Interesting take on the RPG genre. I liked the minimalist graphics style, and the monsters floating around the playing field was pretty unique.
I have a few suggestions: it could have used an in-game introduction of some sort for the first battle to get used to the mechanics. Also, the screen was too big vertically, so I had to zoom out to see it all.

BAAAAATS!!! I hate bats in games. I missed them a lot. Great idea. I can see a whole game developed around this. A turn-based skill & reflex rpg.

Ugh, the controls were very annoying to me. I don't know if I just misunderstood - but this wasn't fun to play for me, sorry. :/

I love your game and the concept the game is building on. I have not seen that before and I love it. I had a hard time getting away from it :)

Interesting take on the stripped back RPG!

I liked the simple style but felt it was a bit to random. I felt the bouncing around of the enemies was a bit distracting. Did it add anything to the gameplay?

Nice idea with the simple combat, however I kept fighting multiple dragons making it fairly hard. A bit too random for my taste.

Really hard sometimes, especially against the dragons. The text on the skills could do to be a bit bigger. Liked the mobile layout, could be a great super-quick pick up and play, pause where you left off mini distraction for phones :)

Cool concept, very minimalist great job :D

The size of the game screen is a little odd so I had to zoom out to play properly but really nice idea. Well done! :)

Well executed mechanics, but it got repetitive pretty quickly. I got slaughtered twice by a random hard spawn (or maybe I just sucked). I hope you keep with it, and flesh it out because it definitely has potential!

Kinda tough but a neat idea. I would love to have something like this on my cell phone to fire up for a few minutes here and there

Very cool, I really like it.

I love the graphical style! Good run, very clean-looking, without too much fluff, as appropriate to the theme.

I find this little rpg very well done, imo you can do something with this !

patrickward 2013-05-02 12:24

Once I figured out what to do, it was fun. I was anxious waiting for my turn! Nice, crisp graphics. The audio was minimal, which fit the graphics well. My only suggestion would be to add some simple instructions in the beginning for the clueless like myself. Well done!

I like the combat mechanics, you could really use the for a full game!

awennor 2013-05-03 11:06

I think the actions should be immediate and the delay should be applied later, other than that, pretty cool.

Pretty much classic RPG combat distilled to it's basics.

Extremely good game. Nice to see timers given the prominence they deserve in RPG ! One or two very simple tutorial screens with a help text bubble shown would enable more to play immediately. No positional play here.

Extra comment: sometimes random moves generator gives no heal - that's not so bad, but sometimes it also gives no attacks! which is a problem
