Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- There were a couple of design decisions that I don't think translate very well. 1. "X" over a spot usually means it's an area that you *can't* do something. 2. Right click is usually a "menu back" button. The game is fun enough. I think the checkerboard works for prototype development, but a different terrain would be nice to see. Keep at it. You've made something here!

A really solid foundation that lays the ground floor of a turn based tactical rpg.
The game plays well though I'm not sure why I have to left click and right click to move/attack I feel like just left clicking would have been fine?
I only played to level 2 to be honest because the enemies on level 1 were so beefy and it was just move > attack > move > attack and I feel like I got the jist of the game without needing to see much more.
I hope you continue to build on the foundation you have started and who knows it may be the next fire emblem!
Trying to build a whole turn-based tactics game for a jam seems like a massive undertaking and I applaud the attempt.
As it stands it's a pretty bare-bones prototype but could definitely build into something bigger. There are no obstacles so the battles are just pretty dependent on the power of your units as they only have a singular attack option. The melee unit is very powerful, the potion unit doesn't seem to do much.
Definitely potential here but also not a lot to actually give feedback on as it currently is.
