First, a few minor picks:
* I wasn't quite sure if the bones I picked up were better than what I already had - I was afraid of leaving behind my old gear since I didn't know what, say, a Gnome Leg did differently than my Human Leg. * I also noticed a distinction between Strength and Magic stats that I got a bit confused about, but conveying information like that can be understandably cut for a game jam game. * The map nodes became blocked by the red X after clearing them and made them a bit harder to read * It was also a bit unclear to see which map nodes were reachable from other nodes at a glance * I wish it had audio :(
Next, good stuff. Oh I had fun with this one. I immediately recognized similarities with the Slay The Spire but that's a very good thing - it plays really well!! The flavor text and card varieties add a LOT to the game, they informed a lot of my choices (Elf = bad). It looks very charming as well, I like how other skeletons are combined in lots of silly ways. The backdrop and maps look very nice too!! I just beat it with Centaur Legs, an Orc Magi (I think?) chest, and a Champion's Skull. Just the fact that it's beatable is a really great achievement for this game jam! Good job 👍
