Did you work in a team?
Just me. It was quite fun!

Was the resolution a challenge?
The resolution made using a good font and fitting text very difficult! It also restricted the puzzle area, but ultimately it improved the game by simplifying both dialog and level design.

What did you learn?
I wanted to test this game idea (chips+magic+capturing) with lots of gameplay content but minimal visuals (64x64). It worked well, but with a few annoying bugs that I've learned to watch out for. I also now know to find a better pixel font beforehand.

Insane amount of polish in all the little graphical touches, be it the chips' VFX or the beautiful hallway encounters. So much unique content too, with a clever board and set of chips for each enemy.  All the music you found and implemented also added a lot to the game. I wish there was a way to restart a battle without just placing all your pieces, but otherwise the gameplay was polished to a mirror sheen.

I really like the game! A great idea. Very polish. And one of the best graphics I saw I'm the jam. Congrats!

Nice strategic board game you got there, some of the enemies are really tough, like the ice one. A really entertaining experience I will keep coming back to. Great entry!

A jam winner lunges from the dark! I beat the game 2 times and I am irresistibly drawn to the third. 20 stars are yours.

Awesome game, one of my favorites in the jam! I really liked the story elements between levels, the puzzles themselves, and the music. The soundtrack was a banger! Really nice job!

really loved it, a nice spin on one of my favorite childhood games: reversi

the only bad thing I can say is I didn’t like the font choice… and: the fire serpent. I hate the fire serpent!

This was beyond incredible, my favorite entry from the jam by far - if I could give it a thousand stars in every category I would :D BTW this was from New Game+ I loved it so much :D

Really fantastic gameplay idea (one of my favorites so far in fact).

I’m a big fan of the Game of Go and love this take on a liberty centric game.

I also liked that I could figure the mechanics out without going through the tutorial. Great job!
