Introduction
Little Briar Rose is a graphic adventure game inspired by “The Sleeping Beauty”.

You are a brave prince who is trying to save the princess from an evil spell that forces her to sleep forever. In order to save her, you have to explore the enchanted forest which surrounds the castle where she is imprisoned.
It will not be an easy task at all: the forest is populated by several magic creatures, and you have to help them in order to break the curse.

This game is partecipating to the 2014 Indie Game Maker Contest:

Characters
You are a prince, but are you a Prince Charming? Or are you just an ordinary pretender, such as Philip, Arthur and Edward before you? As the Grimm brothers said: “Many tried, but only one prevailed”. Every time you fail, a new suitor will take your place and try to save the princess.


Gameplay
This is a Graphic Adventure where you have to use the mouse for everything:
Look: just look for items
Action: use an item or interact with an object
Talk: talk with other characters
Go: move your hero to next the map
There are several items in the game. Some are well visible, some are not. To use an item, select it from the item menu and click on a character (or an area).

This looks stunning.
Very excited to play this once it downloads.
Also interested to try a point and click done in the VX Ace engine!

This was hands down one of the most gorgeous rpgmaker maker games I have ever played. The characters and storybook setting were very charming. Your win was very well deserved. I agree that movements could be added to the maps or npcs.
i finished the game i relly liked it :)

Can't wait for the new version!

I'll never change. "Me" is better than your opinion, dummy!

I can't wait to play this! If it is all in the stained glass style you'll have touched my heart. I've really liked the stained-glass look since watching the opening for Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
Thank you very much! I still can't believe we had the 3rd place *_*!
Ok, now we have to move on and release a complete/restyled version!

Well done guys!
Congrats as well guys, that was well-deserved!
Hey! Congratulations on getting 3rd place in the Non-RPG category. You did really well and it showed!
I played the game and it was very nice!

The graphic style was beautiful, and the puzzles were pretty fun. The only bad thing is that I died twice... :(

I hope you win something good in the contest!
Thank you for your comments :) They'll be very useful for the next releases :D

Just played the game, it's short

The game is part of the indie game maker contest, so the game should not be longer than an hour... we'll improve it after the contest will end :P

as in the poor excuses some characters make up to force the hero to walk around the place

In origin that quest was a bit more complex and reasoned, but it was cut to remain in the contest bound :( We'll fix in later releases ;)

The sound volume changes should be done gradually for a more smooth transition, right now they're very abrupt.

you're right D:

It would look even better if the text boxes were in the same style as the backgrounds (for some reason I think a comic book text box style would work well).

We thought to leave the message boxes as simple as possible, in order to make the player focus on the background... but, right, we can do something better :P

author=iddalai
In the future I'd add some movement to the backgrounds and NPCs to make it more fluid.

Of course :D

Also, I'm pretty sure this icon should be "Talk" and not "Look".

Ach, buuug! ><

It looks beautiful! :D

Aesthetically speaking it's very unique.

Edit: Just played the game, it's short and some story parts are quite ridiculous (as in the poor excuses some characters make up to force the hero to walk around the place, i.e.: spoiler:
golden scales
), but despite this it's a charming game!
The music, simple controls and imaginative graphic presentation makes up for the shortcomings.

I really liked the intro "special effects" and presentation.

Spoilers:
Changing the Prince when the player loses is a well thought and fun detail. Does the achievement changes based on the Prince?
I'd make the ending a bit longer to be more rewarding.

Ok, let's see!
At this stage, i can't really find your bug. So here some questions:
Does this happens every time you try? Have you tried again after that?

It crashes after the mushroom starts sparkling... is this common?
Never happened to me, it ran without an issue. You mean when you've put all the wishes into the mushroom?

I finished the gnome concstruction thing, the mushroom started sparkling, and I clicked on it... and donezo. No error windows...
Very uncommon. Did it showed you an error window? If so, what's was written on it? Or it just closed?
