INTRODUCTION:
This is an Action RPG created for the RMN Summer Games competition. As per the requirements of the contest, I had to incorporate a theme of surrealism into the game project I make, so I decided to use a character that I created during my high-school years to make a simple game with spontaneous designs. That is all, now enjoy.
STORY:
In a universe far, far away, there is a lonely star that lies amiss in space.In that star is the wonderful and mysterious kingdom of Popo Land, where magic happens and people live content, peaceful lives. Every Spring season, the people of Popo Land celebrate the values of love and friendship. This year didn't have that celebration, however.
As of late, the people of Popo Land have been stricken with fear. The monsters of this world, who were as peaceful as the other creatures of Popo Land in spite of such name, have suddenly become hostile, randomly attacking and tormenting the citizens of Popo Land! They aren't alone, either, as some of the strongest, most noble entities in the kingdom have mysteriously adopted cruel, brutish personalities, turning this once peaceful land into world of terror.
Who is to blame for such travesty? Apparently, an outsider, who goes by the name of Nomed, declared war on the kingdom of Popo Land, casting a curse to corrupt the creatures so that everyone will live in eternal grief. At this rate, she is on her way to completely controlling the kingdom, but is all hope lost?
The ruler of Popo Land, King Brohoho, is making an effort to stop Nomed from overthrowing his kingdom. He attempted to find all untainted subjects to seek out the evil witch and destroy her, but everyone was too terrified... All but one at least. A young, curious little slime bubble, named Black Blob, volunteered to assist the king on his mission.
"Don't worry, your majesty!" said Black Blob in a soft, squeaky voice. "I'll go fight Nomed and make everyone happy again!" At first, the king was somewhat reluctant to send such a small, inexperienced child to save an entire kingdom, but this blob was the only one who showed any guts. King Brohoho agreed to let Black Blob travel the lands to fight Nomed and her evil forces, and the little blob returned to his home in the shire and bid his people goodbye. He's got a long journey ahead of him, but he can do it... Right?

GAMEPLAY DESCRIPTION:
Stats:
This is the general rundown of your stats in the game:
HP - "Hit Points", a value for the amount of health your character has. It decreases when struck with an attack, and increases when a healing item or skill is used.
SP - "Skill Points", a value for the amount of points remaining after using a skill. Every skill used requires skill points, and if this runs out, then certain skills cannot be used in battle.
POW - This stat determines how much damage you do by using a normal attack or a physical skill.
BULK - Bulk is how much an actor or enemy can withstand physical attacks (the attacks that use the Pow stat). Keep in mind that it has no influence on special-based attacks like the next one below.
MIND - Mind determines both power and defense against "special" attacks and magical skills. It also helps in determining the effectiveness of a support skill.
SPEED - Speed determines turn order in battle. Those with a high speed stat have a better chance of using their turn before a foe.
Element Types:
There are 16 types total. 7 of these are considered "primary" types (Fire, Water, Plant, Earth, Electric, Normal and Magic) and 9 considered "secondary" types (Ice, Air, Ghost, Rock, Fighting, Metal, Light, Poison and Dragon). Primary types are both applied to skills and inherent with an individual party member and enemy, while secondary types exist only among skills.
