Nice effects but yeah I was pretty confused about the controls and objective. It said to heal the enemies but I wasn't able to target them?

Yeah it def needs a tutorial and the "extra" abilities removing - for the first crab you can use magic > Healga or items > enemy potion, the others are mostly just narrative and implied; will hopefully have a fully working system in the post jam release. Thanks for playing :)

Haha, tenuously! The core idea I guess is "In RPGs you always hurt/kill the monster... what if you were supposed to heal them instead, after a "hero" has already come through and "defeated" them" - it didn't quite get to shine in the demo, will hopefully be more clear in the post-release version. Thank you for playing! ^_^

Thank you for your comments and suggestions, I'm glad you liked the concept ^_^. A lot of the stuff is default RPGMaker, the actual non-planning part of the project happened in ~3 hours so a lot of the ancilliary stuff from the engine ended up making it in, hoping to polish this up and release it for the post-jam-jam :). Thanks again, good luck with your game too, it's great!

Thanks! I do like to go the narrative route when I can :) plus a case of matching skills to the jam hah, this one ended up being a bit of a rush so I'm happy with how it came out so far, hopefully will flesh out the story a bit more now that the jam rush is over and the recontextualising will make a bit more sense xD

Hah thanks, it's a "feature" of slapping it together in the last 3 hours after a panic ^^;;; but you're right I like the way it adds to the atmosphere of "things are slightly off". Or maybe a really downbeat / stripped back version of a regular rpg-esque theme. Thank you for the thought food!
