This is a really fun once the the patterns get going! very cool concept. I wish there was maybe some extra abilities outside of single tile movements. Like a x tile dash that recharges for a few turn or smth

This is such a cool concept, and the core mechanics are very well executed! I hope you find time to polish it more after the JAM and add some music and sounds. There’s some good potential here, well done!

This is super cute! The patterns are simple and yet take advantage of the turn-based system and the turn timer adds a good bit of spice. It's a bit short,  but there's a solid base for something really special here.

It took me more tries that I'd want to admit to finally defeat the boss. The game works very well, I had a lot of fun playing, the different enemies are perfect and I love the time pressure including the actual time you get.

Nice game, unique movement patterns which keep you guessing so not predictable. The concept of turn based bullet hell also was well implemented. Sound effects and music would enhance this a lot!

Submitted(+1)

Interesting idea, reminds me of the Mystery Dungeon games. But sometimes I would get hit even though it looked like I wouldn't, and you can't get hit even once without having to start over; that made it frustrating for me.

This was great! I can see this evolving into something very solid. As it was, I already felt super engaged with the turn based system.

Developer

Thanks! Glad to hear it is already engaging. Hopefully I can continue to develop it into something more complete.

Awesome concept! Sad that there aren't any sounds :/

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I agree with you there, hoping to add sounds and more polish in a future update.

This is a brilliant concept, ofc you lack a bit of the juice (graphics, sfx, music) but the potential is tremendous, really out of the box, very well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yeah hoping to add more juice and polish in a future update.

Such an interesting concept, I really enjoy turn based games and I was amazed on how well this mix between these two genres worked out. I would have loved some more polish and maybe some sfx or music but that's okay having in mind the time limit. Good job and keep it up! :)

Developer

Thanks! I agree, more polish would be great to add, and that's my goal for a future update. I am glad you enjoyed it in its current state, still.

Submitted(+1)

Good idea, even if not fully developed yet.

Developer

Thanks! Yeah I ran out of time for a fully polished experience, but I am hoping to add to it for a post-jam update.

Submitted(+1)

This is such a cool concept—really loved how the genres were mixed. Had a great time playing!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

I like this, a very unique concept, very potential, but the game overall needs to be polished.

Developer

Thanks! Yeah it does need alot of polish. I ended up focusing on the mechanics and ran out of time.

Submitted(+1)

It's always cool to see a game blending two completely different genres. I love the concept!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah I wasn't sure how they would work together, but I think it turned out really cool.

I love how this feels and plays! The boss vanishes when they have a small amount of health left (maybe its just the healthbar displaying while the boss is actually dead). I'm sure it's also quite impressive behind the scenes, since turn-based coding is surprisingly complicated compared to regular run-and-gun gameplay.

Developer

Thanks! I am glad to hear it feels and plays well.

Yeah the boss bar seems to be bugged to not display properly when they die, but if they disappear you have won!

And honestly, its surprisingly simple to get the turn-based system up and running, as its essentially just a timer that tells all the objects to move, and can be overridden by player movement. The grid did make that much more challenging though. So thanks, again!

Finally, Into The Breach meets Bullet Hell. Awesome submission. Absolutely adorable. 

Developer

Thanks! Into The Breach is a good shout, I do enjoy the way they handle their grid and turns.

Submitted(+1)

Cool idea! Almost feels like a sokoban game.

Developer

Thanks! Yeah it does have that feel to it.

Submitted(+1)

Super simple but super fun. Unique aswell. Loved it!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

A very unique concept to be sure, I love the direction you went :3

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Great game! It took me some tries because I forgot it was a turn-based game, so I would just spam some moves and die XD but after that I started playing better, awesome work!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you were able to figure it out.
