Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Nice entry! The sprites look great but the backgrounds need more detail. The dialogs are how I like them, short and fun. Sometimes the character gets stuck in the walls, it would be nice if you could fix it. I hope you keep working on your entry, because I think that with more work it could become a great game.
  • I like the strange and whimsical world you've made here. There were enough rough edges to hamper the experience sadly, various crashes, easy to hit yourself, and the double whammy of having to reboot after each defeat and it being so easy to pick new game by accident :') Animated scenery and more refined tilesets could've really helped bring more life to the world while still keeping the weird style. Nevertheless I got really invested in this one and would love to see where it goes next.
  • I really love the creativity and quirky atmosphere on display here! The soundtrack is also nice and fitting. This just needs a lot more polish - I ran into several crashes and softlocks at random times while playing, and the fact that the target selector defaults to your party member at random points during battle is the most infuriating bug. Keep at it!
  • the character's walking animation is incredible, the speech babble noises give it charm too. i ran into a fair few glitches/crashes (running on everdrive) but at least made it through the first cave to defeat the titan. random battles felt very stacked.
  • I wish there was more, I loved exploring the world and going around and talking to all the characters, the dialog is lovely!
  • Looks promising, but it still feels a bit unfinished. Unfortunately, I couldn't explore too much because the combat is quite difficult, and the game seems to crash when you die.
