Hi!

This was an interesting play. 

From what was available I liked it! The pixel art was nice (I enjoy seeing different pixel art styles a lot, so bonus points for pure pixel art). The story seems to have an interesting hook, with grandma and the crystals, I hope you can expand upon this more in the future as I'd like to see ultimately where you go with it. I liked the nice scrolling opening, really set the tone well.

I was heartbroken that the battles weren't your art </3 :'( but I can understand due to the limitations of the deadline).

As a proof of art/writing I think it does well, but there isn't really anything to do :3 so I can't really rate it as a game, all I can say is it looks to have potential! :D which is really the point of the competition so :D

As for improvements, you defo need a pixel font and pixel icons too to make the whole thing cohesive! I am curious what the gameplay will be like, obviously there will be fighting based on this intro but I'm interested in the 'shop' that was mentioned in the intro. Would cool to have some Sim like elements in this, could work well with the theme.

Anyway, good job, got potential but not enough there for me to rate yet! Sorry :'(

I love the art in this! The attention to detail is real neat.

The game -- that is, the first few minutes of that game's intro -- casts a solid hook. 
I think it's fair to say this is a screenshot of a good game.
It looks pretty, there's ultimately not much that can be done with it,
but boy howdy do I wish the full experience were something I could play right now.

For the brief time we spent together, the characters had decent characterization.
Any of their arcs could go anywhere, but the base is there for strong writing.

This is a good jumping-off point!

TOTAL PLAYTIME: 10 MINUTES

FINAL VERDICT: I chuckled how the IGMC logo was implemented.

I like the art, because I love custom art in RPG maker games. It was very short though? Which I can understand because of the time limit and everything. I am interested to see what else you can come up with because it is interesting :)

While the graphics and music are both quite nice, there wasn't really enough of the game to get a feel of what it would be like, play-wise. The characterisation is decent enough, and what was there seemed competently made, but it also seemed very standard RPG Maker fare, which, while not a bad thing isn't exactly very interesting. There seemed to be some promising systems that the menu hinted at but unfortunately there's not really much there to show as a prototype of the kind of game it might eventually become.

Definitely too short, I was starting to get intrigued and then it ended. I wanna know what Grandma is up to!!
I like the art style, and agree with HilmB that the door confirmations aren't necessary, it just slows things down. Other than that, I'd like to see where this goes, so good luck with it, I hope you find the free time to expand on it. Cause seriously, what's the deal with Grandma and her crystals... She's up to something ಠ_ಠ

I really love the style, the characters are surprisingly nice, the dialogues are good as well. I don't think the confimation to enter a door is really necessary, and the footsteps are a bit.. loud.

(And the game is a bit very much short :( )

It's nice though, are you going to keep working at it solo?
