I really like the idea, and editing a gamefaq page was fun
I'm not sure if I ran into a bug, but the edits don't really seem to affect the behaviour all that much, or they keep getting overriden by other lines in the guide.
So the 3 options don't feel very impactfull and I would love either more options or a clearer impact on the npc behaviour
Thanks for checking our game out!
You're right, there's a bug in the game where the old 'default' instructions don't get wiped properly, so the raiders always keep the original strategy in mind regardless of any changes.
We released a post-jam version of the game where this bug is resolved, feel free to check it out here!

Really creative take, had a good laugh at the healers failing boss mechanics :P Good stuff!
Kul idé! Hade svårt att förstå hur man ändrade strategin riktigt, fick mest errorljud på allt jag tryckte på. Tror det hade blivit fint med en enklare första bana för att förstå kontrollerna.
What a funny concept! I unfortunately had issues where the mouse cursor seemed to drift away from where my actual pointer was, though this most likely was a problem on my end and not the developers' side. I think the concept is creative, and it would appeal to someone more inclined to strategy than action.
Thank you! Our idea was that it should feel more like a puzzle than an action challenge
The pointer is not a you-issue I'm afraid, that's one of many (oh so many) bugs that were left unresolved before the time was up
Understandable, the deadlines seem to go so fast when you're on the clock... Hopefully a post-jam update can remedy it!
We got back to the game again this morning and with a fresh set of eyes we figured out that the game was missing a whooping 3 lines of code which was breaking the entire game, but that's game jams for you.
We've now got a post-jam version if you want to check it out for the intended gameplay. We're intending to further update later down the line, happy raiding!

Hey guys this is XXFellhawk StudiosXX and this is my guide on how to beat "Slaves to the Meta"...
Careful, you might get a dragon DDOSing your account
Really fun idea, but I'm not big brain enough to have a good time playing it, because I just see too many words and my mind melts.
