The art is superb! By the way, I haven't tried the game yet. I'll add this in my RPG game lists.  :D

Please do! And let me know what you think :)

Haha, I'm going to play this right now.

Great! Be sure to give me feedback

I actually enjoyed this game so much It's hilarious!!

I got stuck on the second boss (the big worm thing) {A bit too difficult if you ask me)

10/10 for humour and originality loved the game and how all of the graphics are custom made!

The first yellow duck scene was hilarious!

I also love how all the characters say "ok"

Hey there. I started playing the game. Really love the light-hearted atmosphere but with some dark, unexpected twists, and the quirky personalities of everyone. Dialogue is hilarious. I agree with the poster above. It's very funny how everyone responds with 'ok', even to serious things. I'm only about half-hour in so far, but I'll keep on playing further.

This looks like the greatest thing ever made. Downloading!

Ok so now that i registered, i can tell you what bug i found: After i reached ruffus's castle roof, he tells me that he's gonna murder my family and stuff, then black cat says that we should leave, and the game just stops. I tried restarting, but it stops there, with me stuck in the room unable to do anything, not even moving. It's like i have some missing file.

And in the middle of the rage i deleted the game. Maybe i didn't have to :|

Thanks for the great feedback everyone!

Ow, sorry about that. I'll look through and try and replicate it and fix it. I tested the boss battle a few times and the ending played fine, but I'll see what I might have missed to cause this.

OK thanks. Also, now that i've replayed to game to see if it'd work, here is a screen of where the game stops:



Maybe i can show you some game file to see if something's missing, but i dont know where all the stuff is.

Also this game is easily the best one i played in this life and in all other lifes, i had to tell you.

Heya there. I can confirm that I too am getting the same issue as Conein. The boss battle doesn't seem to happen at all. It seems as though it's about to start, but then the characters say it's time to get out and the game freezes.

Other than this, the game has been pretty fun so far. It did get a bit too battle-heavy in late stages, but overall a good RM game. Just hoping this issue with the final cutscene can be fixed soon so that we can all see the ending. :)

Thanks for the reports guys, I'll look into it as soon as I can. Unfortunately I've been extremely busy lately but I will get around to finding and fixing that bug!

unique story and art!

*bookmarked for playing list after another game played completely*

I've been trying to replicate the bug but it won't happen for me. I'll upload the version I'm using in case I've unintentionally fixed it between the version I have uploaded on the website, and the version I have on my computer. However if you have any more details to help me understand what might have happened, let me know. Did you fight/see Black Cat's mum? Did rocks fall from the ceiling?

I sat there at the crossroads of the river I've visited for the first time and thought; this game must go on for awhile longer. Should all my characters be level 10 with the highest equipment already? Why do I have this god damn fish that always dies when I move? 

My life has been improved by this game.

For me, the game stops the first time i enter ruffus'castle, i complete the puzzles, i see him for the first time in here, and black cat says we need to go away.

I suggest you level the 3 main characters up to 10 and get them the sniper rifle. The fish is useless for me, maybe there is a way to keep him alive

Same as what Conein said. Done all the puzzles in the castle, and then when I enter Roofus' chamber, they exchange some dialogue and then Black Cat turns around and tries to leave, but the game gets stuck. I am guessing this must be an older version that was uploaded or something.

I'm playing your game and enjoying the originality. However, I've gotten stuck.
