Game's take on the theme
Both the team itself, and some of the bosses are makeshift. The team can't work together right, will hit each other with weapons, and can't move through each other's spaces. The bosses are currently recovering from the efforts of previous heroes: And thus weaker than normal.
Does your game utilize the PlusMusic plugin?
Nope. Please note that though that the music was 3rd party through a creative commons license- credits are on the game page.
Did you use any third-party plugins other than PlusMusic?
Nope.

great aesthetic but i had trouble with understanding the controls. music and art is good but I dont know whats going on with the movements and attacks. Good job! hope to see an updated version soon.
Thanks for reviewing! Feedback and control systems are one of the main focuses of the update hehe- though it won't be dropping for awhile. Glad you enjoyed it!
the visual are very good but some animation could have helped understand better the game, don't get me wrong the controls are very easy to grasp and works quite well, I wasn't just sure at the beginning if I was damaging the bosses ahaha Overall a very good entry with a lot of potential, Good job!
Heya! Yeah animations and better attack ui with improvements to the control system is hopefully on the way hehe. Thanks for the review!
Visuals are beautiful and music fits perfect! It's a very unique way to enter this jam. You can improve the way to explain the mechanics and systems, it will make people fall in love with your game faster. Good work!
Thanks! Yeah this was more of a tech demo than anything. The eventual update will have a better tutorial section + improved control to make things a bit more clear- thanks for reviewing!

Please Vote My Game A Five Star I Need It!
I voted you five stars in every criteria.
Great game, but it would be better if I could move around with the camera and a little more animation :/
Thanks for playing, and for the feedback! There was actually camera movement, but it had to be disabled in the last week for gamebreaking issues. Definitely taking the animation requests into account tho too.
I was Lured by the beautiful cover art, of course the game turned out very good too, with very solid gameplay, I especially admire the artstyle, good job!
What a great game! You needs some work to make it more fluid and understandable but this is my kind of ****! I love the design too! It may need some animations though.
Heya! thanks much for playing, and for the feedback- I'm definitely working on that. Weirdly, the no animations was actually a choice and not a constraint- they'll meant to call back to paper dnd tokens, but I'm definitely thinking of at least adding some idles in haha
Even simple animations. It'll give a bit more life. At least some effect for the attacks.
The visuals and music are definitely the highlight of this game, I love the sprites and how its used reminds me of paper mario games. Definitely would prefer if what happened in a single turn was communicated more clearer though.
Heya! the music was creative commons (info in the game page credits), and it was definitely at least a little inspired by paper mario hehe. thanks for playing, definitely looking into the feedback systems.
Awesome art and I can tell it's a really cool concept - the lack of feedback lets the game down a lot, it's really difficult to tell what's happening, who got hurt, who's dead, who's turn it is, etc..! Lots of potential!
Heya! Yeah I'm definitely taking that into account for the post jam update- thanks for the feedback!
wow the game mechanic is so unique ! Good job ! Rated !
