So maybe a tutorial card on the page would be nice !\nI think that What I like the most about this game is the goofy graphic. I am a particular fan of those, especially with such global coherence, it's very pleasing.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1056791,"author_name":"Iwant_Pizza","author_uid":"iwant-pizza","epoch":1713381893,"text":"Raid Shadow Legends?)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1056843,"author_name":"DeerofBlue","author_uid":"deerofblue","epoch":1713382367,"text":"I love the goofy art style!

Had a hard time really knowing whether or not I was over-using particular spells, because I simply dont know how long I'd have to go until they run out. More AoE healing charges please? :D At a certain point I just kept getting rekt over and over until I simply died. The moose due to having more hp simply gets ignored until the other 2 die, and then he gets chipped down enough that he's close to dying each battle. So while it's nice that he has 50hp, he's not doing much to help his teammates haha. The enemies are just too smart.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1056939,"author_name":"Dan Allison","author_uid":"dan-allison","epoch":1713383214,"text":"I'm a simple man - I see a chicken with a sword and I'll play your game. I had great fun with this overall, always like seeing turn based games showing up in jams and this was a good implementation of that. My highlight was definitely the writing though. I definitely didn't expect the game with the talking rabbit to have such good dialogue and world building but here we are.\n\nBalancing is always hard in jams and for the most part it was fine but I think the snake fight was a bit too tough. I tried it 3 times before having to give up because I couldn't stay alive long enough. Still a really great submission and one I enjoyed a lot so great job to everyone who worked on it.\n\nP.S.

The dialogue was also great; it was funny and it made the characters more fleshed out. That said, I would click to advance the dialogue, hoping that it would display it all onscreen so I could finish reading it, but it actually skipped ahead, and I missed the rest of what what the character said.\n\nWhat I would have liked to see: some kind of skill progression. There were a number of battles, but my characters always had the same actions, and those actions never got better as the game went on, nor did I get more max HP or mana. There wasn't  much reward for winning the fights, which made them seem a bit repetitive.\n\nI did find a bug where an enemy killed Vni before Hare acted, and since Hare's action was to heal Vni, I was still able to use him, and I don't think he lost any mana for taking actions, either. Or maybe Vni's just that good! You decide!\n\nUltimately, I think what really makes this game stand out is the artwork, the dialogue, and the story\/worldbuilding. The battle system has a lot of unrealized potential, but that's jam deadlines for you!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld55\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/rac-games.itch.io\/final-forest-fiasco","text":"Post-Jam Version"},{"url":"https:\/\/rac-games.itch.io\/final-forest-fiasco","text":"Jam Version"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"94619","g_author":"1026322","g_event":"LD55","g_eventkey":"120","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"442124","g_title":"Final Forest Fiasco","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"1003","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"392554","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"392554","n_urlkey":"442124","n_parent":"383062","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/55\/final-forest-fiasco","n_slug":"final-forest-fiasco","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"26322","n_created":"1713227740","n_modified":"1777008017","n_version":"1239008","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD55","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":1,"author":26322,"body":"On a moonlit night, three warriors, seemingly at chance, meet in the depths of an overgrown forest, each with a mission that might alter the fate of the world.
