fightfightfight by bleatingheart

[raw]
made by bleatingheart for LD26 (JAM)
A minimalist rpg (and my first LD game.) Play as sword, axe, or girl. Loot and chickens await.

Made with music from Playonloop.com

N.B.: Combat outcomes are random, so if it feels like you're stuck in a loop you're probably just having a streak of bad luck.

Fits the theme. It reminds me of one of those idle RPG games, except you have to keep clicking. :(

Looks great, awesome music, hilarious. I'm not sure I'd really consider it a game though.

Wow, so many 80 hour RPGs are basically this game if you remove the graphics, fighting mechanics, and story. It makes me feel like I wasted an epic amount of time playing JRPGs where I didn't find the story compelling. I like the three word repetition theme and the music is perfect for RPGs. The square format is fun and makes the game feel small. I was shocked to see the right click menu was so extensive. Awesome game!

Okay, I really enjoyed this game. The music was great, the sound effects were good, the concept, I found, was hilarious and I enjoyed it so much. And then I was a little disappointed when I thought there was so little to it and then suddenly I was in a town and the game kept going and there was an ending and everything :p Made my day, a fun game.

Pretty fun, but is it a game? Not really..

This might be the best game I've seen so far. I love the scrolling words in the background, the music, the "I don't care" attitude, and the humor!

Hilarious. I feel like this is pretty much how most RPGs play anyway, especially games like Mafia Wars or that Behemut "card game" on iphone.

Made me laugh. I had serious DEJA VU while playing this game, as if I had a dream about playing it long before actually playing it.

LOL! I played through the whole thing and began picturing the game in my head based on the text and music. Excellent humor & music, and it fits the theme great.

Truly an font of minimalism.

This is hilarious. It's the perfect game, minus the gameplay.

Fan, freaking, tastic. This made me laugh out loud multiple times. It's short, simple, and wonderfully coherent and finished. Pretty much perfect.

nonono. no offence, it just didn't seem like a game, more like a repetitive story that never got anywhere.

I want to show this game to my friends, this is every stereotypical RPG in a nutshell I love it.

If I asked someone to make me a minimalist drawing and they returned with a blank sheet of paper, I wouldn't say that they had succeeded. Similarly, this is an amusing and visually interesting gag, but it's not a game and, on that note, it's not a minimalist game. There needs to be gameplay for it to be a minimalist game.

Loved the art, by the way.

A little *TOO* minimalist but a funny enough to make me laugh.

This game is so bad I had to make a flash review about it!

Jokes aside,sure it is minimalistic :) Great graphics and sounds. I like how it humors classic JRPGs.

Hahaha, that was brillantbrillantbrillant. Pretty much every RPG ever. I especially liked that 'girl' was a weapon. ^_^

I was surprised to see this was a Ren'Py game! I slogged through a lot of RPGs when I was younger and you really captured the essence. Great entry, very funny.

Hahaha, the music totally makes this game. It was great when I first went into a town... then stole stuff, and fought chickens... Heh.
