The Girl Who Kicked a Rabbit

This game isn't just beautiful, it's fun to play! I am not a fan of turn base combat however, I felt like the puzzle aspects to the fights kept things interesting! These devs have fixed several issues really quickly, so I appreciate the dedication they have for this game! This is truly a labour of love and I loved it!

Nice retro graphics. Catchy BGM. Cute MC design AND voice. Fun puzzle fights and gimmicks so far, the dialogues are also unexpectedly fun. 10/10 would recommend, should come back later to make a more detailed review.

Tiny game about a rude girl on a journey to single-handedly put an end to Australia's most destructive invasive species. The turn-based gameplay is very unique where your offensive and defensive options are also ingredients that can be combined for stronger effects or unlocking access to extra abilities, beating encounters is about meeting specific criteria and not simply wiping every enemy and sometimes you'll have to slowly build up your strength or even let some rabbits stick around for a while making combat feels a lot like a puzzle. The intro definitely could have been more thorough about explaining some of the mechanics but there's no penalties or any time waster to retry encounters so it didn't become annoying while I was still figuring stuff out. Visually it's alright, I wish the game had more enemies both for gameplay variety and to see more of those sprites. it's okay/10

It's pretty janky, but core gameplay is decent. The concept of jRPG battler/puzzle game is pretty interesting, however it has some issues. Since order of enemies and alchemy elements is random you'll sometimes have near unwinnable battle, sometimes you will be showered with resources and sometimes you will just sit and tank there for dozens of minutes waiting for proper element to spawn. Gameplay is fun but it doesn't feel very balanced. Writing is pretty good, I didn't care much about the background story, but Lumi's journey and her lines got a few chuckles out of me. Music is good, didn't get tiresome even after a while, but the bossfight theme could use better audio balancing as it's way too loud compared to other songs. As mentioned at the beginning there is some weird jank. Backing out of menu doesn't return you to the game, you have to go back to menu and press continue. Skip turn button requires you to press that button twice rather than skip -> confirm which takes a while to get used to. Once I had game hardlock on me which resulted with loss of progress afterwards which was pretty annoying considering it happened right after one of the bossfights. There are some other minor complaints but nothing gamebreaking, just some healthy dose of jank. Overall - feels like it could be a pretty good combat system for a bigger game. As it is it's about 4 hours of decent fun without much incentive to replay it. I got it for free so I can't complain but ultimately it's up to you if 4-5 hours of puzzle/tactical jRPG battles and some pretty funny lines is worth this game's asking price.

A simple turn based "card" game thats one sprite change away from being a touhou game. ]Story You play as a not shrine maiden who patrols her city exterminating invading monsters and closing their portals. ]Gameplay Every turn you get 3 of a specific "card" and killing monsters gives you a random card determined when the monster spawns in. You then use these cards to unlock abilities, power said abilities or create an item. Then just do whatever the current goal is to complete the level. ]Time Unless I missed something a full playthrough took me just over four hours. ]Verdict A nice little 15$ game that was fun and didnt overstay its welcome.

An interesting and fun puzzle game, doing something different with the turn based combat formula. I'm usually fairly allergic to the genre as a whole, but by using it as the vehicle for a puzzle game, the dev has actually managed to make it work. You are given a series of challenges, and you need to come up with the correct attacks and moves to do to accomplish the goal, which I find more fun than the usual kill em all gameplay of turn based battle games. That said there are still a fair number of flaws to the game, and sometimes it feels like you got lucky instead of coming up with the exact correct solution to the puzzle, but I'm not quite sure what could be done about that. The tutorial is also not as extensive as I feel the game needs, although it comes with a manual (which for some reason isn't in the manual section of the game page?) which I feel is required reading for the puzzles to be fun.

I've not played too much yet, but the core gameplay feels solid once you get the hang of it. The graphics are cute, and overall it's reasonably fun. I like the main character. She's fun and doesn't beat around the bush. The only thing she's beating (and kicking) are rabbits, as she should be.
