Wow, this is probably the game I spent the most time on :D
Mixing story and gameplay in that way was kind of genius, it motivated me enough to get to the end.
The gameplay seems to have a lot of depth to it with the different kinds of circles but often you don't have time to think about what would be your best move (maybe a turn based game would fit more ?).
Also there isn't enough visual feedback about board movement, making it quite confusing sometimes.
Otherwise, great game !
I'm glad you enjoyed the story, it actually had a lot of world building and rich lore to it but the story itself is quite self contained, maybe the story could use a little expansion in the future, as I really like the universe we created.
The gameplay itself was an idea I had for a long time, kind of like an arcade puzzle versus game (think puyo pop or tetris battle) with some RPG elements sprinkled in. I initially just wanted to make it a 2 player game but then I thought I really liked games with a story focus so I decided to make it single player with a story mode (I ended up not having enough time to make the 2 player versus mode for the jam, but I'm thinking to keep working on the game to add that in!)
