Here's my playthrough of your game! It's at the 21:35 mark of this video. 

The graphics in this game are amazing! The story is also awesome and well-written, especially the not-so-happy ending for poor Matt. ='( At least he still has Alfie with him. 

That being said, the game got frustrating at times, since losing a battle means you must start the level all over again. Some of the moves like the ones that boost my attack and defense were redundant, as I relied mostly on weak and strong attacks, magic attacks, and heal to defeat my enemies. The parry system took me a while for me to get used to, but once I got the hang of it, I was able to defeat the enemies and the boss with little to no problem. 

Great jam submission! 

nice! i started getting the hang of the parry mechanic for the pumpkins, but not so much for the teeth... i also really had no incentive to use MP for anything other than Strong Attack and Magic Attack (and Heal). but other than that, i really enjoyed the character designs and overall aesthetic of the game. congrats!

Very nostalgic game! Reminds me of the childhood turn based RPGs I used to play haha! The pumpkin rounds were really fun and despite huffing and puffing, I found the parry system quite intuitive! Really creative concept and I greatly enjoyed playing this.

(My guess about the smell is that my parents are…having a business meeting with the grim reaper)

Really solid game, I'm surprised there was someone else masochistic enough to try and make a turn based rpg for the jam lol

Pretty cool, collisions missing and map squares visible, but the gameplay is nice.

The game has a pretty cool premise... but gameplay kinda hinders it a bit, first the enemies do not have health bar and it make me feel my attacks take ages to kill. Second, each new round, the skill screen start from the previous one, so if you are in the melee screen it stays there, this is a bit of a problem as it took a while for me to discover that I needed to click on "back" to choose the other options, I think it needed to start on that screen always.

The parry system is pretty good and pretty balanced on the pumpkins, but on the teeth not so much and it kinda hard to not take damage on that part and kinda hard to survive, as the heal options cost so much for how little you gain each turn.

The art is pretty good, thought some animation are a bit broken.

Overall, the game has some potential.

Love the aesthetics of this game 

Wasn't expect a turned base rpg. Pretty cool juicy effects.
