Hi, I'm John, and I make games, music and art!  I have two games, the first is called Universal Wars and is a JRPG-styled game with battles, story, and lots of humor.  It takes about six hours to complete.

If you want a shorter game, I also have a demo of a platformer game that only features Kanji characters.  It only takes about a minute to finish, maybe longer depending on how skilled you are with jumping over the death characters.

If I could I will do both of them... each game in one video but it will take time before I reach your turn sir

Great, thanks!

Here you will find my review with the gameplay video as well, hope this review and ideas that I am going to provide next will be great help for you if you want to work on this game… if you did updated this game, feel free to contact me so I will do a follow up video for it, I do need support though, so anyone who is seeing my reviews do subscribe to my YouTube channel, it will help me keep going.


  • As a starter, I noticed that there is no main menu and if you are going to work on this game, you might want to add one.
  • The game have no soundtracks or background music or even sound effects, which makes the game feel weird (at least sound effects of jumping)
  • I know you already explained your game in the page, but you should add that as well inside the game itself, it helps out to grasp and understand the basics.
  • Maybe in the future you add more platforms and levels. And it can be fun to introduce more concepts like Kanji with a learning/teaching purpose. Overall, I enjoyed the obstacles being made even it is extremely short game, and good luck in making more games.

The other gameplay video is ready as well, will upload it soon too 

Hey there JCO, here you will find your gameplay with the review as well, played as long as I could and checked all that could be checked, and therefore I get some to say… But first, I really do need support to keep doing these reviews, so subscribe to my YouTube channel to keep me motivated.


  • First thing that grabbed my attention to your game is that it is being loaded on window screen; it will really help and be better to run the game in full screen resolution.
  • I do like the fact that the player can name the characters of the game that we start with, and even some towns and places, that was a really cool feature.
  • Another thing I want to mention for the combat system is the lack of the enemies health bar, I already talked about this in the video, it is only fair to add enemy health bars so the players have an idea when the combat will be finished (especially for the boss fights).
  • Fighting the Chubby Bull at the very first 5 minute of the video, you will notice that my third character health went to zero which means she died, but I was able to play with that character normally after the battle ended, is there any impact upon characters dying during battles?! Also check minute 10:21 you will see that the health is at 0% but I could move her.
  • Around minute 08:37 I talked in the video about the road and the grass next to it, I had the idea to make characters travel only on the road instead of making it open to all terrain. (my expectations were like that when I first saw the road)
  • I liked the sound effects used in the game, even when you exist the main menu there is sound effects for that, the battles, the music in the back, all the sounds are greatly being used here, truly like it when there is a focus on the sound trucks, most devs ignore that. So well done there JCO.
  • The most great interesting part about the entire game is the story, which greatly being introduced and makes the player wants to know more and see what is causing the mad cows and the source of all of this, the story is really well done here, LOVE IT.
  • The most annoying part of the game is that battles keeps according too fast too much, it was really annoying when looking for Moolar inside the barn for example (starting from minute 20 I think) and then it started to happen a lot when travelling the Lake Path from minute 39 to 47 in the video (seriously it was annoying, you might want to reduce the frequency of the occurring battles) it made exhausted L

Overall, I truly liked the story, I can see that you put efforts into this game, especially when I arrived to the pirates part, it was so fun… I might do more videos or this might be it until you make changes or updates where I will be glad to cover them up. All together, I wish you all the best in making more games and well done with this one.
