Great entry! Played until the end! I think a little extra set of tools for all classes would be nice but for the rest, good work. The voice over cranked me up.

Great entry! Played until the end! I think a little extra set of tools for all classes would be nice but for the rest, good work. The voice over cranked me up.
funny as heck I had a great time
the cover is funny af
Nice speach recording at the begining
Not the Chrono Trigger I'm familiar with... haha But a lot of fun, great designs and a fun mechanics! The final sequence felt a bit drawn out and some of the hitboxes were unforgiving, but it was well made and well polished under the time constraints! The voice over was the cherry on top for sure!
Brilliant cover art and a perfect sense of humor
Very nice entry! Loved the gameplay loop of grinding to get overpowered. I enjoyed it very much. The voiceover was amazing!!! Overall well done.
the lines are impressive. well said.
It was a cool moment to spent. Funny and dynamic game with a good mood. Very pleasant ! Polished in some if not most aspects. Very well done ! (Thanks for the stats windows at the end. I love stats. <3 )
Pretty cool entry! Loved the word play with the "Chrono Trigger" title.
Really cool game, love the pixel retro style!
Great sense of humor
Fun and great art!
Very good mood, love the atmosphere and clever gameplay.
The voice acting is SO INCREDIBLY WELL DONE. The humor is absolutely brilliant too! Frickin' "Chromo Trigger". The name of your game had me laughing. That's impressive.
I don't even have any complaints. The game is just well made all around. I recorded myself playing the game if you want some extra feedback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwqSJJowfWM
Voice acting is absolute dope, i was obsessed by game from beginning till the end. Music is changing between personalities. This game definitely got "Gauntlet" vibes! One of the greatest games I've played from as of ludum
@100th-coin Wow! Thanks for taking the time to record and publish a playthrough, looking forward to checking this out after work today!
@100th-coin Thank you for the great review! It's such an awesome feeling to see someone play our game and enjoy it :) Loved the Meteor Match :p
This is one of the best games that I played, I would definitely buy it if you add more content.
Wow, @100th-coin - thank you for recording and sharing your playthrough! It's amazing to see someone actually playing and enjoying something we made 🤩
That was one of the best games I played for the jam so far! Cool graphics, awesome music, incredible voice acting with a bit of humor! It has some Vampire Survivors vibes, but it is not even a bad thing!
The only issue is that my index finger hurts after the game :D Other than that it is a great jam entry, keep it up!
Really nice moment. Congratulations to your entire team !!!
I had so much fun playing this! The voice acting was epic and the gameplay loop was fun and really addicting. I especially like the way taking damage reduces the gems, and powering up to the wizard felt just the right level of OP. Great stuff!
Great entry, had a lot of fun completing the game and I loved the voice acting and lore. I think some extra variety between the classes would have made it even better. Also, I want to give you extra thanks for having a volume setting and not destroying my ears :smile:
Wow that was an intense and thrilling experience! Super awesome game and the highest scores I have yet given anyone. With such a simple yet original premise you managed to engage me 100% for the whole game. The Voice acting and writing were HILARIOUS and made me lol. Whatever it is, it had that magic something that made we want to play to the end, which takes something extra for me because I'm so easily bored. I think it was great that you didn't die and have to start from the beginning, but just lost gems when hurt. I think if I'd died and had to start from the beginning I would have just quit. Animations, characters and effects were all on-point. If I were to criticize anything it would be aesthetic, the art for the environment/background lets the look down a bit, and I think having sprites with such a big difference in pixel resolutions looks a bit cheap. Seriously minor issues though, I just like to give balanced feedback. Thanks for the fun.
Inconsistent graphics breaks the immersion for me. Though I respect the monster designs and sprites very much. Lol, the voice acting is cool! Overall, this is a fun game to play with consistent game mechanics. Switching between characters felt natural.
Nice use of the theme, great voice acting, and loved the art, in particular the monsters. Also noticed the pixel size difference like some other players. Also enjoyed reading about your team's history with LD! Well done
This is just too good to be true! I love it so much! Such a nice simple idea but made really well and funny! Feels really good play and it's really addicting! This is just too funny man!! Too funny! the monologue, the sound effects, everything!!! SO good! I love it!! Looks stellar also! Hats of to you guys!!!! :)
The core gameplay is crazy fun! Love the stakes on taking damage as you don't lose all your progress but all crystals equally, feels totally fair and can't be cheesed by rushing into enemies collecting the right crystals. Gameplay-wise the transformation into the powerful mode feels so good. Stellar voice acting with funny dialogue, great music as well (love the separate themes and especially the combined one!), great work everyone I really enjoyed this!
There were some very funny jokes in there :P I think you nailed the scope and pacing and it was fantastic to see so many different creatures drawn.
The music was good, the voice acting was good and the sound effects were good. Audio was solid.
Also, 26 LDs is nothing to sneeze at. Congrats!
First off the voice acting really added a level of gravitas to the game! Well done :) The game itself was fairly well balanced and the combat was satisfying, but I did find it a bit of a grind. Would have been nice to see some ranged enemies thrown into the mix, and the combat was generally pretty easy until the last health bar of the boss, where running in a circle was pretty much the only strategy to stay alive. Overall a solid entry! Great work!
Wow, really awesome job with this, I'm super impressed! There are so many great small touches from the voice acting (not only at the start but the unique lines per character as you transform into them, awesome!) to the effects and the music and all. It was also really fun to switch between them and power up to be the wizard and fight the boss with its multiple health bars and moves. It wouldve been fun if each character played a bit different, but hey there is limited time! Amazing job!
Top stuff! Full of allusions and cliches that would win over any true gamer's heart (: The only thing I can pick at is the size of the viewport makes it harder for you to see stuff coming coming from above/below compared to across.
Awesome game. I like the variety of sprites. You could improve gameplay fun with having different attack mechanism for each class like: melee for warrior, ranged attack for rogue/hunter and burstshot for mage. The only thing which I did not like is music. It's too repetitive. Overall great fun game, thanks!
the number and variety of enemies is super nice to see, the game overall is very polished.
as other comments suggested, adding differences in the gameplay for the 3 base characters would be good.
i've had a good time playing it!
Very funny game, interesting concept and game mechanics. Some thoughts: - I liked how each character collects different items - Sometimes when you're a character you cant' collect coins of your color for some reason (a bug I assume)
@gonzalol when one of the gem meters is full then the player can't collect more of that gem even if they are the matching color for it, so hopefully that was what you experienced rather than a bug :sweat_smile: thanks for the feedback!
@landosystems It makes sense! My mistake
Well done guys! Finished it with quite a having fun in the process. Fighting this boss was quite a challenge, especially on latest stages! Also should say that you've done really well with amount of enemies implemented, wish them have slightly more personality tho. But anyway great stuff!
Very polished! What a great difficulty scaling, I liked the progression and it felt like an accomplishment to finish! Nicely done!
Nice work! I especially liked the commentary at each switch. I don't really understand what the gems did, but it was fun to try to balance running towards the gems with attacking enemies with running away from enemies.
Edit: I figured it out haha I like it a lot!
