Nice one. Always glad to see innovative games.

Graphics look pretty darn cheesy, though it looks entertaining. Nice one.

CHEESY?! *heart attack*

just kidding, thanks for the comments guys. And download the demo!

Wow, a platformer. Is it smooth? I'll have to download this- big platform fan (although lately I've begun trying to learn MMF2 since it's better suited for the genre- look into it).

The graphics can definitely be improved, but I'll have to check out how it plays before anything else.

Also not a fan of the name- really makes this sound like another RPG when it seems to be a lot more.

Okay, man, I tested it out. Unfortunately I can't say anything very positive about it. Very clever use of the RMXP engine, but ultimately it just doesn't cut it.

The tile-based movement is still VERY evident, and it really prevents any illusion of smoothness- which is pretty much required in platformer physics. Sometimes this "tileishness" made directional jumping furstrating. Additionally, you can jump during cutscenes.

I don't want you to drop the project- I love platformers. I'd suggest looking into alternate programs to develop with: for example, Multimedia Fusion.
