Flexible Frosty - GBJAM 8It took me a little time to get used to the controls, and I had some bugs in my 1st game, but the next went better and I appreciated.
More differences from the original formula would have been ncie but it's a really good entry anyway, good job!

Quest Of GraalThanks for playing our game and the feedback you've provided! We realised post submission that we should have swaped the keys around, We will fix this and hope to communicate controlls better with the U.I. in the next itterations of the game.
Is there anything we could have done differently otherwise, so you would enjoy the whole game? We would love to know!
Great Job!!! Awesome seeing another strategy game! And you nailed the fire emblem feel.

Phantom FrightThis game has a lot going for it and shows that it has a lot of time put into it however i struggled with the basic combat mechanics pretty severely.
On some turns you would start the player would be in defend or end mode. It was unclear how to go back and forward selecting units and making them do the things you expect them to do.
Maybe if you had something to clearly more define which action phase your character is in before ending.
Example. If your character is in the move phase. maybe have a directional arrow or text tell you which phase you are in. After he moves, he should display whether he can attack or just end his phase. Then move onto the next unit and repeat each action needed.
You should not be able to move between units until all there actions are finished. This way you wont get lost on which unit still has an action to be completed or not. Also limit which unit is able to attack with a priority system forcing you to move one unit at a time. This will give the game a bit more strategic feeling while also helping you see which unit has finished its action.
This will give a better clarity of which phase that unit is in so when your pushing buttons you have a better idea of what's happening.

Blue BayouGreat presentation! The character recruitment mechanic is a fun twist on the Fire Emblem-style gameplay. I liked the little retro jRPG shout-outs in the character names, too.
