Enjoyed this one a lot. Really liked Aldious and Ellbi, and the end of the DSD part got me excited for a continuation that's never coming. Getting the choice of weapons related to some of the other characters was really cool, too.

These are some of my favorite characters of the game jam, especially Ellbie and Aldious.
P.s. This is the best title of the jam, hand down!

Steel Geareverything is gonna be okay forever!
i was really really impressed!
this was ur first game? it hit so many good spots and the message that revernge isnt the answer, which was reinforced by the secret boss fight was just...amazing! (i only did the secret boss fight after not killing the mayor. the smugness at not killing him that ripley had was just *chef's kiss*) i really hope ur game wins so it can continue the cannon, but even if it doesn't i really look forward to ur next game!!! oh and is it intended that i totally ship ripely with the doctor now? cause they are REALLY REALLY cute together <3 also what the deal with dragon syrup????? do i have to have read the book to get that refrence

Thank you so much, Drizzle! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I had fun putting it together (although most of the time I didn’t know what I was doing— especially when I forgot to label some variables in the engine and broke my class selections) and I’m so happy to hear you had fun playing it.
Haha, Dragon Syrup is an obscure bit of Dark Schippie Dues lore that I don’t think many people remember, so you’re not missing much :P
I definitely leaned into some of the romance tropes — from title screens to sub-plots between characters, but had to cut a bit because of time.
I’m looking forward to the next game jam, so hopefully my next try will be even better!
Never trust the Mayor. This is a quality RPG. I can see myself grinding in this world.

Petala Circa RosasIt's hard to make a RPG with such a short runtime, but you did a great job!
