POKÉMON MOBIUS
by @Marin & @Maruno

You have set off to explore the Marro region in your quest to become the greatest of Pokémon trainers. However, you've stumbled across a big problem: paths no longer lead where they should, places are in the wrong places, and there's no way out! Will your journey come to an untimely end, trapped in this unnatural maze? Will you be able to find out what's going on, and more to the point, will you be able to stop it? Prepare to search high and low, far and wide for answers to these questions and more.​

Plot

Spoiler: Contains plot spoilers

The player has defeated the first two Gym Leaders in the Marro region, and has just reached Dewbury Town to challenge the third Gym Leader. Upon defeating Gym Leader Stark, the player travels through Route 6 to Tarrin Town. However, upon arrival, the player is greeted by inhabitants of Tarrin Town who claim Route 6 has undergone a inexplicable change. Upon backtracking through Route 6, the player finds it leads to Arubar Town instead of Dewbury Town! Routes are looping around somehow, with no apparent explanation.

The player meets a researcher next to some strange type of fracture in space-time. It's supposedly the work of a Legendary Pokémon, but nobody knows why or how. It turns out that there are more of these cracks spread across the looping area, in all sorts of environments. Not only that, but people are also finding strange mysterious shards here and there that appear to be related to the fractures. Each shard corresponds with a crack, and inserting the right shard in the right crack will make it disappear! To find out what the consequences are of repairing these fractures, you'll have to play Pokémon Mobius yourself!

Heya Marin-

So as you saw I played thru roughly an hour of the jam game and I just wanted to leave my first impressions/review as a way of trying out to be a judge for the next jam to have it written down somewhere!

The mapping was great, the scenario was also great. I absolutely loved how we were starting a game mid-adventure, having to sort of piece together what we had just done within this region. Having a little intro town to do "regular pokemon" things before the twist occurred was pretty fun, and despite the challenge the gym gave me It was a nice way to ease players into the game.

Wild pokemon levels adapting to your level since you spend the entire jam game in one area is a nice idea, but in the version I played, as you know, being set too high gave me a bit of trouble which distracted from the story a bit. Same about Zombie Pokemon, which was also of course unintended.

I'm excited enough by the story to keep going, and I can't wait to see what the explanation for the rift ends up being!

Updated the download link to get rid of the unused (duplicate) 90 MB of audio I'd accidentally forgotten to remove from v1.0.1.

To guide you while exploring, in case you're not willing to explore everything or you've simply missed everything, I've written down 9 locations of importance that you should visit during your adventure.

Spoiler: Cut

Cut can be obtained by buying Lemonade in the Celentine City's Poké Mart and giving it to the Cut Master in Tarrin Town.

Spoiler: Shards

One shard can be found in the north-west of Lake Aguaro behind a Cut tree.

One shard can be found in the wild by battling against a roaming Palkia.

One shard can be found in Route 10 behind a Cut tree.

One shard can be obtained by trading a male Kirlia to the Juggler NPC in Arubar Town.

Spoiler: Cracks

One crack can be found down Route 22 out in the open.

One crack can be found in the big two-door building in the center of Celentine City, once you've obtained the Key Card from another NPC in Celentine City.

One crack can be found in the Grannat Depths.

One crack can be found at the summit of Mt. Grannat.

Another word of advice: don't train just one Pokémon. That's a bad way to play any game, and will ruin balancing in this particular game.

This tileset is beautiful. Where did you get it from, did you create it yourself?

The majority of the tiles were ripped from Diamond & Pearl, but there are also some recolored tiles from public assets.
