A Slay the spire like game for a game jam is quiet ambitious! I bet you spent all the time on making the game actually work over polish lol. I get it I get it.Really cool concept I sacrificed all of my INT (intelligence?) because why need brain when you can one kill stuff.

Developer

Yep! We are really rush the development😭so we really don't have time to polish some system. Thank you for comment by the way!

This is an amazing concept and really fun for a game jam, with a bit  more polish this would be SOOO good

Thanks for playing! We’ll keep working to make it even better.

Sound be lacking but otherwise nice art and creative narrative frame!

Developer

Thank you so much for coming to play!

I like the idea, but i think for a jam game, where people play lots of games quickly, its too complex (with all the stats and having to decide which ones to tribute when you dont even know what they mean). A simpler version for the jam with streamlined controls and sound could have had higher impact. But i think the concept itself is great and i encourage you to take this a step further!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! We will definitely use this feedback to make improvements. I hope to see you again in future jams!

really nice concept of a game, and I do think that if polished it can be really great. With addition of a decent sound design and better gameplay and UX it can be a decent game.

The credits button doesn't work btw.

Developer

Busted! Haha, yeah... the credits button doesn't work—that was our mistake!

Anyway, we're glad you played it. Thanks!

I'm a bit sad you didn't have more time to polish this, with some balancing and features implemented it could be something I'd buy in an instant. Art style is really intriguing, and I also liked the idea of the tributes between one level and the next, but i felt it didn't impact as much as it should. Great job overall!

Developer

Thanks for the comment! We’re thrilled to receive such high praise.

We’re glad you played it!

this art scratches a spot in my brain i didn't know existed, a clean entry overall! enjoyed it and played twice!

Developer

We are incredibly grateful—thank you so much! We can't wait for you to try V.2, which is completely bug-free!

Submitted(+2)

Love the art & gameplay overall. But I got stuck with no available skills, which was my own fault  :) 

Developer(+1)

It was our fault that V.1 had bugs in several places; we were extremely pressed for time back then. We created V.2 to fix those issues, though new bugs unfortunately popped up. Still, we’re glad you got to play it! :D

Clean gameplay, overall pretty good!

Developer

We're glad you're playing it. Thanks!

I found it a little bit too easy, but it looks nice, good job

Developer

We actually intended for it to be harder than this, but we're glad you played it despite the bugs.

Submitted(+2)

Beautiful art style, I hope you will continue it in the future, it has a lot of potential

Developer

Thank you very much!

(Our artist is probably blushing.)

We’ll certainly take that into consideration!

Completed a run! Cool game, I can appreciate how difficult it is to build a turn-based system in such a short jam 🤘

Thanks for playing! We're so happy you understand us. TvT
