Cool game! liked the glitch twist and the boss fights were really fun aswell

The second part of the game was really nice, the text glitching and the enemies being not real added a lot to the dreamless vibe, and also props for doing all of the assets yourself

As for feedback, the fights were realllly long, I think the enemy should have less health because the actions you do are just repeating

Also when I talked with the NPC on the second phase the game crashed, just letting you know

Anyways, fun game, cool concept, well executed!

Developer

Haven't had the game crash for anyone else yet.

Which NPC did you talk to that made it crash? Curious.

Submitted

I talked with the crocodile, I have no idea why it crashed though, it seems like maybe I was pressing continue too quickly or something

The artwork is good and the music is relaxing. But maybe is like any other turn-based game, it's kinda repetitive. Just repeatedly spamming heal and hit. The key mapping is also kinda weird. Anyway, that's a good try.

I really liked the concept and the art. However, the fighting felt a bit repetitive and i would have liked to know how much health the enemy had.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback

Really cool art! It feels incredibly polished considering the time frame and the scope of making an RPG from scratch. Hope you keep working on this!

Developer

Thanks so much

I had a lot of fun, the art is great. The fighting mechanic was not very interesting, but I had a good time!

Developer

An amazing RPG, its crazy you made all these assets yourself :0 The fighting is abit dull and repetitive even for a RPG

Developer

Thanks for the feedback

Very nice to see an RPG here, cool concept and story.

Though you can just spam CTRL in combat to skip the enemy attacks which is kinda funny.

Had fun!

Yea caught that bug at the last minute, didn't have time to fix.

So here we have a giant enemy crab...

I'm glad to see someone taking a crack at an RPG, and I like all the render errors in the second half, especially the crocodile model cut in half. But I do think there are implementation problems that were an issue for me, especially the combat.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback

That was pretty awesome. Loved the art, music, and narrative.

Developer

Thanks a lot

The art is really nice, the narrative and gameplay are also really interesting and fun.

If I had a downside is that in the turn-based combat I couldn't see the monsters health, which I think is something the player should know😂

A more fleshed-out story, more monsters, more on the combat, and this would make for a really interesting full game.

Good work!

Developer

Thanks so much

This is so cool. Loved those transitions!

Developer

Thanks

I could honestly see this being a full game if it had more content and got expanded upon a bit. Would be nice to see enemy health at least though. Overall though, I love the aesthetic and it's a nice interpretation of the theme. Good job!

Developer

Thanks so much

Th e theme was interesting but the combat mechanic was boring and I never knew when it would finish because there was no healt bar for the monster

Developer

Thanks for the feedback

Had a lot of fun playing, and would love to see this more fleshed out and polished some more. Cool Croc is too cool.

Developer

Thanks a lot

Nice RPG :) I be able to wake up! maybe it miss some more complex combo in the available actions to make a lot of damage!

Developer

Cool game! Interesting controls, but very well made and engaging. Good job!

Developer

Neat short story, and I really liked the artwork. My only issues were having Ctrl as the action button, my pinky got really tired. And the battles went on for too long considering you can't lose them. You can just outheal any damage, so it's just spamming dream and psychosis for a while. Good work overall!

Developer

Sorry for the controls, thanks for the feedback.
