Cricket JRPG Monthly Update: April 2024 Edition!

How have you been? How are your family and friends? How's the thing you've been working on? Have you finally looked into that other thing?

This month, we had a thought to go over one of the core, yet unique battle mechanics of Cricket: Jae's Really Peculiar Game: The Tide Meter!

[h2]What is the Tide Meter?[/h2]

As you fight, and land your hit timings, you will gain Tide Meter, which can be used to:

• Boost your attacks
  
• Enable team attacks
  
• Slow down time and make blocking / parrying enemy attacks easier
  

Boosted attacks do more damage, make status effects last longer, and make status effects more likely to take effect!

You will wanna utilize Tide Meter to make battling in Cricket far easier, it's rough going out there! It can really get you out of a bind or force the enemy into skipping turns, and the like! Be careful though, enemies can use Tide Meter too!

If you NEED to use meter now, you can overspend on your turn, but be careful, that gives the enemy FREE METER!



We look forward to releasing the game to you all on 8/15, and to seeing your thoughts on the Tide Meter!
