Everywhere you've listed your game's genre, you've called it an RPG. in your GDD, you even claim the game should appeal to strategy game enthusiasts. Despite that, there is no strategy involved when playing minutefighter, and little involved in creating builds. This is, essentially, an incremental game in disguise; Gameplay is simplified to expand the possibilities for progression, and the loop revolves around completing quests to get money to complete more quests.

Based on your GDD, i dont think this is where you expected your game to end up. That being said, i wish you'd leaned more into your game's real nature. If you continue this project, you should *strongly* consider a genre pivot. The card-clicking became a boring chore after a few runs - your game is practically *begging* for automation upgrades - some way for me to save on clicking certain abilities.

If i had to redesign this game, i would remove the 4-ability limit. All unlocked abilities are equipped all the time. I would start the player with only the sword, and i would add "Automation" upgrades that auto-cast older abilities. The core gameplay loop can remain unchanged: you can design the game so that the player is only actively using 4 abilities at once, but the game would demand variety and have a much better feeling of progression.

Thank you so much for the great feedback. Automation is a great idea because even during testing, it did become repeatitive tapping the cards to fight. That's why skills were important because certain things happen based on the time.

I will continue to work on it and hope to put it in the app store with some of your feedback.

Thanks again.

you're probably getting disqualified for AI art btw. it's not allowed in this jam.

There is no AI art. I put all the places I got artwork from in the GDD, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gk9fAL-FSh2PoXe714r6_kiLbRa6Re_Cnb5GzSrlCzU/....

all of the monster sprites from your game trip AI image detectors.

I got the enemy sprites from https://willibab.itch.io/free-mythic-monsters. I hope they aren't AI because they are really good and I plan to buy https://willibab.itch.io/mythic-monsters-i if I get more positive feedback.

i hate to say but it looks like they are :/ sorry

Given the sources cited, I have no reason to believe there was a violation of the no AI rule here.
