I have "finished the main questline of this game", in one evening as after I started I couldn't stop playing. The game is fun, the presentation is great (both the visuals and music), I really like that you went with named items (no template). The rise in power is satisfying, the overall adventure part is cool and I really liked the ending, I enjoyed just putting back the sword and chatting with the spirits, the dragon looks specially nice by the way.

I started with an old version and switching to the new version in the middle of the playthrough worked perfectly, that was super cool too.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing the game.

"That sounds neat"

The game was pretty cool!

Oh yes that was exactly that, thanks.

Sorry, I meant the item card which gives 2 scraps, I never managed to get 2 scraps from the card.

This was fun ! I barely won, got rank C with only 3 characters still alive.

How does the item you can buy to get 2 Scraps work? I dragged it onto the battlefield during each match but nothing ever happened ;) 

Keep up the good work!

I'll post here as you deactivated the comments in the project page ;) 

I'm not certain we ruled everything as intended (we replaced the stuff card at the end of the turn it was gained, also the stuff cards which say not to add a stuff or to add more stuffs we played that you definitely play with one extra or one less card from when it was gained).

I translated the game and did some minimalistic colouring to easily sort the cat cards, here is how it looked on the table in case you're curious :

"GAME OVER" The game was cool and took me a few tries, thanks for sharing.

I completed the game, couldn't open the door at the end, had found 3 frogs and now wonder if I needed more of it's simply the single ending, it's fine either way. Given the context I expected the game to be shorter and was pleasantly surprised.

The controls don't always feel perfect, like there can be weird behaviours where walking on a plateform above a ladder, a few times I wondered if I went out of the bonds of the game, don't get me wrong they're fine and the game is quite stable.

The game is very cool. It's absolutely gorgeous and the animation of anything's animated is great. It's quite atmospheric with appropriate, cryptic music, I enjoyed when the joyful music started near the end, and the last ladder sequence was a satisfying conclusion. There are quite some cool sequences especially during the late parts, the checkpoints are rightly placed and if the game isn't hard it's still easy enough to die that it's quite fun to play.

Thanks for sharing the game.

I had played your other game and recognized your style, your games are cool.

Thanks!

Not sure about the 2 years late reply but Alt+Enter work ;). 

I 3-stars-ed all the levels, which took me a couple of days. My total score is 71089.

I had a lot of fun playing the game, with diverse levels and especially the exact difficulty I was looking for at the moment.

It was fine, I think a lot of levels I instantly or almost instantly beat (and in the end I liked that, it enhances the pacing of the game, long and easy could be a problem but here easy means you spend 10 seconds on the level) while maybe 1/3, I'm not sure, took me several tries to figure out. It's only my opinion but in my opinion it's not stupidly easy as it seems to be what you're wondering.

Some I definitely beat by chance while I don't really know if some, if any, level I bruteforced by going fast while there's a more conventional intended path, if it's sometimes possible do that then it's a cool thing either way.

The sound effects are punchy, I like those.

I made it! I beat the game!

I didn't expect so many levels, the game was fun.

I finished the game in 761 seconds. The game was fun with great presentation as well.

The music is so good in this!

This is great!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

I definitely need to start implementing volume sliders in my games. 

There's not that much difference between hard and easy modes in the end, easy is not easy while hard is not especially hard either but anyway ;).

Thanks!

I'm happy because I just finally managed to clear World 2 for the first time while as the time passed I was starting to think I would not manage to before the end of the jam.

Now completing the game will require at least a couple of extra sessions. ;)

Oh, it's fine then ;) .

I think the game would benefit from an objective either in the form of a score of finite lives but it's fun to play as it's punchy with perfect controls, the appropriate speed of bullets and engaging sound effects.

Somehow with so many things happening on the screen without anything blinking sometimes it almost feels too sharp, too smooth, too fast for a NES game ;).

We played some 3 player games, all had fun.

The watermelon won only once and only because the spectator kept mixing left and right, I definitely think it's unbalanced in favour of the human to the point the watermelon can't win.

I did, the last fight was very cool because I could flawlessly beat the two first monsters of the boss fight using Chloro Drain but the last one had me change some of the other monsters in my party and all 4 barely managed (3 were dead at the end) to beat it on my, I think, 3rd try.

