Adding talent trees to a jam game is no simple feet haha, sick entry

best game i've played so far! i wish there was more to it, maybe continue adding to this game, very cool!

Enjoyed the game, really simple. I liked the reward items after each wave. Has some depth and could be a good full fledged game with enough time. Cool graphics too!

This is great! Really like the concept

Super cute game!! I could TOTALLY see this as a full game. I love that it's an idle-ish game but with some real-time strategy to it! Love that you could get items and level up, and that the allies got stronger and (seemingly?) equipped items! If you wanna go all out, it would be cool if there were shops and stuff to go to in-between dungeons. Loved it so much!

Great game, cool idea, good execution. Enjoyed the variety of upgrades and items. Would have liked more variety in skills from the get go. Well done!

Nicely done! I enjoyed it, not too complicated but not to simple either. A great job on getting a good balance/feel to the game without making it too much.

Hey this was quite a bit of fun! Really captures that HP whack o' mole of MMO healers. I do wish I could move the character, as that seems to add a bit too much difficulty RNG to any given wave, but it really is a fun game to play.

@cyzaine I wanted to add walking around, but I ran out of time. The level is just a background image.

Smoke and mirrors... haha

the game was confusing to me in the first time, but I got it eventually I like the strategie/planning element here and the Boomer fighter lol, nice work

fun game, it took me a bit to understand how to handle everything but once I did it became quite enjoyable. Once the team ran "off" the screen for me, but they soon came back so it was alright. Adding different skills shows impressive depth to the game, well done

10/10, the IA of the party is so limited... It almost feel like a real MMO ! (Jokes ahead, the game is simple but fun, but i must ask, is the loot "usable" ?)

very cool game, quite difficult, good job!

hechi 2022-04-06 17:09

The game concept is really original, so funny. I would like to see it in the future with more features. Great work :smile:

played it for way to long. tool tips would be nice and a way move the character. more lvl ups would aso be nice.

Very interesting with way more content to expect from a jam game! Good job! I only wanted some more feedback about my team while playing like standarized blue vs red hp bars.

Wow, I play healers in MMOs and this does a good job of simulating the feeling of trying to keep your team alive :P

allax 2022-04-12 18:32

I don't understand how to play

malero 2022-04-12 19:18

@allax It seems like people that haven’t played MMOs similar to WoW have a hard time understanding it. There’s a skill bar at the bottom. You start with a lesser heal skill that’s bound to your Q key. Select team members that are getting low on health and heal them by pressing Q. You will get gear and level up and you just try to get to the highest stage you can.

@clue I play healer a lot in MMOs. For better or worse, I tried to make it as close to the real thing as possible haha

I used to play healers a lot in MMOs, so I did find this game a lot of fun. The variety of choice for skill ups was nice. I was a bit confused on if the items actually did anything. I also wish it was a bit more obvious when an enemy was attacking a character. It's a little confusing when the characters are kind of mashed together. Otherwise though, the game was well made. Fantastic job on this!
