Patchy's Magical Maze
A downloadable game for Windows
Alice has managed to retrieve one of Patchouli's most valuable books from Marisa, the library's least popular regular guest. However, when she tries to return it, Patchouli simply doesn't want to see her. To make things worse (or just weirder), the great library has been converted into a maze filled with a gauntlet of dastardly foes! What is Patchy's deal? Could she be jealous? But of who?
A seamless blend of first person dungeon crawling with fast-paced action RPG combat, explore the magical maze as Alice while fighting off foes as her doll, Shanghai.
NOTE: This game is still incomplete! As a game jam project, it's pretty low on the priority list, but I would like to finish it at some point.

Hope this game gets finished from how much i've played its amazinggg
The fact this was made in a 2D engine blow my mind
Worth finishing imo. It looks great.
love this game, i hope you finish it!
Game so beautiful I can't "not" download.
ok, this is an fantastic action game. I adore the art style...It's so cute. Thank you so much for adding difficulty options. I add a ton more fun on hard. If it was a puzzle game: yeah that's going on easy lol. I'm not going to lie ☺ lol. I'm not good at those & that's ok. So thank you again for adding options. I love the story as will. Everything will smooth & played fast. But i would like more options in the option area. Like controlling sound, graphic settings, & so on. But even without all that...It was a blast
After playing this I will now forfeit all of my possessions to Shanghai. Can't wait for this game to be finished
Still fun I truly hope it gets fully done 10/10 would pay.
Amazing game, feels great to play.
One of the few game jam projects I actually decided to play through multiple times. I really like everything going on in this one. Really cute graphics, really fun tunes, and the shmovement is really enjoyable to play with.
Great job, y'all! c:
cant wait for this to be fully released
This is a fun game and I think the on the spot arena selection may be my choice for a game I wanted to make. Awesome stuff.
Extremely fun game, great job
i rly love this game. cant wait for it to be finished.
im diligently advertising/recommending this game to ppl.
got quite a few ppl interested in the game as well who wanna see it when its done.
My main project has been taking away a lot of the time I'd like to be able to spend finishing this one, so it may take a while, but I'll do my best!
What's the main project, I would love to check it out
Slay the Dark Evil Queen; there's a demo available for it but it's quite outdated by this point
When do you estimate its release date
Hard to say, my estimates always end up being way off. Really would like to have it done this year, though
This was such a joy to playthrough. Absolutely loved the engine and gameplay physics, and best of all got to play as Shanghai! Extremely satisfying combat that does the feeling of 'hitstun' right and the impact of each blow following up. I played on Fighter because this looked like a game I wanted to get the absolute most out of and I definitely did. I would pay for a full game. Good luck in the rest of your game development endeavors, and thank you for such a magnificent experience. Such originality.
Of the stuff I've worked on, this style of slash-n-dash action RPG combat might be my favorite, so I'll definitely return to it again with a full commercial-size project someday. I'll probably do more with the first-person dungeon crawl side of things someday too, though with an entirely separate project, haha
This is so cool!!!! You're killing it as always
I beat the demo. I didn’t have any bugs but I think some kind of bar or indicator to show how many hits it’ll take for an enemy to stagger would be pretty nice!
Other than that, and maybe some treasures on the map… great game!
I would've loved to be able to include items and stuff but there was no way I was squeezing that in before the jam deadline, and unfortunately it might be too late to go back and try to fit them in now.
Stagger bars would make sense, I'll try to think about how I could go about doing that
I'm experiencing a bug where the character gets stuck in an attack animation and can't get out of it until an enemy hits them and forces knockback. I'll post a video link in the bug report.
