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.
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 :/
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!
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! :)
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.
Good idea, even if not fully developed yet.
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.
This is such a cool concept—really loved how the genres were mixed. Had a great time playing!
Thanks!
I like this, a very unique concept, very potential, but the game overall needs to be polished.
Thanks! Yeah it does need alot of polish. I ended up focusing on the mechanics and ran out of time.
It's always cool to see a game blending two completely different genres. I love the concept!
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.
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.
Thanks! Into The Breach is a good shout, I do enjoy the way they handle their grid and turns.
Cool idea! Almost feels like a sokoban game.
Thanks! Yeah it does have that feel to it.
Super simple but super fun. Unique aswell. Loved it!
Thanks!
A very unique concept to be sure, I love the direction you went :3
Thanks!
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!
Thanks! I'm glad you were able to figure it out.
i dig it!
Thanks!
I love this concept so much. Took me a couple of tries to get it down but the rhythmic movement reminded me a bit of Crypt of the Necrodancer . The boss keeps disappearing towards the end so I can't finish them off.
Thanks! Crypt was definitely in the back of my mind when developing the game. Glad the movement felt rhythmic.
The boss disappearing means you beat it! There might be a bug where the UI doesn't update properly, but it takes 10 orbs to finish them off.
Gotta say, it was extremely hard for my brain to figure out the mechanics of this, but after I did it proved itself to be an actual fun challenge. Great game!

Thanks! Yeah I ran out of time for anything tutorial/controls-wise. What specifically about the mechanics were unclear at first? I want to try and make it more intuitive for the future.
Very fun and unique concept! Reminds me of the "Go" games, like Hitman Go or Lara Croft Go. Nice job!
Thanks! Just looked those up, they seem fun too. I can see the similarity.
This game was very stressful yet fun. It took me a second to understand how the turn system worked with the timer, but I figured it out. Great job!
Thanks! Yeah I ran out of time for anything tutorial/controls-wise. What specifically about the Turn System was unclear at first? I want to try and make it more intuitive for the future.
No problem! I just had trouble realizing that both the timer running out or making a move would end my turn. I thought it was just the timer at first for some reason.
Ah ok. That is understandable. Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it.
This was very good. couldn't really see the theme but loved the mechanics! how can it be that stressfull as a turn based game!
Thanks! Yeah I stuck more to my idea than the theme, but still had a fun time making the game. I hope it was stressful enough, I think the turn timer really complemented the turn-based gameplay.
Yeah I freaked out when I saw it!
