The idea of controlling characters is nice, but it could have drawn us more into the game. And it would be better if we had more information about the characters' health and status, but it's a good idea that's open to improvement.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing!
I like the idea of indirectly handling party members (and I especially started to appreciate it more when I learned how the stats work), although I feel like there should've been a little more to it; there were some long stretches where I didn't have any items (which is sort of a matter of luck) and was therefore just waiting around for something to happen.
Hey thanks for the feedback! I agree, that there needs to be more happening.
I think if I had more time I would tweak the path finding to pick up items if they are close enough by, on the way to the exit. I'd also add a couple more enemy types and maybe some floor traps.
Either way, thanks for playing!
A really interesting take on the managing theme! Managing the balance of your team's stats was a unique idea, and I think it was executed well here. One detail I especially liked how when one teammate reaches the exit, they essentially become immobile until the rest of the team gets there, which incentivizes players to level up their characters evenly, rather than put all their speed stats into one like I did lol. Anyways, cool game bro. Would love to see what it would look like if you expanded it further after the jam.
Thanks a lot for the kind words! If enough people are into it then I might try and do more with it. Only time will tell lol!
WOW! What a fun game! This is 100% right up my alley! It's almost like you made it just for me to play haha!
I recorded my first impressions and gameplay if you wanna have a more in depth review and feedback. But man... this gets VERY high praise from me! Please reach out to me on the fireside discord server if you'd like to see my recorded gameplay! Fantastic game! Easily in my top 5 for certain.
EDIT: I've gone back and played this game a few times and I just think it rules. My best score is 26 levels (so far) and I have so many cool ideas for what this could eventually turn into if it became a bigger project. Really loving this game!
wow thank you so much for the kind words. I'm really glad you liked it.
I'll reach out over on discord and check out your submission tomorrow morning!
game is bugged for me, i cant interact with my party 😞
Hi, I'm sorry! I tested on both firefox and chrome and they seem to be working fine. What browser are you using?
Do you have popups or javascript disabled? Other than that, I'm not sure what the issue could be :(
Are you trying to click around with your mouse? There are no keyboard buttons besides pressing Z to start and Z to pause.
