Minimalism to the max!!
Your roguelike game has awakened in me the need to want to make a roguelike with hexagonal tiles like yours. I really like the minimalist style as well as the choice of color palette and sprites.
The gameplay reminds me a bit of Hoplite (I imagine you know it and were inspired by it), but at the same time, it feels like a new and fresh idea, very fun to play and that at times feels like a small puzzle challenge where you can't stop playing and always want to start another game.
In summary, I really like your style of designing games, I think it has a lot of personalities, and as a roguelike, it has seemed to me a very complete and fun delivery.
Many congratulations and thank you for creating such a gem :)
Wow! Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it.
Also, I love Hoplite! I actually made a Hoplite clone as a sort of programming exercise when I was first trying to get into Roguelike development. So definitely an influence in terms of designing around a small, hexagonal grid.
I liked the simple tactical game mechanics and the different enemy types with clearly distinguishable behavior :) Most of the macros were a bit too random to be really useful… double shot or double melee are the really good ones I felt.
The game’s theme also caused a little chuckle in me :D as someone who started learning programming with a turtle back in highschool :D
Hey, thanks for playing and taking the time to give feedback! Also psyched that you got the turtle graphics reference. Cheers
