Description
This is part of an art trade with'So there I was, I almost reached the second boss of the game, my characters were all ready, I was just a few steps away from the door...
But then suddenly, a random encounter.
I sighed "Just a minor inconvenience, I'll just defeat theses monsters and move on" I uttered.
One of the enemies was a plant, a creature emitting some sort of gas.
I picked my moves and waited for my party to wipe them out.
*HELIVORE went first!*
"Really?" I yelled.
*HELIVORE used Gas!*
*Your party felt bloated...*
*Orange lunged... but he was being clumsy and missed!*
*Naby went for the face... but to no anvil!*
*Fia used Flamethrower... but apparently fire can miss!*
*Your party felt a overwhelming puffy feeling!*
"Bloated? That doesn't sound good."
I decided to run from the battle as I had no idea what was about to happen with this 'bloated' condition that the game mentioned.
*Got away safety!*
When I got to the overworld however, I was greeted with three sphere sprites, all of which were slightly bobbing up and down.
"W-What happened?"
Just to make sure my game wasn't having a glitch I paused and took a look at my characters status...
"Oh... that's what they meant by bloated."
All three of my party members appeared to have become balloons, suspended in mid air and unable to fight, I could still move in the overworld, but fighting was completely out of the question.
The only way to cure this ailment is De-puffs... to which I had none of.
Understandably I was a bit distressed.
"*Sigh* Now I have to do this dungeon. All. Over. Again!"
This week or two is going to be sprite heavy as I have a sudden urge to draw sprites.
And yes, I've pretty much given up with the excuse 'I didn't intentionally take inspiration from Earthbound' because apparently I copy it so well without knowing... You know I've never even played Earthbound. *Braces self with a bin lid for incoming rocks*
I'm sorry, I don't have a Wii U! T-T

'In the center of this large room was a plant that resembled a Rafflesia in appearance, a foul smelling plant without the bad smell.
It was embedded in the ground as the roots surrounding it dug through the stone flooring, it also appeared to be inactive, perhaps it was still asleep.'

Don't worry, you aren't missing much without playing Earthbound. It's not good.

Fair enough, that's your opinion.
For me though it does seem like a fun game from what I've seen of it.

ANOTHER excellent animated picture!! This looks REALLY excellent! i'm simply loving this x3
Honestly, if I could be one of those characters, I'd love to xD it's probably what I would have commissioned from you if you were open for commissions when I had found your other pixel art! haha xD
I wonder what would happen if someone were to feel the full effects of the bloated status effect? Like, what would have happened if it got worse than it was for them already?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm...
They're already unable to move, so maybe in the later effects of bloating they reflect attacks except for the ones which have a pierce or sharp ability to them which would make the bloated/inflated pop and thus render them fainted.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
O.O yikes!!! D: wouldn't wanna get popped if I could avoid it!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So the lesson we can take from this is always bring healing items for situations like this.
No one wants to be caught bloated in a boss fight without De-puffs.

Why is everyone coming into this dungeon?
There isn't even much treasure here, just weird helium plant things.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know....i mean, it looks fun, but there's gotta be something valuable in there, whether it's pollen from those plants, or a route to another area...
...I wonder if I could harvest and sell the pollen of those plants?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Assuming you don't accidentally breath in the pollen I guess you could try.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
even if I do breathe in the pollen, I have to try!!! for Science!!
