Woah, thank you for such detailed review! The “Skip Turn” button really has just once use with a specific enemy (Dark Whirlpool), that spins the tiles around itself every turn. Thus when you are in the move phase, you’re given a choice to stay put and let it readjust the tiles in a way that might help. It’s true that besides that, it’s not doing much and can be misleading.
Overall, thanks for playing. So happy you loved it! Our music guys really did cook on the layered audio — it’s my personal favorite part about the game <3
