I think I lost to a bug cause I had leftover hearts. Anyway, jelli + the broffesor steamroll the entire map.

This needs more mechanics and features, it’s a fun concept and can easily be a bigger game! :) Awesome work.

Great game ! The idea is cool. The visual are really great. You could make the game better by adding some more strategy (with point changing maybe idk) and by adding some feedback on what we gain and what we lost.

I didnt notice whats the goal until i lost the game twice then only notice that the bottom left is stating there 100 golds needed lol. Perhaps can have some UI guidance since first time players are literally clueless about the game. The aesthetics, bgm and sfx are top notch though so nonetheless its a pretty well executed game. The game mechanic is simple yet well designed so great work there!

Thank you for the valuable feedback! Definitely something to make the goal clearer or more obvious would help a ton! Always make sure your players know what to do lol! Great advice for any devs out there! thank you again for your feedback and kind words!

It is a cool idea, and well made. Wish it had more content.

Super fun, and the music was awesome. I think a little more explanation of how to play would be awesome, but I figured it out and it was super cool.

Developer

I'm so glad you were able to figure it out, but I agree, making sure the player knows what to do is probably step one of shaping the experience lol! Thank you for the feedback, kind words, and your time!

Liked it! Definitely I think needs a bit more guidance on how to move the party around (maybe fading out the icons of anything that isn't able to be accessed?) - it took me a little bit to figure out. The music is nice, concept of the game is good!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Some really good suggestions there to! Thanks for taking the time to play!
