Loved Streaming and LOVED THE GAME! I am going to play this through fully since it was such a fun mechanic and I know you put a lot of time and energy in creating this game! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Thank you so much for playing it was great to watch someone play live as I could see some flaws in the design while you were playing! We are going to make a full release for play store and steam so if there's any features you wanna see or improvements please don't hold back as we want to release the best version of this as we can :)

Nice! I really liked using the enemies bullets against each other

this one was really good. loved the take on the theme and the turn-based combat, and also really funny to think about us falling for that long. I think to really sell the idea of mid-air combat, animations could've been faster, and a real-time replay of the floor could be shown after each floor. but these are small things - the gameplay is already engaging and fun. nice work to your new team!

Very cool game, strategizing turns felt really good and I enjoyed the fun upgrades. Could definitely see this being expanded into a a full game!

Fun little game! I love the idea of having to essentially complete "efficient battles." Having the round countdown motivated my strategies without making things too stressful. Good concept and execution

The premise of this is pretty sick. I loved the character art a lot.

This is my personal favorite so far. It's so simple in loop but so deep in choices. Love how it really lets you puzzle your turns out. Music and art on point. Great work!

Really, really cool game. Loved it.

The combo system, the variety of enemy, the idea. Everything was great.

The only downsize, if we must pick one, is that other spell available in the shop were just for "funzy", as you can finish the game pretty easily with just maximizing Ki, and using the basic spell.

A really cool game nonetheless.

Keep the good work !

Fair! a good feedback, but we've playtested it with an "average crowd" and some of them didn't get past the 3rd round. We didn't want to make the game too difficult. Thank you for playing our game!

This is so polished and just perfect all around. Very creative gameplay, a lot of room for strategizing. The art is also great.

For me, this is the example of a full-mark jam game!
