The game reminded Legend of Keepers with significant differences. Pleasantly surprised.

Developer

I haven't heard of that game before, I might want to check it out sometime...
I'm happy that you enjoyed the game tho!

I loved this! It felt like a puzzle game and turn based rpg at the same time, very satisfying to play and finish.

Beautifully executed, congrats!

Developer

Thank you!
Glad that you loved this game!

So I'm really surprised, I absolutely loved everything about this game. It's the best I've tested and loved in every way.

Developer

Thank you!

Great game, fits the theme. Plus it's actually fun and got me thinking more than once! I'll get back to beat 15!

Excellent job team!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed it!

And good luck on completing this game!

This is phenomenal! What a fun little game, it took me 4 runs (up to ~13) before I finally beat it. Appeared to be seeded combat that required strategic shuffling and unit purchasing. Zombies ftw :).

Thank you! Good job on completing the game!

Super fun game and good take on the theme! I really liked the screen transition (i'll have to look and see how you did that), and the cute music was a silly as I killed the hero over and over. It was a little frustrating how it seemed like you could get into an unwinnable situation then have to start all over.

Thanks for feedback!

Yeah, starting over is part of the experience, but I can see how you could find this frustrating...

Glad that you still liked the game!

Super charming and strategic. The way I was trying to look for synergies between units reminded me of Slay the Spire.

Developer

Thank you!

That game sounds interesting, I might check it out at some point!

Anyway, I'm happy that you enjoyed this game!

Auto battlers are one of my favorite genre of game. This is awesome. You really hit a sweet spot on number of options in regard to the timeline of the jam. The graphics are also perfect. Really impressive stuff. 

Developer

Thank you!

Glad that you enjoyed the game!

Interesting mechanics, with roles revers! Well done, and nice implementation! I really appreciate the variety of the monsters you can choose from! Really nice job for a 48h project!

Developer

Thank you very much!

I was immediately hooked! The choice to save up meat to increase slots or to use them for new monsters is such a good touch. Level of strategy in this game is just right. Fantastic job!

Developer

Thank you!

Wow, this is by far the longest I have played a game in the jam! Was a lot of fun, glad I was able to finally beat it! Very well balanced in my opinion!
Minor nit-pick - I got frustrated at the game at first because I thought it was cheating me out of wins when the health bar looked like it was 0, there's a picture below (and only realised later that the health is also in the top corner). I think if this was clearer it would be helpful!

But overall, one of the best games I have played, super polished, beautiful art and sound and really fun gameplay! Great work!



 

Developer

Thank you for feedback!

Yeah, that's a but of an oversight on my part, sorry about that. That wouldn't be hard if a fix either...

Very happy that you enjoyed the game though!

Very much a minor thing, the game was honestly so great!

Exceptional presentation paired with a solid and challenging game with some meaningfully different monsters. Very well done!

Developer

Thank you!

This is a fantastic little game. Very challenging too. I couldn’t beat the last few days. Maybe there’s something I’m not really understanding about how the warrior selects its moves, but I was constantly just a few health off from winning the fight, no matter how I shuffled by party of monsters around. Perhaps that’s one thing that could have been communicated a bit better. But if a nitpick like that is the only thing I have to complain about, it means everything else is stellar.

Developer

Thanks for feedback!

To put it simply, the warrior plays semi-optimally. That is, he will use the first sequence of moves that doesn't result in him dying that he can find, if such sequence exists. It's a good call, however, that this should've been communicated in any way.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the game, though!

I really like the graphics. The gameplay is pretty good too.

Developer

Thanks!

I loved the presentation! The music and art style felt very fitting, and the audio for the hits is really well done. The gameplay is fun too! :D

Developer

Thank you! Glad that you loved the game!

Submitted(+1)

Possibly one of the most fun games I've played in the jam so far, I think the balancing was really well done and the strategy could at times really make you consider what order to put your monsters in. Great entry, well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your kind words!

And I'm glad that you had fun with this game!

Submitted(+1)

Wow! This was really well done! I love the music! Sometimes clicking to make your party can feel a little repetitive and tedious (for example, instead of simply swapping them, you have to remove the monster before putting the other monster in), but the resource management aspects were very cool!

Developer

Thank you for feedback!

That is a pretty small detail that you pointed out... But more often than not it's these details that can really make experience better/worse. And this one detail definitely brings the game a tiny bit down, I must say... Something I should probably think more about in the future, huh.

Anyway, I'm happy that you liked the game!

Submitted(+1)

Cool game! Like the graphics! Wanted more action!

Developer

Thank you!

I personally believe, this is the right length for game jam submission, sorry if it was too short for you...

Still glad that you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

It's too easy to softlock yourself :( unless im doing something wrong. Other than that great game with great presentation

Developer (4 edits) (+1)

Thank you!

That is somewhat part of the experience: You learn about monsters, as well as knight's moves as you play. Even if you end up in an unwinnable state, you still can learn something valueable from that experience: maybe you learn that some monsters can perform better against certain moves, while other moves can heavily counter them. In short, you're not doing anything wrong, it's just literally part of game's design.
There were some things I could probably do to balance the game out a bit more, so softlocking doesn't occur as often... But this is game jam we're talking about, there's only so much I could do...

I hope you understand, and I'm glad that you still liked the game!

Sorry if i sounded rough. I really enjoyed the game just found it frustrating to lose my progression.  And the polish level and game feel is quite amazing for a jam game.

Developer(+1)

Don't worry about it, I see what you mean!
What matters in the end is that you enjoyed the game overall!
And again, thank you for playing!
