This was a really smart game, and also was one of my favorites so far. The idea is creative, and the execution is well done. I ended up playing it entirely, it was quite fun. Thanks for making it :)

Really well made game, I love the visuals and artstyle, the main mechanic is super engaging, and it really picks up once multiple party members get added to the mix, and I had to start thinking tactically about which UI elements were more integral to click than others.

This is definitely one of my favorite games of the jam so far.

I really like the concept behind this one. It's really clever. At first I was underwhelmed, but as soon as I got a second character it became really fun to try to arrange the buttons smartly. 

I almost wish you also got to control the enemy buttons (obviously making their cursor move a lot quicker/bounce around so it's harder to just always pick the good stuff for you) every turn. 

The general pace of the game could also be a little quicker I'd say. 

Overall it's really cool. Would make for a great roguelike if expanded further! I'd appreciate it if you check out my game too if you have a minute. 

Enjoyed this game a ton, wish there was more of it to be honest! I did hit escape to pause the game at one point and it sadly sent me back to the main menu, but other than that little hiccup it's an absolute blast and I can see so much potential for this idea in the future.

Glad you liked it! Yeah I definitely should put up some kind of warning about the escape situation lo

Fun game, good concept! There was a bug where an enemy wouldn't select, so I couldn't keep going, but if you added actions that added obstacles (I dunno, like undertale?) to the areas, maybe if an action touches a thornvine it would get locked and no longer move for the turn, consuming the thornvine, or and action that messed with how hands move, like making them wiggle so they're harder to hit, it would make the main concept more involved than simply clicking actions? Great aesthetics and controls well. Great!

Fun game! It was a little bit slow in the beginning and too easy, but the more party members you get, the more fun it becomes!

Game is really fun!, love the sprites and the UI itself, gives me nostalgia of PS1 JRPG UI!

Cute game! If this was a combat system in a full game, I definitely wouldn't mind

The Game Has An Interesting Concept Tho I Feel As It's A Bit Too Easy... Which Is Good For A Game Jam But I Still Would Like More Difficulty Or Just Difficulty Settings!
