I think the first fight is definitely too hard. I was stuck for a while and almost gave up... then once I got past it, I beat the other 2 on the first try!
Most of the time the enemy would only need one second to take its turn, but from time to time, it would be very long (like 30-60s). I think it may be the server timing out rather than a problem with the game. Maybe you can change the duration before it count as timeout to be lower tho, so that it retries faster?
Thanks! Wow I'm impressed you beat the remaining bosses in 1 try. I wanted the final boss to be real hard haha. Well done my friend. Yeah idk why but at times the player2 does not respond back. You're right, I should lower the timeout duration. Thank you so much for the kind words and trying it out!
I’m a cat fan, so of course I enjoyed the game! It even reminded me of Puss in Boots because the enemy is a wolf (you can see it in my screenshot).
But there are a few things that could make the gameplay more fun:
- During battles, the walking animation plays even while attacking. Adding a proper attack pose would look much better. - The game size is a bit too big (206 MB), maybe it can be optimized. - At the beginning I went straight to the boss fight. It would be better to block the path until the player talks to the other NPCs to get HP first. - Also, adding an “E” interaction icon above NPCs when you stand in front of them would be great.
Heyy fellow cat fan! The first boss is a husky though XD. Yeah I did not get time for animations and optimiziation at all. I'll keep your suggestions in mind next time. The reason you can immediately try the first boss is because every boss can be soloed so you don't need a summon to fight any boss. I wanted this option to be available to the player. I wanted to provide some visual indication for interactable stuff but ran out of time. Thank you so much for the kind words and trying it out!
Hi, congrats on finishing the jam. Here's my review:
Nice art.
It really needs sound effects. Walking, attacking, etc.
I died twice on the first boss when I tried fighting him solo. Is it possible to beat him solo? You need to summon a companion, right? I tried convincing a companion to join me. I got his spirit up to 53. Then there was a bug, and the LLM stopped responding. It was stuck in "Thinking..." forever. I went to talk to a different companion, but they were also stuck on "Thinking...". So I restarted, tried talking to one again, and after my first message to him, he got stuck on "thinking...". At that point I gave up, because I don't think its possible to beat the first boss solo, right? I only have two attacks to choose from and he kills me before I can kill him.
Oh that's unfortunate. I don't know what causes that but the NPC just never responds. I think there is an achievement for defeating all bosses without using summons, so yes it is possible to defeat every boss solo hehe. If you would like to know how I can tell you
Other than Pokémon, I am not really into passive/RPG-style combat, so I am not a good judge of this game, but I really liked the intro. The intro story is awesome, but I am a slow reader, and almost all the time I couldn't fully read the text on the screen. When long text-based story monologues are presented, I think some type of pause should be welcome. Other than that, kudos to you for completing a game, mate! I wish you great luck!
I'm with you on that one haha, I would've love to add some animations. I wanted tomake the intro lomnger but ran out of time for first audio clip, but you're suggestion is genius, that would solve it! Might not be too late to add it, hmmm. Thanks a lot for the kind words and trying it out!

Cool concept, and I love the music :)

It was fun overall, nice job :)

All bugs have been fixed.
NOTE: The NPCs can sometimes get stuck and never respond. This happens very rarely happens, relaunching the game can be used as a fix
We have fixed most of the bugs. Yet there are some pending, such as:
* On screen buttons not working
* NPC Boss gets stuck and causes player to get kicked back into lobby
* Achievements button not showing up
* Music bugging out
* End game animation not playing
We are working towards fixing these as soon as possible
