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.**

WHERE CAN I STAY IN THE LOOP?

I hope everyone is doing well during these crazy times. I had some free time today, so I started working on a new feature! These hidden platforms will only appear for a short while after being hit with a fireball ;D.

Here's something else I have cooking up! ;D
In the full game, Mina will be able to pick up weapons laying around and use them to defeat enemies. She can also melt them down and turn them into "Pyropes" to get across gaps! ;D
