How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
Themes of luck run throughout the game - from the plot point of a broken mirror, the main character of the black cat, and the townspeople experiencing all manner of misfortune. The antagonist also influences gameplay with his set of magic dice - lower rolls negatively impact the player, but lucky clovers increase the chance of higher rolls with positive outcomes!
thanks so much for playing and the critiques!
The current number of shards can be viewed in the pause menu. Wanted a map but ran out of time :( bombs are an enemy drop - wanted to make townspeople give items out as gifts after you help them but ran out of time :(
Exceptionally charming! The mechanics are fun, the character designs are cute, and the soundtrack is quite adventurous! The scope of the game is impressive, and the story is heartwarming. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Fortuna's parents are simply much larger than everyone else!
The audio seems to be mixed quite loud. Most combinations of music and sound effects peak the audio above 0 dB.
Fantastic! Great work!
Thank you so much! Haha, fortuna's parents are one of the few sprites that I had to throw together myself, so the scale with all the beautiful artwork my brother made was just a bit off.
I'm so glad we were able to finish it, even though that meant things like the dungeon being excessively simple, and many of the other tools and enemy types we wanted to include were omitted.
The audio is WAY too loud, I'm used to producing standalone music, not game music, and I need to get that figured out. Thank you for playing and for the comment!
I’m so sorry your run was disrupted! I need to figure out how to resolve instance of actors getting stuck within collisions - if you save and quit and reload your save that should at least let you continue!
My brother is due all the praise for the palette and the art and I agree they look great!
I so appreciate the kind words, you’re awesome for taking the time to be so kind!
You’re absolutely right - some of the content gets a little samey, and I really wanted to make it so that knockback wouldn’t push you to a new screen but didn’t get around to it.
Thank you so much for the kind words and critiques! The blocks in the final dungeon are actually pushable, you just have to press on them for about one full second :)
Thank you so much! I agree with are your critiques, the game really has no system for dealing with the character getting caught inside a collision, and adding a respawn timer was on my to-do list if we had had time. I am so grateful that you played it all the way through and that all the Zelda nods stood out to you!
Thank you so much! The vast majority of the time (for me) was spent just writing the systems to allow for all the interactions I wanted, then actually filling out the map with enemies and obstacles didn’t take nearly as long!
Thanks SO MUCH for the kind words.
I’m impressed you made it to the hookshot - oops, I mean yarn ball! The bummer is the final boss is the part I’m most proud of and I bet no one will make it there, the game is too long!
