Bardolf's Revenge

A Game-Boy-style hybrid of Mega Man Battle Network and Final Fantasy Legend II.

Created for Game Boy Jam 6 in a bit over a week. The original deadline version (0.0.1) is also here for posterity, but it's a buggy unplayable mess, so I'd prefer you play 0.0.2. If you're curious what changed, there's an included changelog.md. 90% of the extra work was fixing bugs.

A sequel to the text adventure Bardolf's Curse.

KNOWN ISSUES

Had an extra two days for bugfixes, but still ran out of time! Here's what's left (that I know of):

• In the overworld, wait for movement to finish before opening the menu - otherwise a battle might start and all Hell breaks loose!
• Don't press SELECT at the victory screen! Bad things happen :(
• Claim card is super buggy - if it works, you're lucky!
• On occasion, iframes can be sketchy especially if you mash
• The damage noise is awful and if it plays enough it'll stop, like it knows that it's annoying
• The knights aren't supposed to get into the same cell but sometimes they defy all logic and do anyway
• Linux and Mac OSX versions are untested, but should work fine. *crosses fingers*
