate full title, I'd be honoured to be able to join you! ^_^

Great concept, art and almost there with the execution. 

It would be helpful if there was a timer to let you know how long you've got to do an action before it's considered disobedience as it seems to vary, and it would be nice if getting knocked back by attacks didn't fail the "don't move" commands.

Great job, would love to see a polished version.

Liked the graphics and concept that your trainer might not be that smart in battle. Also liked the details when you attack your trainer.
