Minimalist art for a minimalist theme! :D This new, unexplored art style was an adventure in and of itself! No time for music this LD but we were able to flesh out a concept that we'd like to take further! Enjoy!
- Ready for an endless adventure? Pack your bags, grab your weapons, and just keep walking to the right! - Once you leave your Home Base, the action begins and your party is faced with enemies that you must defeat in order to continue your journey. - Battle is turn-based. When one of your characters' Active Time Bars fills up, it's his/her turn to use a skill. - During a character's turn, you must choose a skill to use. - You may target multiple enemies - or party members, if you're using a beneficial skill - by clicking and dragging over your desired targets. - Survive your way through enough enemy hordes to get some sweet, well-deserved rest in the nearest Town. - In Town, you can visit the Inn to heal your party and buy new skills - all provided you have enough Gold! - Each character can only hold 4 skills so choose wisely and replace the skills you don't need! - When your bellies are full of grog and you're feeling brave enough, leave Town and continue your endless journey! - Prove yourself to be the greatest adventurers in the land and journey further than any who came before you! - Oh! And, don't die or you'll have to start all over again!
I love this game. It's very fun and the graphics style is very cool. It nails the theme not only graphically, but also mechanically. I agree with bleatingheart, if I had a more fleshed out version of this on my phone, I'd play the hell out of it :)
I remember you guys' Dr. Vile game from the last LD! Another great job, with a great vibrant and engaging art style reminiscent of Ridiculous Fishing. However, in terms of minimalism I think the game is a little complex with four skills for each of the five heroes and plenty of things to buy in the store. Of course, each person interprets "minimal" differently.
I would also like to see some feedback on the buttons in the UI, like give them down states when clicking and off states if the player doesn't have enough money to purchase an item. Otherwise, solid game!
Nice! Solid concept and execution. Ridiculous Fishing style done pretty well. Downsides - visuals were a bit too complicated, making things a little too busy (but the visuals are done well and look nice!). The controls felt a bit clunky for me, also the shops were not totally apparent what they were (I had no idea it was an Inn until i clicked it).
Also, not sure if it's a bug, but are you supposed to be able to click and drag ont he enemies and select all of them and just have your party attack every enemy every time?
Thank you for the feedback, everyone! Looking forward to getting a full-fledged version on mobile :D @Tokken18 - Yup, you can click and drag multiple enemies :D The planned mechanic was to have a penalty for making your attack chains longer but we didn't have time to put it in. It'll be an important strategy mechanic in the full game, though!
Very interesting triangle-ish graphics :D with some more content added this would be really interesting game :) i also have noticed, that if two monsters stand near each other and i click to attack one of them, the game acts as i have clicked both monsters (both get selected and later attacked). Dont know is that intended, or a bug :)
Nice art, nice concept. All these skills and combat strategy make your game deep. A little more help would be great and music/sound is really missing but I understand that so many features took insane time to build.
Really liked the graphics and the type of game. Just wish to have more choices and bit more of strategy during a fight. Well,after all, the theme was still minimalism...Congrats!
Definitely had fun playing, and I was really digging the graphics. Some action-y background music for battles would have given the game a really epic feel. An option to make the battles system "active" (meaning that the time bars wouldn't stop when it was someone's turn) would have been cool. I hope you keep working on this!
Played until I had couple of skills with every party member, so I guess your entry was pretty successful! However, I have a couple of notes:
* There seems to be no way to change your attack when you have chosen one. * Weapon shop was never open? * Choosing the axe wielding party member in towns was tricky! * There's no reason to buy skills to any other party members than the two that act first, most battles are over by then and the ability to attack every enemy at the same time leaves any stragglers with minimal health. * SP seems to do nothing? * Not sure, but all attacks seem to do the same damage... * Always forgot to put recently bought skill active! * Fainted party members seemingly heal when visiting inn, but never participate in battles again.
More complete version of this could be pretty engaging and addicting!

My only complaint is that it took so long for me to buy skills, for the longest time all I do is attack =P

The graphics style is awesome though
