What do you think?

THIS GAME ROCKS MY PANTS OFF

the style of some of the characters reminds me of earthbound. i love it.

Muffet is that you? All jokes aside i love this game💜

This game is amazing, is really fun and I love the fighting system. And it seems like it's Inspired in Earthbound and that's always great!

THIS GAME IS GOALS, must keep following!

WHAT IS CRYSTAL STORY: AWAKENING?

Crystal Story: Awakening is an Action-RPG that blends charming retro-style graphics with fast-paced action, heavily inspired by 16-bit classics!

WHEN WILL THE FULL GAME BE RELEASED?

I'm taking it easy with the project right now, starting things off with
the Crystal Story: Awakening – PREVIEW VERSION. I basically took a whole year to create this game in my spare time and as such, this version is basically a polished prototype demo that should give you a decent understanding on how the full game will "feel" like. The Preview Version will be constantly updating to keep it fresh and more stable. I have no exact release date on for the full game since Crystal Story is in its early stages, but I would like to have it finished a couple of years from now, if I can!

IMPORTANT NOTES

The PREVIEW VERSION is short! Since is my first ever game, it's highly likely you'll run into a few bugs/hiccups here and there. Please report any bugs/issues you find and I will do my best to resolve them!

CONTROLS (Keyboard)

ARROW KEYS - Movement (you can even do diagonal movement by holding Up + Left, Down + Right, etc.)

SHIFT (Hold while moving) - Run

"I" Key - Open Menu

For players using a QWERTZ keyboard layout, you can substitute the "Z" key with the "Y" key.

CONTROLS (Controller)

**Please read the included Read Me file for additional information!**

**Also, this game has some moving and flashing colors and imagery.**

Ability switching and item switching have been fully implemented and polished up! ;D A big shoutout to my composer tetrix450 on Twitter for making some slick sounds for the ability switching! I had a lot of fun testing it out! ;D

Howdy, guys! For this @screenshotsaturday, I added on-the-fly ability switching! ;D. It's a little rough at the moment, but I'm happy with how it's turning out! ;D

I took my time with this update, but I am happy to report that the new sprites for Mina are all done! I recorded myself fiddling around in the first part of the game to make sure everything worked! ;D
