Cool idea, I like the auto generation.

The map reminded me a little of "faster than the speed of light". The game was nice, getting heavyly carried by the music imo. So top choice on that!

cool idea, nice map feature, I'd recommend highlighting which 'areas' on the map were already completed and add some extra encounters, since its a turnbased-strategy game I'd also recommend numbers/a preview of what'd happen 'if' you made a turn (maybe if you hover over the action?). Otherwise cute music, nice and simple mechanics, nice art :D

Thanks for the feedback! Those are really good suggestions, I wish I thought of adding them when I was making it

The battles seem to end before anyone is dead. The whale is really cute

Cool game and good attempt! Sadly I couldn't pass the 3 enemys. I tried it a couple of times... Is there any hint how to beat them?

Developer

The fish enemies are generally weaker to group attacks, where the space ships are easier to defeat with single target damage. I will admit the ships turned out harder to defeat than I anticipated

The aesthetic and background music is very soothing! Just didn't see any circuit board implementation
