Post-Jam updates

The Essence of Tactics
A browser game made in HTML5

We've made several changes since the jam, here they are. Enjoy!

Turn Order

All enemies now attack as a group in order before moving, this means that enemies won't move out of each other's way during their turn. In detail, this is the enemy's turn order:

  1. all enemies perform the attack they planned last turn, if any, in their turn order
  2. any new enemies spawn in
  3. All enemies move and plan their attack for next turn, in their turn order

UI improvements

  • Hovering over a monster will flash its planned attack, to make it clearer who will be doing what.
  • An arrow under monsters indicates the direction they'll attack in.
  • If you've seen a card before, it won't animate in.
  • A new panel indicates what your currently "active" action is - either move or an ability card
