I've only played up to the robot boss so far, but holy crap this is impressive. The various graphics effects are very well done; you've clearly eked out the most of GameMaker's capabilities. I love the fake 3D robots, especially the boss. I'm assuming they were made via sprite stacking, so it's baffling that the boss is so well-animated. I shudder to imagine how long it took to make that. Speaking of the boss, it was really tough and I beat it with only one living character, no remaining 1-ups, and only 1 Huppy left. Phew!
The character's music-based abilities are pretty clever. I wasn't paying enough attention during the initial tutorial so it took me a few minutes to figure out how to sing the puzzle in the graveyard, but it was pretty satisfying once I did.
The character animations are so smooth! Same goes for the overall movement engine. Everything is just pretty to look at.
As a longtime Chrono Trigger fan, I love the CT vibe. Can't wait to see where the story goes.
My only gripe so far is that it can be tough so figure out where to go. I read some dialogue a bit too fast and didn't know where I needed to go, so I wandered around for a while and eventually found my way to the graveyard by fighting through the factory. But hey, classic SNES/Genesis games left players to figure things out too.
As a fellow gamemaker, you've made me reevaluate my own work. :P I didn't know until today that GameMaker can use gamepad rumble. I've gotta look into using that myself!
So yeah, overall, ridiculously impressive. I will continue playing as I have "time." Get it? *bah-dah-ting*
I beat the scorpion boss and the robot boss. I really had to push myself to get there too, because there's REALLY LOOSE directions for where to go.
My main problem is that the game is just a rush through enemies, just treat it like a speedrun, there is literally no point in fighting enemies unless you are locked in with them, which makes their existence kind of pointless.
I fricking love your games, I cant wait for my download to finish so I can play RBT
Wow, Nuke, your game is great!

Note: The main game is built with game controllers in mind, but you'll have to set up the controls first. If you want to play it in multiplayer, you will need one game controller.

A 2-player 2D action-RPG like the SNES games of old, especially Secret of Mana, Illusion of Gaia, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Enter the world of Trula, a world of magic, music, monsters, and modern fantasy. One rock star, Myles Taylor, becomes displaced in time and sent to a future that he thinks he caused. In this future world, he meets Susan Abernathy, a scavenging historian. Together, they will try to stop the demon that attacked Trula years ago.

Rock Beyond Time's expansion is now released.
This features one new side quest, many bug fixes, a price change for the buyable Stat Boosters (2000 Gil instead of 2500), and a little bonus for anyone who tries to beat the game without saving.
Good luck.
I was considering releasing the expansion today, but then I found a lot of bugs I should've spotted in the original build, and I made the minimap do extra stuff for said expansion.
Don't worry, it'll be out by tomorrow night.
About the upcoming expansion- coming this week, hopefully
The expansion is almost done.
I've just got to QA it in the context of the main game.
He's coming back.
...but just this once.
By the way, to anyone wondering about that one super-secret code in the end credits:
I goofed. That last letter's supposed to be a W, not a G.
Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here.
...in space for no apparent reason.
...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...
I get the feeling that I probably should do some translations for this game.
Of course, I don't know much of any other language, and currently, there are only fonts using the Roman alphabet.
So, what languages would you recommend? Brazilian Portuguese?
The next update may be full of bugs.
...moths, mostly.
To those of you who've played this thing:
Which is better in this game? Just asking.
