Wow, an amazing little game! A bit too hard but the collision box are rather permitive, so... Still hard xD
I wanted to use Pico-8 for my entry too, but I still have zero experience with it, maybe for the next LD!
Great game, thanks!
The monster poses are super adorable. Hard but fun!
This is suuuuper hard. Love the monster animation.
Extremely hard, I survive for like... 5 seconds.
super hard but fun game!
Love the monster poses, and the game feels pretty good once you get the hang of it. The only problem is that it's too difficult to play, even after a while of practice. It's probably different for you because you played for like, 2 days straight. Nice game tho!
Thanks for all the comments! Really happy you liked it!
The game is purposely super-difficult :). But I would have liked to do it better, of course!
For example, the structure is too simple because my lack of experience with Pico-8 (my original idea was to put more magics per warrior and less speed). Also, I didn't have enough time to polish the pattern properly (steep start, weak middle).
Still, the pattern is always the same, so with enough time and practice is doable. I hope it can be rewarding for people with enough patience/time :)
Great but too hard for me
Game is nails! Addictive though...I fear my record is not very impressive: 7.8 seconds...
Really cool and hard game
tough game, I like the homage to old RPGs. I think it's a little too tough right off the bat. Comes off more stressful than fun. Perhaps start off a bit slower and work up to a high speed around the middle of the game.
Jeez... I don't have the patience for this kind of game haha. That being said, nice work with it. I love the pico-8 games :)
Too dang hard! I can only get to 8 seconds at best.
Simple, very hard, but addicting. Cute graphics, I love pico-8 games. Displaying the stamina was a very good choice. It kept me coming back because I knew there was a defined goal. I found it interesting that playing with sound on made it much easier for me to recognize the patterns. After maybe 70 tries, I finally memorized enough of the patterns, and it was dance time.
A bit hard, but otherwise enjoyable game.
Wouh, this one is really hard! The retro style is absolutely lovely. Felt warped back in time! Good job!
Hard, but I really enjoyed it!
I really like your sprite work & animation! Challenging game, I love that you made it in Pico-8!
I love the way the audio comes together for this. I think if I get the right rhythm going I can last longer than 12 seconds.
This is fun, but hard! At least the pattern repeats, so that makes it possible. I love the retro LCD game feel!
Hard but challanging! I couldn't make it to the end but loved the concept!
Thanks for all the comments guys! Even somebody reach to the end, that was unexpected (and makes me really happy!)
I made a video showing the full pattern. If you are interested in checking my strategy to reach the end, here is it:

It's a pretty tough game. It takes a lot of trial and error to beat it. Making it easier, but with random patters could provide the game with replayability. (Perhaps it could be another game-mode in the future)
10.3 is the most my brain can pull off haha. It's a good game, and strangely enough, I feel the sound effects would be annoying in any other game, but somehow seem to work well here. Nice game!
This one needs reflexes from the very begining.
It would be nice to have some different sounds to make you feel like you are doing some king of music.
Incredibly difficult, but I live for those dancing frog monster sprites. Sound effects get a little rough to listen to after a while but apart from that I quite liked this. Sadly, I wasn't able to survive all the way to the end.
Loved the Retro feel of the graphics
Super hard, but rewarding! Really neat idea here.
