MV - Reincarnation Assistant (One Map Challenge)

hiddenone · 2019-03-01T05:32:26+0900

AKA: A super short game made for the One Map Challenge! Meet Mana. Mana's the new assistant to a Reincarnation God, one of the gods in charge of finding and sending people on isekai adventures. Unfortunately for Mana, her boss is a bit... lazy. And that means that she's stuck doing his leftover work, even if it's time to leave! Can you help Mana send the right people to the worlds that need then? Or should Mana just duck out as soon as the clock strikes five? This is a silly game all based around the idea that some of the gods that show up in isekai stories may not be great at their job. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, isekai stories are based around the idea of a normal person from Earth being sent to a fantasy world, usually to become a hero. Spoiler: Screenshots Since this for for the One Map Challenge, it all takes place in one office room... So there's not much to look at. You can play or download the game on its itch.io page! One Map Challenge stats: Maps: 1 (of course) Events: 8 regular & 1 common event Variables: 8 Switches: 1 This was made with MV's default resources to keep myself from spending hours making a bunch of things that the game didn't really need (like a bobble-head to sit on Mana's desk). I had a lot of extra ideas that could have gone into this, but since I wanted to actually finish a game I left them out. I'd love to hear what y'all think of the game, and if you'd be interested in a longer, more in-depth, version of the game.

I've played your game just yesterday and I really like the game concept. It's really nice to try to save the world simply sending the right hero. I don't know why, but your game made me remember a Snes game called Actriser, and please take it as a compliment.

In the future, I think you can expand it and make a lot more world and a lot more heroes. Maybe the player can even equip the heroes before sending them to different worlds. Or maybe you can do a bad version of the game, where we send villains to destroy worlds! Haha! Anyways, congratulations, man.

I remember playing your game a month or two ago I remember it was a fun little experience. I liked how Mana is the underdog in the situation , but will still get the job done. It must have been quite the feat to make a game with one map, 10 events and variables. I can't wait to play the 9 to 5 version.

My own experience with game Jams were interesting to say the least. The fun thing is make an idea on the fly and develop as the jam progresses. Speaking of Jam Games if you aren't would like to try mine?

This was fun! It was one of my favourite entries in the One Map Challenge!
I finally had some spare time to use my pc and check it out and I enjoyed it!
I think you did a good job working on the limitations of that One Map Event and used the chance to make something original with it.
That reminds me, I have a powerful entry too for that event and I have to finish it.

Good luck for the full game!

EDIT:
Sending Harold on random worlds was satisfying. :hsad:

Just played your game and I had fun! Really great what you can do with just a few events etc. and you showed that you don't need combat to keep it engaging.

I would be interested in a longer version.

There's not much I can say about this game that hasn't been said already on this topic, so I'll just summarize. I find the game real charming, I'm glad there's a full version in development, and I'll be looking forward to seeing more of it ^^

I played through this and oh boi was it amazing!
I tried leaving through the door the second the dang conversation ended, but the god asked me where the heck I was going, so that was fun.
I managed to send 2 heroes to their correct worlds, but...

Spoiler
Alice was a horrible fit for the third world (Forgot the name...) She ended up becoming a slave... so whoops. Sorry, Alice!
And that's not including example-opolis, so overall, I got a score of 2 out of 3. I was tempted to send dear old Granny there, but I decided against that due to the world possibly getting destroyed.
The story's well-written, the characters are 3 dimensional in personality, and it really reminds me of what's behind the scenes in isekai manga and anime.
Overall, GREAT WORK!! I can't wait to play the full version! Hopefully, I won't destroy any worlds, haha! Unless... JK! :kaopride:

Just discovered this. Amazing idea (how did you even think of that? hahaha) and really well executed.

Fast, funny, and I had a blast playing through this one. Also, nothing to download as this is playable through the browser. That's a nice plus!
