NOT GONNA LIE. I'm here for the art. Hahaha it's look so great and feel great too . I'm not fan for story and combat but it's not matter for me. hehe
A really charming experience, and the title cracked me up, however the parrying during combat wasn't as easy and intuitive and I found few bugs, such as on second attempt to fight the Court's Knight again, the attack froze for me - I was able to click on other elements, but nothing was happening. It took me couple of times refreshing the game and thankfully it did save your progress as otherwise I wouldn't have tried playing again, but if it wasn't for the story and the artstyle, the gameplay loop itself wasn't as engaging combat wise. Overall however, I do think it's a good attempt at game and a small charming experience in this jam. Congratulations!
Really fun! The dialogue SFX are a little rough, but that’s not a big deal. The game design is really great! Kudos for managing to include all those combat mechanics!
Parrying is sometimes a little tricky to pull off—I think it could use some visual or audio cues. Also, in the interface, I would have liked to see a health bar for the opponent.
I didn’t manage to beat the prince, but I’ll be back! :D
This was a really challenging & fun game! The mechanics offer a lot of challenge both in terms of decision making & timing, and the story itself was engaging to go through. The only thing for me though is that maybe the timing for both the parries & the attacks can be a bit more forgiving, but overall this was great!
Incredibly beautiful game! The intro panels are out of this world.
As other comments have mentioned already, it was a bit hard to time attacks/parries since the indicators when to click were quite unclear. That'd be a cool fix in a future version!
thank you so much!! the intro panels were originally some little thumbnails i mocked up to show the idea to the team- i didn't get around to finishing them until like 5am on my final day of working on it all LOL so i'm glad they're worth it <3 thank you for playing and for the feedback!! :DD
I love this game's art, and the combat system is so original — I'll probably need to spend more time getting the hang of it.
thank you so much!! <33 it was so fun to work on this, so i'm glad you enjoyed it!! thank you for playing :D
i absolutely LOVE the art and the STORY! i really enjoyed playing this game, even though i had difficulty to aim my attacks and parry accurately. also the fact that u cant even trust the teacher who gave u the tutorial to fight is spot-on with the theme xD
LOL imma run with that for the difficulty >:3c thank you so much for playing- i'm glad you enjoyed it!! :DD
extremly impressive art for a game jam, the game really feels like it could be developed further as it is very addictive. The parrys could just be a bit easier to hit.
thank you so much!! :DD i love getting to do cutesy art for jams ^_^ i do think out of the jams our team has taken part in, this is one of the games i'd love to take further :] thank you for playing!
Absolutely fantastic jam submission, the lore, gfx, sfx and music top. The only part I wasnt sure if it was me or the game struggling was the hit accuracy at enemy attacks.
thats so kind, thank you!! qwq i know everyone on the team will be so thrilled to know the love we put into this was appreciated ^o^ the attack/parry system is defo a part we want to improve upon on the future, so thank you for the feedback too!! <3
This one was really great! Incredible work here!
thank you so much!! i'm glad you enjoyed it <33
the manga panel intro of the whole court turning on her and then picking the cell lock with an earring is a great opening, and the pink on grey art with the rose bordered text boxes is some of the best looking work in the jam. betrayed by literally everyone is the theme with no notes, lovely work
that makes me so happy to hear!! <33 the lil comic was a blast to make, and i love how our writer incorporated the earrings heheh gotta love a badass but still girly princess!! thank you so much for playing <33
10/10 I love this art style it is so pretty. It's very fun.
thank you so much!! :DD it was fun finding a style with the versatility for all the expressions but still simple enough to crank out enough assets in one week :3
Genuinely enjoyed playing this game! I especially loved the art. Your team did an amazing job. Congratulations!
thank you so much!! i'm so glad you had fun <33 it was such a fun project to work on :3
This was amazing, I loved everything about it!!! The only thing I struggled with a bit was how to fight - I didn't know that you had to click on the "A" when your attack was near the person, & so I just kept hitting the "Attack" button & wondering why I was missing. Beautiful artwork, lovely sound design, & overall, a very fun game!❤️
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it :D
You're able to click anywhere (and I believe spacebar works too) but the hit timing takes a minute to get used to! We've had a lot of good feedback about adding a parry indicator to make it a bit more intuitive
Loved the artwork and the narration of the game! I hope to have a health bar for the enemies, also I can't really do the parry when the enemy attacks? There is also a problem where fighting the chef would crash the game. But overall a well polished game!
Thank you so much! The enemies do gradually desaturate as their HP decreases but it could definitely be a little more clear! It took me a while to get the parrying down (and the purple greatsword attack parry isn't working) but we're very grateful for all the feedback :D
Very fun game, I LOVE the art. The style is so nice to look at. The ui is incredible. My only complaint really is that its really hard to tell how to get the timing for your hits/dodges. Some kind of indicator for that would be nice. But seriously, fantastic job on this one.
Enjoyed this one.
Wasn't able to finish, I got all of the items but the 2nd and 3rd seemed to do nothing? Not sure if continuing after getting hardlocked at the start of some fights messed something up (winning a fight in the middle of a boosted string of attacks seemed to consistently trigger the hardlock).
An indicator of the timing needed for the timed hits would help, I eventually figured out everything but parrying the knight sword (unless it's impossible to fully parry that?)
I'm glad you enjoyed! There was a bit of a crunch right at the end so I don't think all the items were fully implemented as intended. The knight's sword parry also doesn't work but we really appreciate the feedback!
The game looks pretty and wish I could’ve seen more but I was stuck fighting the knight. All my attacks missed except when blocking and even with doing that 6 times, I still lost :/
such a pretty game i love good art like this, very well made too polished in every aspect, I liked it good job u u guys!!
Man i loved this one haha. Crashed for some reason in the fight against the teacher after missing my first attack. Regardless, loved the combat system.
i'm so glad you enjoyed it!! i'm sorry to hear about the crash though, but thank you for playing!!
