The concept is so cool! It's a game that requires a lot of strategy!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :)

Submitted

Very unique idea! You could add a skill system for upgrading your team after each match.

Submitted

Cool idea for a game!

It could use a tutorial explaining everything. Having some simple graphics and animations for the characters to see how they are doing would add a lot, though of course it would require a lot of time to implement

Submitted

I like the idea, however some tutorial or hints would be usefull as I was mostly just pressing modes without knowing what they do

Submitted

Cool idea! I think it's a interesting and original take on the theme.  ~ Do check mine and give your valueable feedback:D

Interesting concept and pretty well presented.

I think, like a few other people, I needed a bit of a stronger in-game hint about how to play the game, especially because it gives the appearance of playing itself.

Submitted

Is there a game here? After pressing "Start" it just seems to play itself and gives me no more options.

Developer

Hi. You play the game by selecting stances of each individual teammate during phase planing(when red bar appear). That is mentioned in the description ;)

Submitted

There is no indication of how to do such things. Informing the player of this is paramount.

Submitted

Interesting concept and fun gameplay, would need an explanation page about the different options (and maybe a tutorial in addition) but has a lot of potential ! :)

Hey, thanks for feedback :) 

I will surely add a tutorial to the game so there won't be any confusion

Submitted

A cool idea but the game lacks some explanations. But with a proper tutorial and some polish this can be a very fun game!

Submitted

Cool idea! I think it's a interesting and original take on the theme. 

Developer

Thanks :)

I love the Idea of essentially "tactical tug of war" where you hafta manage stats and moves in a turn based setting! I think with more polish and improved art this can be a great product! 

Submitted

This is a really cool concept, with which I had a lot of fun - I love the “strategised whack-a-mole” kind of gameplay between phases. Could do with a touch more info on-screen about what each mode will do, or each “status”, but otherwise I think it’s really impressive you managed to create all this in the time.

Best of luck!

Developer

Hey, thanks for feedback :) I will add some simple tutorial for sure, also tooltips to each status.

managing a whole team at once was a great idea, liked the concept a lot!

Developer

Thanks, I am glad you liked it :)

Submitted

A bit literal with the theme, but I like the gameplay. Reminds me of a small browser game I'd find online and play in the school library :D

Submitted

Cool idea to turn this into a turn based strategy game. <3

If anyone else can't see the entire game switching it to full screen will solve this.

Submitted

Fun game and great take on the theme. Getting to understanding is a bit tough at first, particularly with the rapid time constraints. I do wish the characters were human shapend but obviously that is a minor detail not to worry about during a 48 hour jam. Great job!

Hey, thanks for feedback. Yep I probably was caught up in working out mechanics and AI and didn't have time for better graphics.

I plan to add a better visuals and basic tutorial in post game jam update.

Submitted

Cool Idea! a quick tutorial at the start would help out tremendously!

I love it. Original idea!

I really like these types of strategy games!  Very original.  I really suggest that the graphics be updated -- the UI is overlapping a bit too much with the characters, and it is a bit hard to understanding what is going on.

Overall, really cool concept, just needs some work on the presentation.
