Eternal Journey by GreenPixelDev
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!

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

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?
@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!
* 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!
The graphics style is awesome though
