Solid gameplay and great art. Would like some music in the title screen since I turned up the audio and then got blasted with sfx when I hit start. I did find the having to wait to click another character annoying with how there was a timer; ruins the urgency. Would be nice to have where the unit will attack and if it will and be attacked before placing so I didn't have to keep opening info - remember there is a timer and some sprites look very similar so facing direction is questionable. Love the loading screen.

Thank you so much for trying out the game.
As for being unable to place a character in the shelter during a turn:
1- It is a turn-based game, so I can't allow the player to place another monster before every existing monster has taken its turn, if any.
2- I don't think it ruins the sense of urgency. In my opinion, it actually intensifies the consequences of a wrong placement, since attacks take more time away from you before you regain control. However, it is still a good point to consider and think about, so thank you!
As for the facing direction, I totally agree with you. Some sprites don't represent their direction clearly enough, especially the diagonal ones.
Thank you for playing the game and for your feedback!
