Posting my review before the rating period ends, still needta play more, but can already tell it's peak!
Our last comment of this jam. Thank you a lot for playing, hope you finished it!
I immediately went back to my tab w/ the game after posting and finished it
It was indeed peak, can't believe that was your first jam!
LAST RANKIN' I'M ABLE TO DO. Wonderful game! Loved the subversion. I really didn't expect it! The gameplay is crisp. I love the corruption like things that keep appearing.
Wonderful job! <3
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING IN THE LAST MINUTES!
This game is really awesome, it's a very creative interpretation of the theme. Great job!
Thanks!
A well executed game with an interesting premise. Very polished and entertaining.
Thank you for playing!
Super polished and loved the overall vibe! GJ :D
Appreciate it, thanks!
Just awesome, well thought out, well designed, well executed. Great job!
Thanks!
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!
Thank you so much!
incredibly polished game for the timeframe and first gamejam??? insane, well done :)
Thanks!
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!
Thank you! Youre right about the more challenging enemies, thats what we had in plan.
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.
Thanks! Hope you finished it
100% I killed the god of mischief
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!
Yeah we had some plans about the boss fight but we didnt do them bcs the time was short.
The dialogues are must-read for the story so thats why we "forced" the player to read them, I understand that it can be annoying tho.
Appreciate you for playing it, thanks!
The story, art, and sounds are great! The gameplay is the only thing lacking. This is a wonderful game!
Yeah, the time was short. Thanks for playing!
The art is amazing and I love the narrative. This is great, especially for your first jam!
Thank you so much!
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
None of the assets were AI. Some were drawn by my friend (the other developer), some were from the internet. Scroll some messages down, you'll find a more detailed reply (someone asked the same thing)
Oh sorry 😅 you know, seeing a drawing in the middle of pixel assets feels weird, I mostly use assets, I did make some platforms in Photoshop though, so I totally understand.
Octav is really talented, he can do almost everything :))) he was inspired by some AI type of art (dont remember the exact name, see it below in the comments) but the pictures were drawn in photoshop, he can show you some proof if you arent sure :)
A god means a zeity in the english dictionary. We had a similar comment, a guy told us to "die in the infernal hell" bcs he thought we were referring to a real religion. That is absolutely false. The god in our game represent the game itself (the game god).
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.
Appreciate your kind words!
really good game. loved the plot. keep up with the good work.
Ofc, thanks!
Nice meta game, with a tight loop. Congrats on a complete game within the time limit.
Thank you!
Super cool game! The narrative was enjoyable and super interesting. I really enjoyed it!
Thank you!
Very creative and unique! The story was great and very engaging. Took me a couple of deja vus to realise I could go back lol. Great effort for a first game!
Love your perseverance. Thank you a lot for playing!
