Thank you for playing our game! Your feedback is incredibly helpful!
The Gameplay
We originally planned to have the turns end automatically, but in the end, we simply ran out of time. (As it was, at the last minute we discovered that, for some reason, the sound effects and music loops stopped working after exporting the game. I fixed that, but then the level transition system completely fell apart, even though the two systems were barely connected to each other.)
The key rebinding suggestion is a great idea, and we'll definitely make use of it in similar projects in the future.
We're also happy that the tutorial lived up to our expectations. (I might have a bit of an advantage here because I used to work on Minecraft adventure maps, where many beginners explained everything through text, which really hurt the gameplay experience. That's probably where I got the idea.)
Graphics
The artist thanks you for your advice. They only recently started creating this kind of artwork, and this was the first time they made something entirely on their own without following tutorials.
Music & Sound Design
We originally wanted to create the music and sound effects ourselves, but we ran out of time, so we downloaded them from Pixabay and did some editing in Audacity. (This was probably the better choice for the music, since neither of us has much musical talent. 😅)
We'll definitely check out the YouTube video—thanks!
(As for the sound effects, once again I can only say that we simply didn't have enough time. It also didn't help that we only had three afternoons and one morning to dedicate to the game.)
Last Thing
Of course, we know that you're human just like us, and everyone thinks and feels differently. Still, in my opinion, an outside perspective can evaluate something better than someone who is already emotionally attached to the game because they created it.
If all goes well, we'll participate in Godot Wild Jam #96, armed with the lessons we've learned from this jam. (So that we can make the exact same mistakes all over again... 😅)
