A game that's mostly text-based, which is also really compelling? Amazing job on the design choices here. The music track has that early-internet style aesthetic - the music style reminds me of classic Nitrome flash games. It took me a minute to understand the game, so the only suggestion I would make is to have a tutorial that walks the player through a round, to get them understanding how waiting works, and that their attacks don't work if the ability points are too low.

This is absolutely brilliant. I love the humor, the visual style, the gameplay... everything is just amazing. The upgrades screen could use a little polish and I think overall it could be tuned to look more like an old Windows exe, like the Instructions pane is. Really good gameplay, but I was a little confused at first by the fact that each line has the bulging animation three times per round - I thought that meant it was attacking me more than once per turn. Overall brilliant game, I am absolutely blown away by the creativity and the quality in this 96-hour jam game!

I am now at round 9 and have been playing nonstop since yesterday.

I enjoyed your game, but for real how do I startup a webserver?

very humorous and immersive! great job
loved the easter eggs

i see that you made the theme (coding) a priority, but some addittional UI wouldve helped me get the grasp of the game. great job nonetheless.  ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
