Once Upon a Jester
Description
Best friends Sok & Jester devise a mischievous scheme to steal the Royal Diamond!
To complete their master plan, they must start an improv theatre show and outperform every other act - including their rivals, Hofnar & Bok. Only becoming the best show in the kingdom will get them invited to the Royal Theatrical Spectacle in the Royal Palace, where the king keeps his precious gem.
They embark on a grand adventure across a fantasy kingdom, meeting tons of wacky characters, performing improvised shows and singing their hearts out. Along the way, they unintentionally discover the freedom and joy of musical theatre. Will the pair change their wicked ways or do whatever it takes to get rich?

9/10
Once upon a Jester is absolutely delightful from start to finish, packed with utterly charming characters and fabulous musical numbers.

7/10
A fantasy musical adventure which has big laughs to match its big heart, while being built around charming, if shallow, gameplay mechanics.

8/10
Once Upon a Jester is surprising game for me and I do recommend it, especially if you are looking for something comedic and that is only a few hours long. It might be over rather quickly, but will stay with you for quite a while.

only started
I finished the first town, and I think I'm in love with all of the characters. For now, I really like the game.

Cool game, but...
I love the songs, and it's a funny game, but there are too many typos, so I had to take off a star. With better proofreading, this game could have been perfect. Oh, well.

absolutely loved it :)
(note: game received for free during a giveaway) ...but what a lovely surprise! even though quite short, be prepared to laugh out loud, to cry manly/womenly tears, to mash space button to the rhythm (but you can't really lose, only progress slower, and you can even choose difficulty) and to listen to really catchy songs that will warm up your heart! the production is very hand-made but this adds a ton to the charm of this game :) I can't wait to see your next project, guys
