How does your game fit the theme?
You play as Ironmouse to find her friend, Corpse. But, I've blended Ironmouse's theme with my other lore games (The Absorber universe).

Did your team create the vast majority of the art since the jam started?
I'm a solo developer, and yes, all the assets in the game were created by me. However, I've reused some assets from my other games.

Did your team create the vast majority of the music since the jam started?
All of them were made by me. But as I mentioned, I've reused some assets from my other games.

It's already something :D And you did the music too *_* Really a nice work :D

QwQ thank you for the kind words! I was conscious of the music  bc it's sth out of my expertise!

Oh man I'm BLOWN AWAY, this just absolutely oozes style!! I'm speedrunning every entry so I can rate them all, but I'm definitely finishing this in my off time, freaking fantastic work!!

Very engaging game! This is a wonderful framework for a fully fleshed-out game in my opinion. UI and combat are fluid as hell, and never feel like you’re stuck in a slow turn sequence, which can be an issue with me on some turn-based games. Really great job here and I hope she ends up streaming it!

It took me a while to complete the game, but I'm glad I did. Really engaing RPG that just oozes style, and the music just rocks, I think you did an amazing job.

The game does feel a bit intimidating at first, and I recommend newcomers to utilize items and magic more, they both can help you steamroll through the undead soldiers. I genuinely like how the game forces you to use every mechanic it presents to you (reminds me of how SMT Nocturne forces you to learn to buff & debuff in order to progress), but I get that it can be challenging to players that aren't into JRPGs. And yeah, I know everybody already mentioned LISA, but that battle UI looks like it was lifted staight from the game)

The only downside that comes to mind is that the entry doesn't feel very... Ironmouse-y? Like the theming had been tacked on to the game. Still I enjoyed your original story a lot, and hey, if there's an Ironmouse in every universe, who says it can't be a part of another game series' lore, right?

Great job and well done!

Oh! This is very detailed feedback, and I truly appreciate it :D Initially, I was attempting to create a game that was 100% in line with Ironmouse's style, but it didn't quite match my... well, let's say, my "personal style", I suppose. After watching Ironmouse and Nyanners play Elden Ring with the invader Watcher, my inspiration soared. I thought, why not blend Ironmouse's theme with the lore of my other games? And thus, Corpse the Necromancer was born :3

Reminds me of LISA, such great art and cool concept!

Oh! Thanks for your feedback. Lisa is one of those games that inspired me :D

I initially came to check the game because I was curious about the character being Corpse, then found out a cool game with a very pleasing art style that reminds me about Undertale. Good job!

Oh! Thanks for your feedback :D

I came back here again just to say, once again, I really love that style. (Maybe becuase I love monochrome style stuff like Undertale XD)

Developer

Hahaha! Thanks again for your feedback :D To be honest, Toby Fox is one of those devs who inspired me :3

Thats like a good proper RPG with Earthboundish humour and similar battle style.  And no, thank YOU for making this game, not me for downloading it *wink wink*. ( ಠ‿<)

I feel like there's a lot of missed opportunities for cameos from Mouse's other friends, but the game itself is great. Would've liked to see Bubi as a character also since he wouldn't let Mouse fight alone based on the lore.

Developer

Oh! Thanks for your feedback :D
