Developer

Great game, very interesting to play strategically. could have benefitted from more interesting visuals and audio, i.e. attacking animations and sound effects. Would have liked some progression, not necessarily in the types of enemies that appear but maybe in the hearts they have, or a more clear indication on what level you're on? Great job!

Developer

Yeah you're totally right about those points. I should have spent more than 16 hours to reach the level of the other jammers. I didn't want to post it as it was not really understandable and not polished (no animation) but I'm glad you tried it ! :)

Brilliant game, the art reminds me of NES games especially tennis. The menu is really cool, my only suggestion would be to make the game more readable like maybe by having a gameplay tutorial of sorts. All said and done I think this is an amazing entry and would definitely like to come back to it if you update it in the future.

Developer

Thanks so much for your comment ! I hope you enjoyed it :)

And you're right, a tutorial would have been nice, but I was focusing on making the game more readable. (and didn't really succeed haha)

Cute little game. Took awhile to understand the mechanics, I understand trying to include as many features as possible, but it can get overwhelming if not explained properly. Still, I dig the concept and the art/aesthetic was nice overall. Fun game by the end. Got to room 30 haha

Developer

Thanks for playing ! Yes I totally understand what you said and I almost didn't share my work because of this. I didn't find a way to explain everything so I decided to remove some features, but then the game was not fun anymore because you had less choices. Congratulations for reaching the room 30 and I hope you had some fun once you understood the mechanics ! :)

At first I didn’t quite understand how to swap characters’ positions, but other than that, pretty good game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback ! That was the main issue, I couldn't find a way to make the game more readable.. I'm glad you find out :)

i feel like sometimes RNGjesus is with me when i run this game, and sometimes not. Which isn't a bad thing, never know what you're gonna get. Very original concept! I like it!

Developer

Yeah you don't have much control, you just have to cross your fingers :p Thanks for playing !

Nice job! I really like the art style and general aesthetic. It got pretty repetitive, though that's to be expected with infinite games like this, especially after 50 or so rooms. Adding some more variety in some later versions would probably help. Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thanks ! My focus was to make it more readable and understandable and I didn't have the time to focus on the middle and late game. I should add more variety as you mentioned :)

The strategy was easy to understand but not always possible to have winning outcomes. The art was nice and I enjoyed the sound effects. I think the furthest I got was room 16. Would feel more complete with some music. The game did crash one time while purchasing the :|-<3 item. Thanks for sharing!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing ! I think I know what happened for the crash. I didn't check if it was applied to an ally so if there is no ally, it just crashed haha. I must fix that !

This game is so funny and the graphics are very polished

This is extremely well designed, bit overwhelming at first but once you get it's very manageable. I didn't get that far but I definitely will play it again I love startegish games and that blocky looking pixel art not sure what it's called but reminds me of Olli olli is just beautiful.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing ! It seems that a lot of people like this prototype so I might make it with a real game engine to make it easier to understand and more balance with more content :)

i'd be first in  line to play it, good luck

Really nice game! I loved the strategy to the whole thing!

Thanks Nova ! (it's here thanks to your motivation speech haha :p)

Haha yeah I guess xD. In the end I think it turned out really good! I wasn't really confused at all.

Reached Room 11! Thanks for making this, art was really cool,  and concept was great! As you said, more explanations on powers etc would have been fab, but overall, really nice work! :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and congrats for reaching room 11 ! I'm glad you liked it :)
