this is cute! i'm not familiar with fossil fighters but i can take a guess at what it was like based on this, haha
i wish i'd been able to play it longer but i couldn't seem to defeat any level 2, uh, trainers? i kept getting stuck in a loop where they'd have only a guy on a blue panel left and then we'd both just keep doing zero damage to each other. i don't know if i misunderstood something about the battle system? maybe i needed to grind on level 1s more, but i was already oneshotting everything else
i do like the physical arrangement and how it actually factors in though, that seems interesting! i'm curious if there are multi-hit moves or other fancier stuff later on
