I adored the visual style of this game, especially how everything had idle swaying animations. I liked that cards were drawn randomly each turn so there was no guarantee for what moves would be available each turn. I felt there was a nice variety in cards to choose from after each battle.

I felt that the turn order/indicator could have been made more clear and card turns could have been a bit faster as sometimes it seemed like there were 3+ card turns in a row and they would have have pauses before and after which added a lot of time.

That was actually so fun to play. Turns are not clear and it only says it's your turn might be a bug and item explanations while selecting items are hard to read because explanations appairs behind the you have one choice sign. But I liked the general game and you have great art you should use it.

Sometimes the controls are not clear. And so the game is cool!

Wow, the art is amazing, and I really love the concept. Great job, especially for such a short amount of time!
Like Frag Machine mentioned, I’d just speed up the pacing a little, but aside from that, it’s really well done!

Those characters are great! Really charming art!
I wish turns would play out a bit faster
Music loop is a little short and gets old fast

I love your art style! The game is great, very thankful for the turn indicator, wish the music changed up a little more though
