Thanks. There's a bug with the game. One of the sound file is missing so you might end up with an error near the end.  Spoiler -> "The idea is for you to become the girlfriend of the hero and then attack the hero as the girl. In the fight, if you win the hero, you will turn into the hero and take over the world as the hero. "

ola, como abro a ultima transformação de monstro ?

Right from the start, this game had me laughing -- it was not at all what I expected!

I love the battle UI -- reminded me of Fire Emblem and other similar titles -- and the Almanac is a great touch. You did a good job giving the player guidance at the beginning without overwhelming them, too. 

Great work -- thanks for sharing your game with us! :D

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

I really enjoyed this game! :D It's funny and the progression system is captivating (the almanac is a great idea, you can easily understand the power level of creatures). I also like the mapping and the UI, you did an amazing job! :)

Developer

Thanks!

I had a lot of fun playing the game. I loved all the little details, the presentation of the combat system, the setup of the music and the graphic effects... I've definitely learned a few things here as well for my own game. I wouldn't have a problem, to grind more monsters for level and stuff. I never found an accessory, but I had no problem using any skills or magic with Cynane, so to me the game didn't crash, but on the other hand I didn't hear any sounds from her either, so no idea if this was intended or not.

On the negative side, if this can be called so. The game was so cool, that I wished to learn more about the characters, but there weren't any more details or info to find. Some more characters in the city would have been cool. Teleport circles where you land with your character when using the teleport item.

I understand this game has been made in a short time and it's amazing... hope you will pick it up after the contest and maybe add a bit here and there, probably a perpetual system for grinding up the level if the player wants and a tower with even stronger monsters... and maybe a way to get the original form of the demon king back ;-)

Cheers!


P.S.: Funny thing, I noticed that this game would have a lot of voice-sounds, which I don't have at all. So it didn't crash, but I only had the combat sounds...

Developer

Hi felsenstern. Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I do plan to extend this game to a full game in the future... just not sure how soon. 😅 Luv all the suggestions u gave. Might end up adding all of them. Ha ha. 

As for sound, I only added battle sound. Perhaps the battle sound option was off in Options hence no battle sound. But due to my mistake, switching off battle sound might be better when reaching Cynane's level.

Rebirth: From Chicken to Hero

by Lamonade

Hey there Lamonade, thanks for submitting a project to the 2022 IGMC. I'm Drifty and I was asked to judge your game in round one of the IGMC 2022 game jam. Here's some feedback about your project.

The opening to this game is really funny.

I love the mechanics of body jumping to get more powerful. 

Good use of lighting on the maps, I enjoy the wide screen mapping and tileset used.

The overlay is nice and it doesn't take up too much real estate.

It's hard to tell the order that you're supposed to progress from weakest to strongest. I went from spider to man-eating plant, but I think that wasn't intended. I exploited web-attack-web-attack-web etc. To win the fight. If I were to attack spiders and bats at this point it would be a downgrade is power right? 

All of the animated battlers look absolutely amazing!

I appreciate all the skills and customization you made to each of the creatures.

The weapons and armors kind of mess up the balance of the game. I feel like adding them was a mistake. If you remembered to go and buy the best armor (for 0 cost) and equip your characters then the game is very easy. If you didn't well, then it'll be very hard. It might of been a better idea to not even include them. It would have certainly made it easy to balance.

If you use any of the skills with Cynane (right at the end of the game) it will try to load 0-Princess_Yell.ogg, but that resource doesn't exist.

So it will crash the game. 

You're able to beat him with basic attacks, in fact he's very very weak. But the bad thing here is that 0-Princess_Yell.ogg tries to load right when you are trying to possess the Hero... Which mean the game cannot be beaten, unless I modify it by adding a file. 

However for this contest, I'm not allowed to do that. Even if I could, the game is encrypted so it wouldn't be an easy process. 

It too bad that I'm unable to see the ending because of this game breaking bug, but I will say that your game is really really cool and I very much enjoyed it.

I hope that for your own sanity you playtest your next project to the very end. 

Keep making games, I think you've got a knack for it and I look forward to see the next project that you work on. 

Thanks for submitting a project to the IGMC 2022, catch you next time!

Thanks Drifty. Valuable feedback. And Thanks for the encouragement. Lots of ideas for me to extend this into a fuller game after the contest. As for bug, strange enough I playtested the final copy till the end but the sound bug didn't appeared.  Perhaps I should have tested it a few more times. Hmm... just realised the importance of beta testers. 😁

Another common issue I see is that games will work fine when you click the playtest button in-engine, but then encounter resource errors once it gets deployed. The best solution to this is to always playtest the deployed version before uploading it.

Cute game, nice usage of the assets here.

I loved the concept. This game put a smile here with the intro. Nice idea!

Developer

Thanks! Wanted to make the incarnation  as a low level monster like a slime but it sounded like a famous anime.  😅

Nice gameplay loops it's good. the UI's also slick. Love it.

Thanks! The rebirth idea is not new but it did take me a while to figure out how to do the mechanics in RPG Maker. 😅
