Awesome game! It's very polished and enjoyable, I like JRPGs so much, and this game fits that so well, the story is good as well, congrats for doing this game!
Incredible game! I love the visuals, and the music is great! The only things I would add are maybe some more challenging enemies than the dummies, making the attacks non-spammable, and maybe some screenshake upon hitting enemies!
Very very strong entry you have. The sprite works are great. The loop was fun. I enjoyed everything related to this game from the sound design to the character designs. Well done.
Absolutely amazing. I am speechless. I thought it would be just the tutorial and boss fight and over, but I was flattered by what I witnessed. The way the game progressively reveals the reality with those eyes is just awesome. Nice story nice planning nice art nice gameplay.
The only thing if I had to say is I missed that there wasn’t any actual boss fight, and it just says “Slay me”. The dialog was also annoying as it appeared after the player moves just a little. Rest was just awesome.
Must-play for everyone! Well done!
The story, art, and sounds are great! The gameplay is the only thing lacking. This is a wonderful game!
The art is amazing and I love the narrative. This is great, especially for your first jam!
fun: good idea, good narrative, great work, you really nailed it
Presentation: love the artwork, sound design is great as well, very good, though, did you use some AI images? I'm sure you used assets. I found the same ones in Itchi.io, but the character image in the dialogue, and the statue of the woman, both looked AI 🤔🤔
creativity: great idea, the loop was amazing, fit the theme well, though I'm against this whole "face a god" thing
Absolutely brilliant. From the art, sound and music, to the puzzles and dialogue, all amazing. Has to be a strong contender for winning this jam in my opinion. Fantastic work, well done.
Nice meta game, with a tight loop. Congrats on a complete game within the time limit.
Super cool game! The narrative was enjoyable and super interesting. I really enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed it!
This is a super creative game, and I really like the story and the gameplay itself!
This is such an impressive game for your first jam good job!
I really did leave the start a long time ago
Kudos!