"Your final time is 11 : 37."

I had a lot of fun playing the game.

Switching to full screen should definitely keep the original ratio as currently you can't really use it and need to zoom in your browser instead. Despite the jump feeling very weird even if couldn't give the exact reason the game is still pretty fun because the level design is very good with the multiple paths through levels, enemies which are fun to deal and the occasional power-ups and the proposed difficulty is right on point.

Thanks a lot, I'm happy you got to see the crab then as I think it's easy to miss.

"And so with the evil shadow" ...

I think equipping an item consistently makes the game crash, no big deal once you're aware of it.

The game is very fun. Every single monster looks super cool and given the context I think they're very elaborate which is quite a feat as they're also plenty of them. The soundtrack is great too. I like that with the right element a monster basically dies in one hit, I had plenty of fun making full use of the right elements, competely switching to a different full team of the same good element for each dungeon.

My only caveat that I'm mentioning only because the game is overall great would be that the trees, rocks, etc.. feel like they're  built 16x16 and then resized to 32x32 which feels both a bit too big at all compared to the most traditional NES games so in the end the game doesn't completely look like those and also inconsistent with the characters on the map. No biggie, especially as once again the monsters during fights look amazing.

Well ...

I had a lot of fun playing, the levels are diverse while all being real levels with some challenge, challenge which is perfectly balanced for the context, and once again this is served with perfect NES presentation.

Thanks a lot, congratulations for doing everything and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

There's actually nothing with the statue ;) .

Yes, thanks! 

Let's see how far I manage to go.

I tried again and the enemies indeed won't have the time to appear from a point. 

For example right now the next % upgrade costs 51 and each wave goes 0-37-74-111%, it will never last longer.

What I assume happens is that the period never goes down below the number of % upgrades.

I like the music and the character walking and smashing animations. This short range attack sure is a typical NES one.

The 7th wave is the last one right? I always die there but I think sometimes quite some time after I reached it. Defeating all the aliens is super hard, I don't know if it's technically doable or not. I don't know how much getting hit on purpose is intended or not either, I think it's fine either way anyway.

This game is very fun, the half of an enemy blinking when you're hitting it feels so much NES, that was really a super good idea. The game sounds good, I like the design of the aliens and it mostly plays like a NES game with the appropriate speeds of everything and the right amount of things happening on the screen.

A 2 player mode is a very nice touch, I've not tried past launching a game so I don't how I feel about each ship being stuck on its side instead of simply crossing each other, it seemed unusual but it might be perfectly fine in practice.

Ahah, the game itself is nothing special but getting there sure is super cool.

The game looks and sounds fine, the gameplay loop is fun enough and I can imagine playing this game on NES.

However I think I wish that losing energy for spinning was faster so that you get to take more risk if you want to get further in combination with some sort of objective either in the form of a score system or of a single level you need to reach the end of instead of an endless mode (ignore this part if the game is in fact not endless and I'm just too bad to get to the end ;) ).

Overall the art is nice even if the style doesn't completely feel consistent, the music is nice too. I like the different weapons and I like that the speeds and weapons were really adapted to an NES feel.

I wish each enemy would propose its own threat and I wonder if the game could not be dynamic by taking place on a much smaller battlefield especially as the speeds of the hero and monsters are, rightfully, slow.

I've got a question : How do the intersections work?

I absolutely can't figure it out nor couldn't I even bruteforce as sometimes the trains do what I want but then I change the track further and then they don't anymore ;) .

As everybody said the NES feel is as high as it can get with this one.

I scored 1539 points.

The game would benefit from visual and audio feedback on collisions and I'm sure you were aware of that but the look of the cars approaching is perfect. I think some parts are impossible but in the same time I like that the game gets harder fast enough so I can't complain much.

The music got nice as I realised I needed to restart after I died and I like the different animations of the character and the enemies when they walk or hit/are hitten with the stick, this stick attack is definitely an NES attack.

This was fun. The story and characters are cool and weird, the environment looks nice, the music is catchy and I enjoyed the different minigames.

You played it safe with the difficulty of the minigames, I feel like they could be at least slighty harder.
