I think it would be better if there was better telegraph for the enemy attacks. I would get sniped by the seals without knowing it.

Game looks very polished, everything looks high-def and clean, your art really shines here!

I think the biggest downside for me is that everything just kinda happens at once. The tutorial was alot to take in, and enemies attack without much leeway for me to react.

Your entry really stands out from the rest though! There are barely any holostar reps in holojam, so it's nice to see some once in awhile. Thanks for making this!

Art is good and music too. Game have some balancing issues. And need tutorial. I managed to complete it by standing on one place and spam bombs. Also would be great have more mobility. After some actions you have to wait and can't move. Interesting idea. Good job

For the type of game you were trying to copy, you did a good job getting the basics done in the game jam time. The current form is kind of a weird mix between Mega Man Battle Network and One Step From Eden as the pacing is more fast paced like Eden instead of the slower pace of Battle Network, but you have a more restricted 3x3 instead of the 5x5. I think the delay before you can move again is a bit too long, which makes things feel sluggish when this benefits more from a snappier movement. This does suffer from the same issue as Eden had where you have too many abilities and options to keep track of that the strategy just becomes build a deck and spam things on cooldown, which is what I did in this to roll through to the end. Since you said you're planning on working on this more, I'm curious to see where you go with this.

Cool game! It was  a bit hard to get my head wrapped around the mechanics though.

Certainly a lot to unpack, I feel it's an interesting concept so I can see the potential!

I didn't get the sense that there was any chance to use actual tactics or strategies. It's just constant enemies doing mysteriously hitting attacks directly at the player character. In particular, the 2 areas felt more like a frustrating contrivance rather than an interesting mechanic. I think you need to slow things down and think about what the player is actually supposed to be doing, then try to convey that better or make it more feasible.

Interesting albeit a bit overwhelming from the get go. Lotta options and I ended up dying to time. I encountered maybe a bug where I got turned around and couldn't target enemies anymore with basic attacks and could only spam the items to win. Interesting to see a holostars game. Hope to see more, their lore/weapons are cool!

Nice work on this game! I pretty much just tanked everything and just spammed my fire bomb/water/lightning until everyone died lol.

The mechanics were pretty interesting. It seemed that water was effective against fire, electric against water. The tile based combat and varied moves seem to have really good potential for some nice strategy!

Interesting prototype!

I saw lots of attack options and items that can alter the gameplay. Pretty cool!

I honestly got overwhelmed by the tutorial, though. It's just too much information to take at once.

Definitely consider giving the player time to learn and practice the different battle elements one by one as a tutorial before the actual game.

We also need more of a story to understand why we're fighting. What is this place we're exploring? Who are we fighting? Why is there a time limit?

Good luck on completing the game!

Not bad for a prototype! Kinda hard to really understand whats going on sometimes but other than that very fun to play around!
