Nice and atmospheric, very eerie. Neat color scheme giving an otherworldly sort of look, but I couldn't tell what any of the sprites were supposed to be. The gameplay unfortunately didn't really evolve through the levels, so I actually had an easier time at the end than the earlier levels."},{"author_name":"pvtroswold","author_uid":"38531","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:52am","epoch":1408938420,"text":"Thank you C_Walden!

I like how you can see the world while you are battling and have to fight enemies in a non-traditional format. I would say that you should expand on the way this is presented, though.\r\rIt might be better if the counter that displays the number of enemies you have to defeat was closer to the battle window. It is kind of in a location where it is hard to see.\r\rGood job and look forward to playing more of your games!"},{"author_name":"JaJ","author_uid":"5496","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 12:29pm","epoch":1409055840,"text":"I liked the music.

Its really simple as it is, but I think there is a really good game hiding in there.\r\rIf you could figure out a way to make the terrain affect the battle once it starts somehow...

Nice job, overall, especially for your first Dare."}],"images":["ld30\/38531-29102646103ee1d5229f50426d767c67.jpg","ld30\/38531-1b4e024c1b98226fbdd1af744113d69e.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/uc?export=download&id=0B7gP6lZ9gFv6OC1yMlhIa2lxYnc","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"17643","g_author":"38531","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"17672","g_title":"Nomoj","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"697","g_commentcount":"23","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/38531-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/38531-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"RPG with otherworldy elements!
