Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.

How does your game fit the theme?
1. Originally the goal "saving the land" would include getting societal reforms started, but dialogue and plot were cut due to the time limitations of the jam.
2. In the combat, almost every character's ability has a special trait to synergize with other abilities, making it easy and useful to Just Get a combo Started
3. GUIDEUS is a roguelike, and in roguelikes you start new runs, so that is technically just getting started

Amazing Idea. I love the fact that you can combine hero attakcs. Overall, really good game with a LOT of potential for growth.

I watched your screenshots on the discord as you developed this, I was excited to finally get to play it <3  It has exactly the vibe I hoped it would have, I really love it. I like how it's turn-based, that's pretty unique in jams from what I've seen. The music, colors, and pixel art are all great, but you already knew I felt that way. My favorite character is the Lightning Girl!

Thanks for playing! Fun fact: The yellow one's design is inspired by Neru (image included) because I have a friend who yaps about vocaloid even though I don't care. Glad you liked my game tho!

Nice game, something akin to a turn-based bullet hell, but kinda buggy, and different heroes have attack that don't seem to interact well

a little bit jank, but I can see potential here. camera freaked out on me one time, with a bit more polish it can become something really cool. the whole vibe kinda takes me back to some DOS era D&D games so I'd like to see what this can be once  it gets worked on a little more

I ran as the fire guy aswell and had quite fun.

If there's still time left, maybe ill try a go at another character.

Developer

Interesting mechanics, I tried the fire guy first, but it was easier for me to handle the bubble ability!

Developer

Glad we can all agree that grass is the worst lol

Love the idea, but the art is a little rough and the its a bit buggy

I entered a battle, won, and automatically entered another one. A little buggy and a bit tiring ngl
