The slightly isometric view and the battle screen make the presentation really striking! The stealth gameplay felt somewhat unpredictable, but also acted as a nice alternative to conventional battling. Using the throw mechanic also created some nice instances of puzzle solving!

Unfortunately, the game's short length does make it difficult to comment on much else beyond those elements. The plot setup does seem interesting and the intro sequence was effectively stylish, though I think it could benefit from greater elaboration early on. It does work to effectively bring the player quickly into the gameplay though, so that exposition can understandably come later in the plot if a more substantial build is produced.

This is a great framework to build on!

Thanks for submitting your game. We were really impressed by the custom art, battle system, and overall presentation; it truly went beyond expectations in those areas! We unfortunately have to disqualify it due to the game's very short length. The experience was just too brief for us to fairly evaluate it within the judging criteria.

That said, the project is incredibly promising, and we’d love to see you keep developing it. You've clearly built a strong foundation with a lot of care and talent, and we hope to see more of it in the future!

Short but sweet. I'd love to play a full version of this when it comes out. It's such a cool concept with cool character and enemy designs. I loved all the custom pixel art, this game looks amazing. Don't even know how you managed to do most of the things shown in this demo. There's so much passion and work put into the design, I just wish it was longer. Which I see is a common complaint here. But don't get discouraged. People like what you have and surely they'll like what you put out. Good luck in your future endeavors. I look forward to seeing the development of this. 

Love the custom art and unique perspective. The throwing bottle to distract enemy is also a good stealth mechanic. Too bad the game ends too early, it has solid foundation. 

Oh, man, I was enjoying this. Just a tutorial and one fight. :(
