The entire game makes me feel very nostalgic for when I was a kid having dumb adventures in the forest with my friends.
played this when i was a kid and loved it. it’s one that’s stuck with me for years, very charming graphics with a lighthearted story. the battles got pretty hard due to the controls especially as the platforming got more complicated (i was also playing on keyboard). while not be the greatest rpg of all time if you’re looking for a challenge and short charming story i’d definitely try it out
In a way it's a pretty cool game, it's got a strong old-school JRPG and homemade vibe but they're also why this game isn't that good. Overall I'd say that the game would have gained a lot from being more modern especially on the interface side of things, but it plays like a SNES/PS1 game even though it came out in 2009.
The gameplay is fine honestly. It's very difficult and the controls are somewhat clunky but you can do a lot and it was relatively fun. Being able to control multiple characters in an action plateformer is something I've seen in no other game and that's amazing!
However the level design really leaves to be desired and it's mostly mindless dungeon grinding in maze-like repetitive areas. The story is also very slow and while it's funny and cute, the lack of any sort of accomplishment somewhat bored me. I've enjoyed slice of life games like Trails in the sky so maybe this one is just too childish for me. It's similar to a magical girl anime.

Cute and cool story, but terrible gameplay.
The dark souls of little girl games.
