The stamina draining is a cool idea, but it would be fun if they regenerated a bit so you wouldn't get messed up by having no available stamina left. Maybe I'm just playing too fast, but I never saw it regenerate except between waves.

It does kinda feel like I'm just one person who's switching their weapon though, as opposed to three people working together. Could there be some way to help differentiate them through movement? Like maybe the wizard teleports, the knight is slow cuz armor, etc.?

We tried to make sure they all had pretty good offensive abilities so it didn't feel like you had to wade through the other characters to get back to the character with the highest DPS, but I definitely think with more playtesting we could have helped them settle into more of a distinct role. Currently they are supposed to be Warrior: High Damage, but you need to get close, Ranger: Med-High Single Target damage, but not much spread, Mage: Medium Damage, but has AOE effects so it's better at crowds. Thank you for taking the time to play the game and leave some feedback. We appreciate it alot

very tricky game, the playstyle it entails is fairly interesting

Interesting idea! I liked the shared health and how the stamina forces you to play all types. Hard game but it's fun and interesting. Nice work.

It was a pretty fun game. I can't get past wave 4. I really like the main idea of having the different characters each have a cooldown, but it feels a lot like a shooter game with three guns that have their own ammo clips. Super good concept, but maybe make the character have different used rather than different attacks. Like a defensive character, and attack character, and a movement character or something like that. Great game.

Developer

Yeah we definitely could have leaned more into the roles, but we didn't have a dedicated artist on the team so a lot of balancing time went to asset making. Thank you for taking the time to play our game though we appreciate it alot!

I love it! the art style  is so adorable and it's just full of character, and each character has so many abilities!

A surprising amount of strategic depth in a jam game!
