Embark on a new adventure on every playthrough. Find equipment, meet all sorts of NPCs and of course battle your way through a short 10 chapter randomised story!

Select a random character from a huge roster of characters all with unique starting stats, get a random set of equipment, ability and items and head out with your random friend. Who will you meet along the way and how will you best the various fights?

Build all sorts of character builds by stacking equipment to complement unique playstyles. There are many NPC events that can occur and many of the NPCs will revisit you with either vengeance or support. Learn the various characters weaknesses to magic to do better on each run. Or if you're having trouble, throw on some cheats!

A full run of this game can span between 4-10 minutes depending on how your luck rolls, with as much variation per run as I could handle to throw into it during the dev time. Its built for casual play in mind, but should offer a surprise each time. The more you learn the easier it gets too.

Web Controls:

Note: this a Gameboy Advance rom, so to play just download and throw it into your favourite GBA emulator(e.g mGBA).  This is an entry into the GBAJam24 event. If you're curious how to make a game like this, check out Butano engine which I used to make life easier on this project. Web version is running in a modified version of GBA.ninja (https://gba.ninja/) by Simon Paris which is based on VBA-M (https://vba-m.com/) by Forgotten and the VBA/VBA-M development teams.

Enjoy! If you beat the game, let me know in the comments what character and build you were rocking :D
