Thanks! I'll probably keep tinkering at it here and there with the hopes of getting it to more "simulation" places (so that the population and wealth and morale of each city actually matter besides whether or not the city dies on the world map).

Thanks! Yeah I ended up going with a more action-oriented battle system because it was just a ton more fun (probably a metric ton actually). The Kaiju just waiting at the end is actually a bug with the A* connections that I told you about that I had been unable to fix--Instead of disabling tiles where characters were and using the smartness of the A*,  I had to do a secondary check for whether the target was a distance away and whether the next path position was open--meaning that if enemies are ever standing diagonal to their target, they will stop and do nothing until that target moves or is destroyed.

Thanks! The music is done using LSDJ and the sfx is using SFXR.

I built a store (it's almost entirely finished) but I cut it because I hadn't decided how to include it in the flow. The random weapons was definitely a consolation prize to make sure people could play with the different weapons.

Thanks! That was probably the most fun part for me in this jam (3 color 16x16 vehicles are really pretty fun imo)

Thanks! Advance wars has awesome pixel art, so that 's a super compliment. I was hoping to ease players into the combat, but I ran out of time.

Beam laser is my fav too :)
