That was beautiful.
Thank you.

Now let me buy the crabbing music!!!

One of those game I'm sure I'll remember for the rest of my life, and occasionally replay. Banger soundtrack, too.

Like the King, my tears fail to protect me as well.

This game is great! I understand some people have been getting frequent crashes, but it sounds like those have been fixed, probably? I've only had one crash, and the autosave had my back, so it wasn't too much of an issue.

As for the game itself, it's definitely a Pokemon 'clone,' but it has a lot of great ideas that make it more fun than Pokemon, in my opinion. Really, it's biggest weakness compared to Pokemon is there's only 100 or so monsters. But in all other aspects, I'd say it's superior. The combat is more engaging, the pixel art looks better, there's a ton of QoL adjustments that smoothen the experience, the music... is pretty great, though Pokemon had some great tunes, too.

All in all, if you're a fan of Pokemon's gameplay, and want to see real improvements for it, you should play Coromon.

Osteoblasts is pretty different from your typical 2D RPG. It's sort of a 'what if Dark Souls, but 2D RPG.' I know that's a pretty cliche way to describe a game, but I feel it fits here. You've just got the one party member, that you choose it's class, which determine's it's base stats and equipment. You explore, the area, fighting enemies, and if you die, you respawn back at camp with little punishment. Your character's build is very flexible, with a variety of equipment to adjust your strategy.

On top of that, it's got some nice jams, as is typical of Moonana games.

Very solid NES style JRPG, with more strategic depth than many of the classics. Most enemies (I think it might be all) are weak to a certain weapon type, but most characters can only equip a few of the weapon types. There's a also a slew of very useful status effects when brute force isn't working.
And to round it out, the writing here is pretty good. It's not going to win any awards, but important characters are fleshed out enough to be interesting, and some of the dialogue is genuinely funny. The random NPCs are plentiful and build the world quite well, but don't waste your time with pointless dialogue.

So yeah. I think this game is pretty great. If Ephiam makes another game sometime down the road, I'm interested.

Ugh, This game looked so fun. And when it got a good sale, I was pretty excited to get it. But my excitement deflated pretty quickly.

The core idea here is interesting, but it's not handled well. Very simple puzzles are ruined by the chaos of the physics engine. I had to do puzzles several times, in the tutorial section no less, because objects didn't fall right. I loathe to think of how frustrating the future puzzles would be.

It's surprising how much the characters talk, and yet how little they actually say. The music was... passable, I suppose. And, the art is nice. That's about the one thing they got right. If they got a better writer, this would be a cool anime, maybe. Pretty boring game, though.

This isn't so much a game as it is a story that you slowly dig up as you talk to each character with each character. It was frustrating when I didn't know what to do, but for every moment when I had a lead, I was hooked. The story is joy to unravel, since the game rewards you for searching for clues. There's a lot here that you could miss, and still finish the game. I'm sure there's a lot I missed, and I'm pretty sure I got the "good" ending. For ten bucks, it's definitely worth playing, though you may want to wait till there are decent guides for when you get stuck.

-Recruited a jester that had a "love interest" at the Brothel
-After one stay, the jester was banned for having "Deviant Interests"
-He was immediately sent to the mental hospital, which cured his "love interest"

10/10 Would cure love to march soldiers to their death again.

I don't know what's wrong, but I've only been able to play about 20 minutes of this game, before it crashed on me. I reloaded the game again, and it crashed on me again, this time with a window popping up saying something about an asertion failing. I'm not an expert at programming, but I know enough to know that something is seriously wrong if this is a finished product. I only payed 5 bucks for this, so I'm not too mad about this, I'm just surprised it's gotten as many good reviews as it has. I don't know, maybe my computer isn't "strong" enough, or something... but I am able to play games like Skyrim, so this game shouldn't be that difficult... Anyways, I can't recommend this game if it's going to work like this.
