This was a real fun 1-2 hour experience. There were only a few battles, but crucially, they were all challenging, yet fair, fights to get through. It has a small microcosm of a story that I quite enjoyed as well, I thought it made good use of the short runtime.

I really enjoyed this. Combat was well-balanced and friendly without being dull. The story was nicely done and it has me hankering for more mini-RPGs in this vein.

The item that is supposed to prevent charm/confusion doesn't.

Some odd spelling. Not sure if obelisk is intentionally misspelled or not.

I eventually settled into a very standard pattern of buff cycles and then attacking. Nice that the double attack power thing actually had a use. Too many games make it useless.

Final boss spammed charge for several turns. Not sure if intended.

Maps were a bit big, so there is little chance that the game can be beaten in 1 hour. I spent closer to 2 hours.

Final boss was a bit annoying to fight. He managed to one shot my healer even with buffs and then targeted her again after I revived her, so I had to revive her again.

Funny thing about reflect is it activates on any magic attack that hits the character, not just ones that target that character specifically, so you can see the animation again at an odd timing.

A lot of single hit animations are just kind of off and make it hard to see what character it is targetting.

Not sure if you needed such a fancy animation for wait and see.

Haaaaaa I'll double check a couple of the spellings. A few friends pointed it out afterwards I just missed 'em so I'll update after the Jam period is over. Thanks for playing!

Awesome story my bro, maps were pretty big but the story helped it big time. It took me much longer than an hour to get to the climax which means the judges of this game will most likely not have reached the climax in order for this game to win the prize. It is unfortunate because this game was pretty good.

Hi there! Here's a video of me playing through this entry, and I'm going to release my full opinions of each after the results for the first round have been published. Until then I won't let on my judging score or overall review, but you can still watch my playthrough if you'd like! Cheers. :)

Well balanced gentle combat, awesome maps, a cute good story; I liked this a whole lot. I love experiencing Big JRPG Feelings in the context of a smaller work. I want to play more games like this.
