Interesting game! I personally enjoy tactical grid-based combat games, so this was a really great experience for me. The visuals are pretty solid as well. Congrats on the submission!

very cool idea, would add a button to not have to wait 3 secs if you dont want to for when youre moving, and i feel like its a bit too difficult i would add more consumables but apart from that nice!! slick visuals, would have loved to have music though

really fun fast paced strategy/combat game. felt like i was playing as a fighting junimo from stardew lol. well done on this one!

Super fun game!  Really enjoyed the stressful nature of last minute decision making.  Might be beneficial to color the ladder after each round something different, or a float arrowhead or something to make it more apparent that's where I need to go next.  That wasn't painfully obvious right away for me.  Overall, this was really well done!

I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you so much for the feedback and for playing! :D

I really like the art style! And the concept is good. Maybe adding a button to confirm our action so we don't have to wait 3 seconds would be a good idea, but maybe I'm just impatient 😂

Nice gameplay, the art style is so cute! It reminds me of the Junimor in Stardew Valley

This is a really nice tactical game. I love the retro pixel art. This is a great application of the countdown theme. Well done!

Stumbled upon this game while looking up ours... And what a good surprise ! The gameplay is very intuitive the variety of enemies and weapons is great. The art style is very cohesive. The only gripe I have is that it can sometimes feel frustrating to chase enemies, maybe a dash by default would have been nice ?
Great entry, congrats !

What a nice coincidence :D
