How did you choose to implement the Theme: Theatre of the Grotesque?
You play as a very theatrical character, and at the end you get assigned a task to do in a theatre.
Did you implement any of the optional Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
There is a deer skull that looks like a mask :) and body horror
Did you create your game in RPG Maker?
Yes

I am not sure if there is an ending or if you are just supposed to mess around infinitely in the end, but from what I saw I though it was pretty good! The weakness mechanic could use some visual indicator to when you find an enemy weakness, but the combat itself was cool, I liked the idea of the riffs to use the tp.
I absolutely adored the visual style you guys came up with, it's very weird and unique, it made the whole game feel fever dreamish, which I think was what you guys were going for. The music tracks were also very nice, I especially liked the ones with vocals(is there somewhere I can check out the ost?).
Overall, I really enjoyed what you guys made here, my only complaint is really the whole walking around in a big looping map bit at the end, I insisted for a while but ended up getting bored and quitting(tho this might be a me thing, yume nikki did it and people loved it and I kinda didn't). This made me a bit sad cuz I kinda wanted to see the ending to this story, which did grasp my interest to see it through.
(ALSO, loved the main characters designs, they have such a goofy goobers vibe to them).
I want to start saying that the music is really good and different, fits the ambiance perfect. Also I think what you have going on with the visuals and aesthetic is super creative and unique, plus it has lots of personality.
I sadly couldn't get very far, I think the battling needs a lot of balancing, the enemies attacks are too strong and 1 hit you most of the time, and normal attacks barely do anything to them, while special attacks consume mp fast. I also got stuck more than once with Steve fainting and having no way to revive because the ability wouldn't work while dead, and I couldn't find a way of reviving that wasn't with the revive ability.
I wish I could've had gone farther, both to see where the story was going and to see if the theme of the jam showed up further up since I couldn't see much with the short gameplay I had.
Again I think you have a very cool concept and idea here :D but I think it needs a bit of polishing (which I know a lot of times is hard to get during a jam with the limited time).
Thank you so much for your feedback! I've recently updated the game so that Steve and Stir start a level higher :) I was on the fence about how hard I made the game too lol lol. I'm so glad you liked the personality
Game has vibes coming out of it's ears - I love that!
The meat of the game seems to be the combat, it's quite addictive and effective. I like the extra turn if hit with a weakness mechanic, it adds a strategic element to the game. My favourite thing so far has go to be the main battle theme, it's hella catchy.
To be honest even though I haven't completed it yet (I am stuck at the CMT and not sure where to go) I don't think it's the best addition in terms of incorporating the theme of the jam apart from the fact the protagonist is a musician.
But all in all a cool and exciting game. I'll for sure try proceed past my sticking point later but I'm trying to get round to playing everyone's games so I'll maybe drop by again and have some more feedback for you.
Thank you so much for playing my game :)) I’m so glad you enjoyed it. You’ve reached the end of the demo but it’s in active development :p once the jam is over I can add the updates I’ve made. The battle theme is trying to be like Jojo’s bizarre adventure and Cowboy Bebop with some of my own flavor mixed in of course ;)
I believe in this jam you can actively update your game even in the voting period. Don't quote me on that it might be worth your while double checking that with the hosts in the discord or here to be sure.
You made your own music in the game? It's really good I like it!
Thank you! I've been finishing a lot of my really old songs lately so that was from several years ago now technically
(i was able to update the game :))
Hello, this game jam has a requirement that either the game is free during the submission period and rating period (so that everyone can play it) or there's a free demo version of the game available during this time (which people can play and rate instead). You are free to put a price on your game after the game jam ends.
So please, make some free version of your game available. You have a week to do so, otherwise I'll have to remove your game from the jam, which I'd rather avoid.
Sure thing!
Thanks for making that change!
