Really good game, it's a fun idea for a rouglike. I like the design of each class, mostly that they are all blue. And guys nerf arcanist

This is a really cool game with a lot of potential. You already have a bunch of different characters with different moves and synergies which is super impressive. I'm interested to see if you continue developing it after the jam. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Not sure we continue to develop it, I guess it will depends on the rating. But we had fun making it

I feel like I could spend a lot of time with this one, want to come back to it when I have more time after the jam to try out different characters, I feel like the characters I chose I just went with certain combos again and again but would like to try out different combos! Well done getting so much done in such little time! 

Developer

Thanks, we add fun designing so much characters

Nice game, very polished and a lot of characters to play with. I had fun altough i always died after 3 or 4 rounds, it would be nice like permanent beneifts after each run, so its easier to get into harder rounds, but i suppose its just my skill issue. Also, shield seems absolutely useless, i was using it a lot in my first rounds until i read its only for that turn (and in that turn my caster its the last so). Very enjoyable game though, it has potential, great work !

Also, you can try my game if you want, it just takes 5 minutes ;)

Thanks! I will check yours too

I'm not a huge fan of turn-based games, but this might be one of the most polished games I've seen submitted to the jam! The art style is so unique and visually pleasing, and I'm quite frankly floored by the amount of different enemies and classes you were able to add in only 4 days. I did find the turn order a bit confusing, but other than that, the gameplay felt really intuitive and has tons of room for depth. Excellent job!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

The turn order system seemed confusing at first, but i learned to strategize around the timing of different actions. Turned out to be very engaging! Art is pleasing to the eye as well, all around a fun experience!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! We missed some time to create a proper tuto. Glad you enjoyed!

Wow, this is definitely one of the best games I've played so far for this game jam! Crazy amount of detail and so many options for you only having 4 days. That's absolutely crazy man. Great work.

Hey, if you don't mind also checking out the game I helped with: /jam/gmtk-jam-2026/rate/4823513

Amazing, good jo!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot!!

Oh, this game is super fun, and the artwork looks so cool!

Developer

Thanks a lot!! Happy you enjoyed it

Incredibly fun game! All the character arts are gorgeous and the gameplay is really intuitive without overcomplicated abilities. Overall had a great smooth time playing and the audio also fit cohesively. The only issue i faced was that some sprites end up hiding part of the health bar so that does trip me up sometimes but besides that the game is well made, great job!

Developer

Thanks! I wish we had more time to polish some part of the game

I really enjoy Turn-based combat games and this one did not disappoint :)

Developer

Really happy to read that, thanks!

Really impressive amount of depth for a jam game! Definitely want to come back later to try out different team compositions

Developer

Awesome, thanks! We tried to make each character unique.

Submitted(+2)

Really, really good game design. Each class felt thematic and had a unique mechanics. Very intuitive game with an impressive amount of depth!

Developer

Thanks!!!

Pretty good. Shields work somewhat strange tho

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Shield deplete the turn they are created, so you have to sync them with incoming attack to not take dmg. I wish we had more time to add some visual feedback on that.
