What a WILD game! The story is so intriguing, I just had to know what happened next! What happened in the Battle of Hastings? How did Lennen end up that way? Who was Primeval Mask before he was J Dog? The writing and humour is great, and it's really fun having a jump button in this game. Absolute joy to play.

Love the sense of irreverent sense of humour. Who doesn't want to be part of a dog-alien-boat squad? We were taking notes about all the cool things you did with RPG Maker too, gna steal some of those for the next jam!!
Love the weirdo party members, especially the boat. I enjoyed hunting for all the secrets and sidequests in each of the maps!
Really interesting core twist on the stated rules that allow you to do a lot more with the plot concept than expected. And this is maybe a minor thing to point out, but ive played a lot of rpgmaker games and i think this is the first time ive seen one where you can jump
Such a unique game, I enjoyed the humor and artstyle a lot, reminded me a little of Cruelty Squad and other games going for that abandonware, intentionally janky art.
