The premise seems cool, but i think the game really needs something to explains it's controls and mechanics because i didnt know what i was doing for a solid minute ^^

I believe there is a text document within the zip file.Thanks for playing!

Grats on submitting! having the instructions in game on screen would be handy... and recognition of the play character would be a lot easier if they were contrasted from the environment more. All the purple and dark tones makes everything blend together a little too much, i think.

Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D

Cool game, the controls were a bit weird but I worked them out. The game had a good mood and use of audio!

Nice try to make RPG in game jam! I think faster tempo of battle scene will help faster understanding for the mechanics. anyway good job :)

Got a GM error after I died to the first ghost enemy,

```
FATAL ERROR in

```

Gotta say, didn't really get invested in the battles, but I'm still impressed that you made an RPG game with GameMaker in such a short time! Turn based games are pretty tough to work with and design.

I felt like there wasn't much in terms of actual skill, or at least I didn't figure it out yet. I didn't know how to re-heal myself and there was no XP/money/battle drops/items to accomplish said recovery. I couldn't figure out what the difference between the attacks were, usually each enemy appears to have an attack it's weak against but to me that was just cycling through the attacks and guessing which one does the most damage. If the games attacks were clearer or more easy to interpret and there was more to the "world" part of the game (which was a bare-bones platformer), this would really be something cool!

Regardless, an RPG was a breath of fresh air, good work!

What's a good strategy for the combat? It felt like I was just slowly losing health and magic and I couldn't find a way to heal myself. It also needs to be much faster.

Thanks for everyone for playing the game!Also thanks to @adrisj7 for finding the glitch :) .For the speed of the game i was going for something slow and flashy but couldn't make amazing animation due to time and skills.Thanks for the feedback !

@ectucker1 I fixed the link.Thanks!

Nice game, I was a little confused by the controls at first, but once handled, it's ok!

I couldn't play it, Start button doesn't seem to do anything.
