  • Thank you so much for putting together an entry for the 7DRL jam. Great work! I really had a good time with this, and it was interesting to go through. I didn't want to, but I felt I had to knock one point off the "Aesthetics" category just due to how tiny the tiles were. But apart from that I had a great time. I really urge you to try and take some time to put into this now that the jam is over. Maybe some background music and/or some sound effects.
  • This is a cool concept, with a nice aesthetic, but ultimately it didn't totally come together for me. The description says the turns are executed simultaneously, but somehow the enemies always seem to know where I am headed. Also, the game is all about ranged combat, but the enemies close so quickly the 'anticipate where the enemy is headed' aspect is negated -- he's just stuck to you, attacking. It also seemed like the enemy got a free move before you cast a spell; either I'm not getting the mechanic or it's a bug. (Probably the former!) I do really like the concept and feel like with another week of tuning and balancing this could be really nice. Will keep an eye on it!
