How does your game fit the theme?
You've joined a random group for a dungeon crawler. The only problem is you're the healer and the whole team is just the worst and totally out of control. You have no control over the Tank constantly pushing too far ahead, or the gear crazed rogue running off for some loot, or the DPS warrior going afk to grab some pizza. Do your best to keep this team alive and make it through this procedural generated dungeon adventure.

I like the idea and the atmosphere, but I wasn't really sure what the goal was. I went around healing my party members, but nothing beyond that really happened.

The premise is hilarious and its amazing how many features are in the game for it being made in 2 days. Great job!

As support main this game speaks volumes. I like the premise very much and would like to see some feedback loops improved on as this could become a very interesting game!

I could not find one of my dying party members for instance so a map would be great.

I also like it a lot that the reward slots are left blanc referring to the ungratefullness of being a healer. is that on purpose? Or am I reflecting my own support experiences on this game too much?

For a gamer, this is a totally relatable premise lol

Here are my thoughts:

the camera move speed could be faster, or like LOL, move screen when your cursor is in the edge of the screen(though this sounds like a pain in the ass to code)

It's a great choice to pick the support class. I think you can add skills that manipulate enemies or teammates, in terms of position or other things that have instant feedback. Healing like what you did  do provide such effect. First ability on the other hand, I could not understand its functions, maybe adding damage numbers would make the feedback stronger.

The main appeal can be the challenge in timing your abilities to sync with the assault of your teammates.

All in all, potential game.  I guess with longer jam time, it could be more polished.

This is quite the funny twist on an arpg!

Really funny idea. I would love an indication of where my party members are, especially as healer. Maybe clicking on their name can snap the camera to them for a few seconds? An indication of spells would be nice too, or perhaps you could just cut them and have each party member have one general action that you would expect of a character of that class.

Has potential to be a really interesting maze/indirect tactical rpg format, would've helped to have some indication which way to head as party members got more hurt. Maybe a cry for help? Thanks for submitting!

Interesting concept, good presentation and variety of spells. Would be nice to have the camera move slightly faster. Keep up the good work 馃憤
