The combat options and the bars were really cool. Great job!

I like that you left room for the player to experiment, and gave us hints (one enemy doesn't deal damage when defending). I had a lot of fun playing through this a few times until I found the winning combination, like solving a puzzle. Great job putting all this together into a cohesive experience! One tip would be to work on the text contrast with the background. Adding text boxes would help with this quite a bit.

Looking at the few time you had, that quite a good rpg-lite game! Great take on the theme!

Feel free to look at my game! It's really short also :)

Fun and great story! I liked the strategy choices, I thought they were well balanced.

Loved the story.

Nice! I like turn-based games like this. I would've liked to see what the enemy was doing but besides that, I  felt the mechanics were solid!
