Awesome game but where is the game?

Hi, this is an HTML game playable by clicking the “Run Puzzle Game” button in the middle of that thing that looks like a main banner. Or if that does not show up for some reason, it should be playable here: https://itch.io/embed-upload/7911361?color=000000 I may totally misunderstand your question tho, as I operate only thanks to a third cup of cappuccino after setting up the game all evening yesterday.
Oh I see. Yeah I cannot think of better implementation of the theme so I just rolled with this.
Technically, the less polarized the shield is the more effective it is… and that’s it. That is the whole inspiration. Someone even advised me it would be better to have a turn counter: the “less” turns you make the “more” money you get… but I hated that. It does not let the player just play and have fun, it just made the experience frustrating. I decided to rather make a better and more enjoyable game than have more points thanks to the better theme. I stand by my decision.
Also, the more subtle theme is: The less you fight the better (more good), but that is more of a philosophical concept lol. I do not expect anyone to actually find it. But it helped me to shape the tone and a story of the game.
And besides… Less theme is more theme, right? Right?
