@Merlandese: That battle that gave you troubles was actually the start of the slippery slope that made every battle unique and reference-y, haha. Well, I suppose the final boss came first, but we were still going to have not referencing regular battles at that point. I do find it amusing that it seems that everyone has a different battle that gave them grief, though it's never the final one.
The frog is referencing who you think it is. We just don't remember why that name was picked.
Definitely glad we succeeded on the battle front, but the next step is definitely to apply it to a longer game.
And we're glad you enjoyed it.
@Reives: Oh hi there. Maki is fine. We're actually rooming together so it's even easier to work together! Too bad we're both responsible adults with fulltime jobs now, heh. EthD is still on the backburner while we use shorter projects to improve our skills. It is definitely getting close to the time to go back to it though. I kind of fiddle around with base systems about once a year or so.
@Ferdk: We definitely had a lot of fun picking songs. Having references picked out was both a blessing and a curse! (How do you pick a song for a cross between alcoholic beverages and urban mysteries?)
There was actually a slight oversight in the healing AI that made them very cockroachy when one party member was dead. It's not been fixed.
And thanks for playing!

As mentioned above, I've updated the download with a few minor tweaks and fixes. Nothing that really changes the game overall, but just things I noticed from watching people play and/or comments.
-Cleaned up the display of the enemy's HP/MP/BP
-Corrected an error that left the enemies with low starting BP; also gave Delila a minimum amount to start with if you finished the previous battle low
-Fixed a logical error in healing AI that made enemies that can heal particularly annoying after losing one ally
-Some slight adjustments to skill balances
-Tried to make the final battle a little harder since it's kind of annoying that due to lack of group synergy, it is not the hardest fight. Curse you lack of synergy for character reasons *shakes fist*
-Various minor typos
-Probably a few minor things that I've forgotten or aren't worth mentioning but they bugged me, so I fixed them
We'll give it another couple weeks and then we'll list off the numerous references in this game, most of which are probably too trivial and specific to be caught.
