I just want to say that I don’t play Pokemon style games personally, but I found this to be a very nice game. While the overland graphics were simple, for the most part, they do a wonderful job creating the cozy environment we’re exploring! The Mon graphics are are also very nice and fit the esthetic of the game wonderfully.
There are two things that stuck out to me, though…
First, it’s not very clear… or it wasn’t to me… that using the benches healed my Mon. The benches actually didn’t even occur to me as being interactable.
Second, the only item I can use during battles is Nets and I have no idea what they’re supposed to do. Every time I attempted to use them, they failed. Given the other items are unimplemented (an issues I’m totally familiar with in game jams :) ) there was never any incentive for me to ever use them, let alone spend any coin on them.
Again, I think this is a wonderfully done game, regardless of the small issues I mentioned. From what I do know of Pokemon style game, this game fits wonderfully within that genre!
