good game. controls were good, graphics are mostly clear and convey purpose well. gameplay and story so far are also good.
suggest adding a first find info on items (had no idea what the carrot stick did and used it at full health, also wasted a few uses of pen caps and rubber bands )
interested in the lore more as well.
if you can resolve the audio issue for firefox that would be awesome. only question I have is what was/is the 3rd secret medal?
I'm on an intel cpu and nvidia graphics card for reference and had the issue, although that could also have been issues with loading it?

Hmm weird. I really don’t know what to do, it feels more like a problem on Phaser’s part. I think all I can do now is tell people not to use Firefox, I’ve not been able to replicate this myself.
You may have missed the cheese sandwich in the fridge...
Great feedback! Especially with the first find idea. Thanks for your review!
Edit: It now gives the player a description of the item when they first get it :D
Love this one, gotta check the big game too. Controls are a bit clumsy and sometimes the character refuses to move diagonally, but it's not that much of a problem. So... keep it up
BigBossErndog responds:
Thank you! :D
Currently trying to work out a new control scheme, I hope you'll look forward to it!
This is a pretty cool game. Reminds me very much of games like Azure Dreams and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon in terms of game play. The only real criticisms I have would be the walking movement versus the running movement. Running feels very fluid and easy to control where as walking requires you told hold the button for a full second before movement takes place. It just feels kinda clunky.
The other thing is the Firefox thing. I know you address it in both the game and description but I feel like that's kinda dismissive. The player shouldn't be required to download another browser just to play the game without issues. If you know something is wrong you should be looking into it to try and fix it if possible ya know?
Either way, neat game.

Hi,
Thanks so much!
That little delay before walking is meant to make walking diagonally easier (since it's near impossible to press both keys at the same time). I originally didn't have that delay and people were telling me it was impossible to properly walk diagonally by one step, which often lead to them walking the wrong way and getting attacked. I'm thinking of making it so the player can use the settings to adjust that delay or remove it entirely for the next episode.
That delay should only be like 12 frames and not a whole second, so perhaps this is something I should look into.
EDIT: I've just updated the game with a new walking system. This allows me to reduce the delay while making it very easy to walk diagonally. Would you like to try it out?)
I know about the Firefox issue, I've tried my best and I've had my hand at looking for help in the Phaser forums. I can't replicate this behavior myself, it works just fine on Firefox using my laptop, so I've only added those warnings based on the reports of other people playing the game on Firefox.
It's not my own framework the game is running on, so I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, which makes things extremely difficult for me to fix. All I can do is leave it to the developer of the Phaser framework. I'm really sorry :(
I'll also be making offline version of the game available. People have said none of these issues happen in the offline version.
Again, thanks for your review! :D
Awesome game. I just have an issue with the controls.
Controls could be mapped out a bit, maybe incorporate the mouse with selection. Otherwise great game and great music.
