Inspired by games like Final Fantasy, Paper Mario, Pokemon, Kingdom Hearts, Super Mario RPG, Dungeons and Dragons, and more!

The fact that the loading bar staggers a bit like in a real videogame. Insane attention to detail. I love it.

[SubparO]

"I didn't love your father and I don't love you" followed by Karo just mouthing "Whaaat" is great lol

[SakhotGamer]

A TerminalMontage animation where he has to respect no logic imposed by any franchise and can release all the chaos he wants because it will still make sense within the context of his own creation!? This is gonna be a wild ride

[weselmer]

The design of Hour clock woods is so beautiful. Even the layout of the environment makes it a clear love letter to early level rpg forests with the winding yet rectangular paths, it’s adorable

[Wobbmin]

"The moon stood up and the stars were its cape" is one of the rawest lines I have ever heard

[SpareChaos]

Having your weapon be an instrument that changes at the roll of a dice is probably the coolest idea ever

[GarrettTheCarrot]

I never had a favorite show until now, THIS IS PHENOMENAL IN EVERY WAY

[GingerPale]

This is really refreshing :) great job on this!!

[level]

Having a little blue fella with a telekinesis staff and a carrot man with music powers determined by dice rolls fight a giant dog made of lighting in a floating grandma’s cottage is the kind of out-there stuff you can only get in animation and I love it.

Thanks for all the hard work man.

[pythox]

I love how Karoto has apparently levelled up 26 times and each time he's just as confused about the random text appearing

[SrPelo]

That was so charming! I am so happy to finally see you make a cartoon!! I remember your character from long long ago and finally seen something original from you warms my heart!!!! hope you can keep making this cartoon

[SkellyHertz]

Terminal Montage's ability to rapidly shift tones between playful adventure, uncanny horror, and nail-biting action is incredible.

[Bageltheking]

Congratulations on finally getting Nabiu onto the big stage!

[softy]

The deadpan shoving of the cookie down the helmet visor was the perfect thing to seal the deal.
Can't wait for more

[caioc.c.b.]

I cannot express how much I fucking love the way the dialogue is expressed through timed text. The delay is not too long, but always gives plenty of time to read. But more importantly, it gives it a comic book feel, which is crazy, because it feels like I'm WATCHING a comic book. I dont if its a weird thing to fall in love with, but it definitely captured my attention insanely well, which is great. Good job, dude, I dont know how many people were involved in this, but every single one of them should be proud.

I'm loving the subtle sound design detail: The blips for speaking aren't just random, they closely follow the words being spoken down to the syllables! It's especially obvious when Wizzro and Nabiu talk about the chair's trigger word.

[McEwanMaster]

"The Moon stood up and the stars were its cape" has got to be one of the coolest phrases I've heard, paired with such awesome imagery!!

[cnkaiser]

Karoto hiding his stats was very funny as his biggest stat increase was in deceitfulness. Also Nabiu’s face when meeting him was adorable

[syahgisi]

I just gotta say, the creativity here is insane, I love how she flung up the tree and it ends up being useful. A lot of the time in cartoons, silly things happen just to be silly, and they have overall no effect on the plot or move the story forward. So I really liked that detail
