Haha.. cool game :)

liamlime 2013-04-29 13:26

That was fun! :)

Potions are awesome! I was at 22/30hp and it gave me 73/30hp. I choose to interpret this as the shopkeeper accidentally giving me the +1 potion instead of the normal ones.

Quite charming little game, played it on Hard. Enjoyed it! Great audio!

dustystylus 2013-04-29 14:28

Nice production! Great audio. When confronted by the red imp, I pressed escape when I wasn't doing any damage and seemed to lock the game somehow? (i.e., couldn't attack or leave). I broke it. :(

edocentrique 2013-04-29 14:37

Very fun !

aymes 2013-04-29 14:41

Nice, won on easy mode, didn't go for the hardest mode (I felt clever by then and didn't want to ruin it!)

The attack sound effects were a bit lacking and in stark contrast to the music which was good.

Good stuff :D

This game has a nice feel to it. I only played on easy (im a noob) but it was very enjoyable.

Nice work, for a game made on a weekend!

sanojian 2013-04-29 17:25

Great presentation. Great music. Really enjoyable!

guardian_bob 2013-04-29 18:06

Escape locked the main screen for me, and I was able to hit escape during a fight leaving me with no menu. Despite that, it was fun. A solid entry.

gertjohnny 2013-04-29 19:07

I got jumped by two rats right at the start on easy mode and got rocked. Other than the balance issues, nice work !

moomoo112 2013-04-30 02:51

seemed to get stuck when moving occasionally and then it just jumped around.. interesting though

lizengland 2013-04-30 04:34

Great fun, and the music was really catchy.

HelkeGames 2013-04-30 05:36

Nice game! Well Done xD

I had a lot of fun with it. The graphics were really good, and it had a wonderful feel of Chrono Trigger to it. Unfortunately, it seems like some things don't run properly in firefox, my browser of choice for linux, but that's not a big issue as I have chromium installed too.

hissssssssss 2013-04-30 10:07

Twice the game froze on me after fighting imps, when I had the best gear and after crossing the bridge. I never heard any sound, either.
Still, it might be a browser issue for me and not a problem with the game. I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Cool game, sweet tunes and graphics. I had the same escape button issue other commenters mentioned, but also I noticed that when I used an item, rather than granting me 50 points HP, it brought my HP down to 50, which was a bummer at higher levels. Was it meant to do this? Started using just Elixer, so I triumphed nonetheless.

richtx 2013-05-01 01:15

Enjoyed it. Embarrassed to admit I didn't get far on Easy.

krasse 2013-05-01 07:04

I love those rpgs, can't stop playing!
You did a great job with this game.
Very nice music as well!

multiplex 2013-05-01 07:44

Nice audio, I like the music. A few balance issues with the monsters, but still fun overall

hypp 2013-05-01 07:52

Fun! And very nice audio!

ltyrosine 2013-05-01 18:02

Nice game. More help would be cool but I liked it. Amazing that was done in pure javascript. I liked the graphics too.

jim3wg 2013-05-01 20:08

Fun !

galvesmash 2013-05-01 22:42

Great game!

nanolotl 2013-05-02 03:44

Really cool. The transitions between battles and the overworld were a nice touch. I also enjoyed the shop keeper's dialogue.

dr_soda 2013-05-02 07:23

Best use of Potato in the competition. :)

granada 2013-05-02 15:39

Nice game!

snoringfrog 2013-05-02 21:09

Beat it on both easy and hard (tried impossible, got beaten badly). Hit a bug with elixir in the compo version, and it spiked by HP/MP well above their limits. Other than that, no problems and I enjoyed it .

zim-the-fox 2013-05-03 05:09

Hey, I wanna know what your solutions were! And there is no unorthodox solution, just creative ones (or unexpected ones. I didn't have much time to make levels, but I intentionally made them so you could solve them in different manners).

The game is an RPG boiled down to its essentials and it works great. I managed to beat the impossible difficulty (at first I thought it was seriously impossible, but once you kill the first monster and get a potion, the rest is just grinding ;P)

And potatoes! They are so OP!

pplo 2013-05-03 22:51

That was fun!
Simple but all the main RPG features are here. Your game made me think about Half Minute Hero. Something similar in the mood.
Good game :)

jacklehamster 2013-05-04 06:00

Very nice. RPG is always one of my favorite genre

someone 2013-05-04 22:05

Heh, good game. Yay potatoes!

messiano 2013-05-05 04:36

Great RPG. Actually, pretty amazing for only 48hs! Congrats.

sko 2013-05-05 05:36

I think I saw you telling us about this on IRC before you started! What's your name there? At #ludumdare. Anyhow, this was fun. Great music, helping with a pretty nice mood. I grinded my way up to higher levels and bought everything before I went on to the boss, whose fight was fittingly minimalistic. The vendor had nice lines. Overall, one of the best so far, as for the game. As for the theme, while this was minimalism from a point of view (compared to other RPGs), I'm not 100 % sure of how well it sticks to the concept of minimalism in its own right, though, but still good. A short, solid game. One bug I found was that I was able to overload my stats from the menu (http://i.imgur.com/fQmarSi.png), but I see that was fixed in the post-compo version. The other was that when I died (post-compo), the game reloaded with me still being level 2. If that's a bug, it might have something to do with me spamming the return key as the game was reloading, to quickly pass the title screen.

tammilion 2013-05-06 09:43

Fun to play. Liked the speed of playing ^^

gsmproductions 2013-05-06 10:10

Great! I loved the music and sounds, and I loved how you really managed to strip down the JRPG formula to its very basic core. Really, really cool!

dst 2013-05-06 11:06

Thanks for telling me my link was broken :)

Great game you made, having played a lot of old consoles, the graphics reminds me of something from a better (and simpler) time, the gameplay itself also works very well :)

tifu 2013-05-07 21:46

Good job, completely linear RPG satirising the state of current games in the genre, maybe? %D
Seriously, nice concept, great music. It's a little easy to get to a state where only the king demon things can hurt you (on hard mode, I was level 9 with the best armour and nothing could damage me except them and the boss).

udrian 2013-05-12 00:13

Pretty neat base to build upon. How ever, it wasn't really well balanced... at all xP

lightnarcissus 2013-05-13 02:42

Cute game with some really charming aesthetics.

minionstudios 2013-05-14 01:44

Fun and awesome I like the quick leveling system

idovoodoo 2013-05-15 19:33

That was awesome! Well done :)

roguenoodle 2013-05-16 15:18

Very cool entry. I found it pretty tough even on easy, but I'm not that great at turn-based rpgs :P

vaelzan 2013-05-17 01:24

Addictive! This is probably the game I spent the longest on the whole compo :) (I Played through once on hard then once on impossible). Things I might add would be a Run button and maybe a scroll of town portal.
