The combat is a good idea, I just wish there was a game behind it ;)

A bit tedious in the long run, but that's questing for you! Congrats on your first Ludum Dare game!

Tada! Good humor and good concept but lacking a bit of gameplay. Good work for the time though and congrats on your first game jam.
My score was 83.

The timing mechanic is a nice little twist -- I would have liked to see battles play out all at once (instead of just repeatedly hitting a directional key to get the next turn), and for there to be a separate button for block to spice up the difficulty a little.

Also, bonus humor points for anything that satirizes RPG tropes.

Cool concept. Fits the theme really well.

Great job on your first LD game! I wish that there was more of a game, the battle system was very interesting, reminded me of critical points in Paper Mario battles. But after the 10th guy and seeing that nothing was changing except the text, I got kind of bored.

This man started fighting at 3. How he is 103 and he is still fighting! That's the spitit!
Interesting battle system, but the game was monotonous.
"you liked your tiny world" - as if :P
