2Worlds1Dream by lau16menor

[raw]
made by lau16menor for LD30 (JAM)
An experimental hybrid between an RPG battle system and an arcade game. I wanted to include more characters and enemies, but I at least got the basic gameplay down, and for me, it's actually pretty fun to see how long you can survive.

The idea of "connected worlds" in this piece comes from the idea of connecting the inhabitants of two parallel worlds, companions who fight alongside each other against their common fate... sadly I didn't really have enough time to really incorporate the narrative though :(

Loved your game. Awesome graphics and music. And the gameplay idea is really nice.

I don't suppose you're a fan of the MegaMan Battle Network games, eh? This is an awesome game to play with two people, and an amusing nightmare to play solo. I like the different attacks everyone gets, too.

To nitpick, while I get that your attacks lock you in place, it feels cruel that Franco's attack has the longest animation, but also tends to have the most attackers on his side.

I really liked this alternative take on combat :-)
It was fairly hard to play solo, but I think I did okay after getting the hang of it.
The graphics are nice and the sound is adequate- Good job!
If you develop this further with a story and such, as you mentioned, I would love to play it again :-)

Someone's already mentioned megaman but the multi character twist is good. Love the pixel art and the cute monsters. maybe add a joint attack if you build up a super bar?

Great graphics, and very nice gameplay feeling too. Well done, one of my fav. so far !
As some mates already said, it was kind of hard to play alone, but challenging !
Thanks for the game :)
