Finished playing your project. I really liked the artwork and sprites, they’re simple and work very well. Though towns seem a bit barren, there’s a lot to explore, so I can see where the work went, and that’s OK by me. The army system was interesting, it made searching for the soldiers a nice side-task, and I also liked the clear difference on what each party member brings. I wasn’t following the story very well, though, it felt like I was missing a lot of info to get what’s going on. You could use some exposition here and there! The equipment system was also a bit strange. Everything was so expensive, so I figured it was meant for later. I got bodied hard by the merman though, so I couldn’t progress further!
As a side note: After the emu fight in the cave, collision wasn’t restored on the player! You should check that, though walking over the ocean was funny.
Overall, it seems there’s a lot of content in this game, but it’s being hurt by the uneven balancing! I’d love to come back if you’ve got some pointers on how to get past that damned fish, haha!
Good job, and thanks for sharing this!
