Save Often! This is an early release, so there may be crashes or soft locks. Balance and features may be subject to change in the final release.

Features

  • Turn based, side-view battle system reminiscent of classic RPGs

  • 5 zany character classes to choose from, ranging from a chef who can cook enemies, to the Codwalloper who throws fish to attack

  • A fishing system. Fish for consumables, or use a Codwalloper to throw fish for damage!

  • Dojos, which are battle gauntlets that yield a rare accessory upon victory

  • Light puzzles/dungeon mechanics, such as arrow tiles that move you in a direction

  • Fun, off the wall dialogue from various NPCs... and a nonsensical plot with terrible food puns and snail references!

Notes

  • Controllers should be supported, but some parts such as button mapping have not been thoroughly tested yet

  • There will be random field events in the full release, which are unique pieces of dialogue that may give rewards. This was cut for time reasons.
