Great game! Responsive, thoughtful and very well paced.
Think it crashed a few rounds in. Big fan of Fire Emblem, so i'm gonna give this a good score :)
The texts at the beginning go a bit too fast for my tired brain, but other than that it's great. Quite addicting!
Haha, love the idea! A one turn, turn-based game :P Has something comical to it as well. The music and sound were a pain though. The game itself was challenging and pretty fun.
Interesting idea for a mechanic. I'd like a way to skip levels I've beaten, or at least the intro. Fun to play, overall.
Absolutely love it. A little easy though, but I guess that if there were more levels the difficulty would get higher.
You really got a new point of view of the theme! I love RPGs and it's amazing how it reminds me of the retro ones! Really fun :D Good Job!
I really like the game! It's not buggy, it works, and more importantly... it's fun! And it contains strategy, which I always like! Really nice made.
Very nice one, I love strategy games! It's very easy to understand and to play. And the background images are beautiful! Congrats!
I really liked the hand drawn style of the backgrounds? A nice simple mechanic well implemented. Nice work :)
Were there only 3 levels or did it crash on me? I played through twice.
I liked the idea. Would have liked it more if it was a bit harder though. Don't know if it crashed or it is just supposed to end when finishing level three.
Should be able to skip the instructions.
I thought the attack area would show the square you could attack after you move, so that confused me a bit.
It didn't seem to have much challenge to it though. Maybe if after you moved 1 unit the enemy moved one unit it would be more interesting.
Game got stuck after few levels (with some trees in the background) - Victory text is shown and that's about everything.
I like the idea, but (unless I missed more interested stuff later after the hangup) it's not challenging at all.
Nice entry, good job (:
Hi all! First, thanks for the feedback! It's much appreciated.
I'm afraid most of you who've complained about the lack of challenge are right. If you take a look at the postmortem I'm totally not spamming about right now, I'm aware that there are sadly too few levels, and gameplay is a bit sparse.
For example, the enemies' attack areas are there because I'd planned for the possibility of enemy moves and counters, but in the end couldn't properly define when or how they would do it and I ran out of the time. I should have taken those cues out to decrease confusion. There are some more control/ui issues that I have in mind that could have improved the experience, but they'll have to remain on the wishlist for a hypothetic v2.0
I need to take a look at what seems to be a crash. There was at least one level with the second background, and upon completing it you would go back to the start screen. Also, the music is not looping, which probably means that I forgot to set one parameter's value. As it's not a particularly inspiring track I doubt that many of you will miss it ;D
Honestly I thought this had some trick to it so I kept failing the first tutorial, but then I realized it was just exactly like any Tactics game... I was kinda disappointed. Didn't really take much strategy at all, so I was over-thinking it. I don't mean to sound too harsh, it's cool you got a tactics-type game working in 48 hours :D But it would've been really nice to see some twist other than only one turn.
Don't worry about sounding harsh, you don't. And, actually, I agree with you. As it is right now the game is basically a clickfest and you can "solve" the puzzles in a matter of seconds. Their lack of difficulty would make sense as part of a 100, 200+ levels game to teach the basics to the player, but it doesn't work so good with, well, 5.
I do believe that the combination of tactics plus the one-turn twist could work fine as part of a more complete design, though, but to be sure of that I'd have to actually finish implementing that core functionality first. It could be interesting to try it :)
nice idea. it takes a while to figure things out, but i managed to win!
Great game! It would be nice to be able to skip the intro though, but the concept is fun, you just forgot to loop the music... Anyway, good job! :)
Well I like the concept. I mean to me it seems like chess problems, but using tactical RPG-like rules. "Find the optimal way to deal the max damage to the enemy".
That's interestng :) Could have been done better I guess but I like the idea. I wish there were more levels, with a higher difficulty, of course.
Challenging game ! Cool music too !
Good gameplay! However it's so easy ! :D
