This is a great entry! I loved sort of puzzling together how the enemies functioned and the best strategies to counter each of them with the tiles on the board.

Great job on the pacing as well! I rarely find myself actually beating jam entries!

Finally, the art is wonderful! It’s a very unique style and I’ve never played a game that looks like this before. Very whimsical.

Great job, y’all! :-)
