As always your entries have amazing bust art! I really loved them in combination with the tall sprites and the Lowe battlers. (On that subject I think you forgot to credit Aekashics for the slime king battler?) Your mapping has improved a lot, but it does peg the graphics down from 4 stars to 3 for me.

I didn't see too many issues although Therese's name was spelled as Threse and the credits went by too slow even while holding down to speed it up.

Another short-and-sweet entry. Would have liked it better if there was more depth to the overall experience. Pretty good custom busts. I especially liked Harold's bust.

Glad you got to use the Pinero battlers! They looked pretty nice with the attacks included. Game was super short and simple, but I enjoyed it. Loved seeing the unique portraits. I'd say that was a highlight for me. Nothing else stood out much as particularly remarkable.

Overall: Cute little quickie from start to finish. Could use some tightening in story, dialogue, and battle, but for a for-fun entry it does its job alright.

Gamplay: Straightforward enough, basic overworld navigation and battling. Quite a bit of skills off the bat, and I couldn't exactly tell which elements worked against which enemies. Nothing that actively hampered the experience though IMO.

Music: Can't go wrong with the RM2003 remixes.

Comedy: Not a gut-buster but didn't have me chucking tomatoes at my screen either.

Graphics: Very nice elevated RTP style. Love the portraits as well.

Story: Simple enough; go after the slime king. Dialogue could've been tighter in areas but otherwise wasn't bad.

I quite liked the portrait sprites! The rest was a little underwhelming though. The jokes didn't quite land, and there were so few encounters that I was very surprised when the credits started rolling.
