• This is a fun and creative concept that does a great job of trying something new, but the RNG on this was a little rough. I would definitely play a completed polished version.
• Most likely the most creative game we have had this jam, given how in-depth and polished the execution is. I'm not the greatest at luck-based games like this, but after a few tries, even I managed to defeat all the bosses, so it's entirely possible even if you have, as the kids say, "Skill Issues". The progression in this was very well executed, I especially liked how the movement became affected by the growing pregnancy, and how many visual stages there were as well. It's difficult to give further feedback, because every run of the game will be entirely different based on the player's luck, so comments about "balancing" are basically out the window. It's all about planning, planning and more planning... And then getting screwed over by rolling a 4 and getting hit by an enemy encounter that you didn't want. A banger, I just wish the gambling gods liked me.
• Overall was a fun game. Fun to see a board game/party like game being included. I was able to catch on pretty fast to the mechanics and defeat several of the bosses in my first playthrough. Would love to see more games in the community built about this concept. Pregnancy content wise we have the character growing as the game moves forward. Several npcs will make comments and help or hinder you. I think one of the coolest factors is how your pregnancy affects your dice and ability to move. Which leads me into the gameplay, pretty simple and moving around the board. Pregnancy affects that movement which is a pretty cool aspect. Your focus is to find the boss as well as collect supplies along the way to prepare for that fight. Creativity I feel is where this game shines the most, starting from the aspect of it being a board game like simulation. You also have a ninja focused story where the world and npcs play into that fantasy. Then you add how a pregnant ninja would play into it all, really cool! Jam theme wise we have the character progress as game progressed. I feel like the progression was a pretty rapid pace compared to the game but not sure if that was simply because there was planned further progression stages or if I was a fast grower. All in all, very neat game!
• Though not as much focus was put into the Expansion theme in my eyes (As it's not fully woven into the story), the creativity here is stellar! I mean, who would have thought of an RPGM that was a board game?! It's a unique game all on its own and I enjoyed the game's theme a bit- You don't see too many ninja games nowadays.
