Submission for the Unofficial PhaseJam #3: Padoru Padoruuu! This is my very first video game I ever finished creating, and with RPGMaker MV.

GAMEPLAY INFO
The gameplay is more of interactive visual novel with two simple "puzzles." To avoid confusion, this is a hybrid overhead/sidescroller. Much like Zelda II, the world map is fully overhead, while the levels themselves are side scrolling.  You would only need to 'look up' to interact with certain objects on screen.

This game is a teaser that acts as a prequel/prologue to a much larger project I have been creating. You could beat this thing in 15 minutes.

CONTROLS
Z/SPACE = Action Button
ESC/X = Cancel, Close, Open Menu

Other character assets were made with MV's character generator by me. (It's a pretty damn good character creator!)

P.S.
I am a fan of these 3 Vtubers, and Airi is the reason I became a fan of Phase Connect. Since last year, I've always wanted to create some kind of tribute to her (soon Pippa and Jelly as well), and low and behold I discovered the game jam back in summer 2023.  After lending my voice for Total Phase Rebellion as the Pippa soldiers, I decided to start making a larger game myself. And once finals were over, and another impromptu game jam was happening, I figured it'd be a great idea to do a little prologue. And here it is!

Thank you so much Airi, Pippa & Jelly for inspiring me to create two games that involve you all. If you're reading this, thanks for playing my little game!
