The graphics confused me a lot. The mechanic is only so-so but could easily be improved if there were more allies. The music needs to be quieter by quite a bit. Pretty good entry overall.

I appreciated the art so much. gameplay old style was fine. Skills are calibrated to be used in a single way. It is a one go. The jam them is a bit forced in the final love scene
Not bad. I think with some more fights you could have gotten more out of the loop mechanic. Maybe a fight in which each unit can make 2 actions before the looping starts.
I think the art style is kinda cool in this, especially the character portraits. Couldnt beat the guardian of rot though :( he kept killing me!! nice work!
wonderful job toad! always nice to see a jam with a little story of its own put into it- i can tell you put some heart into it, it has charm :)
the combat mechanic confused me a little at first but once i realized how it worked i thought it was actually pretty cool! essentially turning combat interactions into puzzles --
played it through to the end -- well, twice of course pffheh
Ribbit.
Do toads ribbit?
Croak.
I found the music grating, and the encounters to be mostly luck based. Also, the fact that there was music but no sound effects made it really difficult to feel immersed. I like the art style, though, so not bad overall.
