This looks interesting. I think I've only ever commented other games once or twice but this deserves it. I'm not interested in the plot or the anime style so I won't play it but the art is solid. I mean, effort was put into it and I appreciate that. Keep at it!

Yeah, I understand it's not for everybody, so no worries. Some people might have a harder time looking past the art style since it's very apparent, but I respect people's preferences. I personally just really like cute things lol. Thank you for the compliment anyways! We'll do our best!

All right, got to comment on this.

I really like the flow of the battles. I was afraid that it would end up like "spam your basic attack all day, throw one or two skills in the mix for boss battle" and that's more or less what I got up until Froxeter Forest, though the appealing and quirky story and cast made it worth it. But once you reach that forest and try your hands on the end-game content, things change for the better.

The real gem here is the team-wide heart meter and the fact that heart skills have different costs. Typically, I'll want to start a tough battle by casting a Core skill with Eve, then blast a 100 heart skill on the ennemy while I'm abusing the tempo core-powered skills, and unleash the Showstopper before the 5 turn core-buff stop. This forces me to plan my moves several turns ahead and try to predict what the situation will be then. It keeps you on your toes and the toughest battles are never boring since you have to rethink your strategy on the fly.

Another thing I really dig is that every skill is useful. Even if some are more situational than other, I can look at a random skill and say "Yeah, I would want to have that in case X happens". It's a good change from way too many RPGs I know with hundreds of skills except that 95% of them are crap that I'll never ever use. I saw people pointing Major Static. Yeah, that skill is crazy, it can destroy entire fights. On the other hand, given it's crappy damages and randomness on group of ennemies, I wouldn't touch it with a stick if it had something like 10% chance to apply shock. If you want to nerf it, consider either upgradring it's MP cost (at 5MP, there's litteraly no reason to not try and tax the monster action economy every turn) or pulling a pokémon (shock still last multiple turns, but unlike stun, it only has a ~40% chance of preventing the opponent from acting on its turn).

Quick question to the devs and fellow demo players, I got all the trial tickets except for the fishing quest one. I assume you have to fish it in Froxeter Forest, but do you have to fish in a specific spot or is this a low % for every catch in the area ? I have 10 phat fish, 8 crawmom and still 0 special fish.

Ooh, good idea on having Major Static cost more MP. We were just thinking of toning down the chances, but we might do a mix of both without having the chance to shock too low. But yeah, really glad you enjoyed the game!

There are three types of fish in each area. The ticket you're missing requires the Sawaygin which can be found in Froxeter Forest (and another place later in the game). It just has a lower percentage of appearing compared to other fish.

I'll have it state the "three fish in each area" rule somewhere in-game to avoid confusion.

Thanks, dudes!

We just posted a bug fix too, for those who downloaded the previous version. You just have to place the "game" folder into HEARTBEAT's root folder.

The current main download is, however, up to date now!

I really like the style! Definitely will give it a play, I've been playing games like Paper Mario and Chocobo's Dungeon. So this should be a lot of fun.

Thank you for the comment! We took a few inspirations from Paper Mario so we hope you'll like it!

The demo should be out later today :)
