I was interesting how you communicate so much info with the jam restrictions, I enjoyed it and was hooked, wanted to continue playing it for more time. Didn't got the spooky part so much but in general was great.

One of my favorites of the jam, no doubt! Had a lot of fun experiment with team combinations and placements around the board. Love how you integrated Halloween staples and made each creature type feel unique.

Graphics are just the right balance of simple enough to be read at a glance and detailed enough to give each creature its own distinct look.

As for gameboy-ish-ness, this feels right at home in the format. Even though it's emulating a more modern genre (autochess), it brought me right back to playing Pokemon TCG on the gameboy, or the casino minigames of the mainline Pokemon series.

Incredible job!

EDIT: forgot to post my winning team:  "whoops, all ghosts"

This is incredible.  There are too many cool touches to mention.  I played through twice and it’s hard as hell but really fun.  Great art, great sound, great concept, rated this really high, well done!

Strong concept and addictive gameplay! Even though i wasn't very good at it...

That was really good, but also really complex. Got my butt kicked by the AI. I guess I don't know how to autochess.

The soundtrack rocks!

Very strong game boy vibe.  Also revealed itself to be deeper than I expected.

Very addicting, also the music getting more intense as the game went on is a nice touch. Great job!

Complex gameplay (some things might need a little explanation). Nice graphics. Great music. Well done!
