Awe thanks Unity! It means a lot that you checked it out and gave it a critique. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Also, THANK you for the comment regarding animations! I was looking through the script trying to see if there was something I could do to prolong the battle text, and I never thought simply to make the animations longer so the text doesn't just flicker on and off the screen. That's a great solution!

I also think you're spot on with the music. I like my battle theme for Coulddas most of all, but I think I need to find some better tracks in general. I think Darkest Dungeon is a great example!

Now I just have to find some royalty free pieces like that.

Thanks again for your review! Looking forward to playing your game demo this evening.

Thanks! Yes, Darkest Dungeon has really spot-on great music for that kind of thing! Best of luck on finding music that fits ^_^

Also, my game is extremely silly, just as a head's up XD

Archstone, my battle demo/minigame has been released!

(Archstone Screenshot)

Hope you all enjoy it! May make a game page for it in the future.

Finally got a chance to play!

This is a fun game, and you did a lot with the combat and the bosses, and the game keeps you on your toes!...
...Despite these small issues, I really enjoyed the game and liked the characters and the battles! ^_^ Very nice! :DDDD

If you go to the Vote page (the link to it is in the upper right of the page), I see a radio button beside every single image, so you can vote for whichever single image you like best.

However, I hope to compile the results by character to showcase them.

And feel free to make a post about which characters/artists you liked best!

I am slightly confused; do we vote for only one drawing, or one of each character?

Even though it doesn't look quite the same without a tail, I had to do this.

Here's another pixel art abomination from me! :D

I'll try to finish the other monsters as well.

EDIT: Balbo's also done.

Netsop believes he can fly, but really all he's doing is jump around a bit with the ability to confuse others like him. Also, jumping through and out of windows.
He can flap his wings, and his beak is still sharp, so prepare for some pecking action.
Confuse, Dive (1 target damage), Wing flap (low group spell), may randomly hurt itself



Baelbe is a floaty flying something something. Its huge beak is very long and Baelbe can use it to dive down from some height (becoming invulnerable for a turn, think Pokemon Fly), it can also wiggle and wrap around an enemy, stunning it. The next attack also will be targeted towards the wrapped person and do extra damage. Lastly it can also raise the speed of its flock/comrades.
In short, Baelba is just annoying to deal with.



Yoidu is a living skull disguised as a tulip or other flowers. It has knifes to bind and cut anyone who gets close enough, and also has a poisonous bite.
Poison bite (1 target, chance of poison), Evil laugh (lowers defense of group), Cut (2 hits, random targets)



Creepl LOVE magic. So much so, they will answer to you showing magic by shoving a spell right at you to show off their own.
They do get confused easily due to that love for magical display as well.
They have a range of magic, tho they prefer fire magic both as a fireball or a fire-rain.
Magic Magic-retaliation (does not cancel the effects of any spells), Fireball (1 target), Fire-rain (group, 3 turn duration which uses their turn, extra damage on third), lightning strike (1 target), Magical Surge (increases magic damage for all units)

Damn finally having some time to clean them up. Let's see how far I can go tonight!

Here are the old two:
bonus ones coming maybe.



Watowark is a cute big bee, a little ditzy, and with a big gaping teething hole in their stomach. They like to surprise their enemies.
They have a higher chance of taking you by surprise on a resting place than other enemies.
Bite (1 target, causes bleeding), Saliva Drip (reduces Def greatly, one target), has a chance to cause stun/paralysis upon attack.



Coulddas is a well-hidden foe. It's sticky and its tentacle try to hold onto the enemies, or hold itself close to them.

Hold (holds onto the enemy for 3 turns, causing damage over time, person they are attached to get damaged whenever Coulddas is targeted on-top of them. No other action possible during the duration), Throw Feces (blinds and damages one target), Sticky Goo (slows speed of group)

Oh, well darn. Thought I had another day to finish. Guess I can't submit then. :/

It's noon on the 4th my time and the contest ends at 8am on the 5th my time. You can still do it!

I can see some awesome stuff around here. These demos look great Gredge, unity.
I'm probably too busy studying to push something out now. But I want to.

Alright, I have the main 6 done!

The Watewart is a really tiny creature that delibrately looks unfortunate. From the eye that never was to the useless, unclosable, constantly drooling mouth. This pathetic appearance is meant to evoke sympathy in anyone who sees it and allow it to feed off the energy of the sympathetic.
Wail: The Watewart emits a cry that reduces the defense of the target a little.
Drain: Attempts to feed off the energy of the target.


People joke that the Yoida is a glass of Tomato Juice posessed by an insect that drowned in it. It's not the most dangerous creature one could fight, but as long as the glass of its body is intact it can generate a seemingly infinite amount of the red acidic liquid held within. Watch out though, that the liquid doesn't hit you when it dies.
Drip: Dribbles internal liquid onto the player for damage.
Smash: When HP hits 0, attempts to smash itself against a target for massive damage.


The Netsop is an odd one, appearing like a human like being that wants to be left alone so it disguises itself as a lopsided monster. All recorded attempts to communicate with the Netsop have failed, as it tries to run away often.
Screech: A yell that confuses targets.
Glare: The 'disguise' glares at all targets, doing damage.
Glare Flash: The 'disguise' glares and blinds targets.


The Couldas is the fruiting body of a very nasty fungus. The Couldas takes on a form similar to a human child in the hopes of luring in either a concerned human or some predator looking for an easy meal. To enhance this, it uses the flute in the side of its head to channel air into the twin mouths and imitate wails. Once it lures in a target it quickly infects the target with painful spores. Ideally, the target flees and carries the next generation far away but it is not uncommon for targets to die to continued attacks by the Couldas.
Spore: Damages all targets.
Wail: Damages all targets and causes confusion.
Stab: Stabs a target with the 'flute'.
