I'm winning and then I'm losing and then I'm winning again! Very exciting roller coaster of a game!
I love the games that have you swapping roles within the game, rather than swapping roles to make the game. Good submission!
You really need to think about how your choice will affect how the match goes. Very well done!
Thanks for playing!
strategy in this game is on next level! very interesting approach
Thank you!
Great game to play, I hade nice time :)
Glad you enjoyed the game!
It takes a bit to get the hang of it but once you do it is really fun! Good job!
Thank you!
I had thought of such a concept and could not get it to work in my head. But this is a stunning realisation of it. The strategies to find are nice little puzzles and you feel clever finding them.
And the final boss music is excellent
I'm glad you enjoyed our game!
Cool concept. I didn't really click with the strategy though, cannot get past (presumably) the final boss for the life of me. Still, neat idea and cool that you managed to make it work and include three fights.
For the final boss, the strategy is to waste his heal as the first action (unless he casts inferno, in which case you cast it again on yourself and then status swap it). You want to keep Better You on fire since he will out-damage you otherwise. When he uses purify, cast fire on yourself and then swap the statuses. If you get lucky with the RNG, you don't even need to use Hiro's heal, but this strategy is consistent enough that you should win every time with it as long as you can adapt to some variations in the RNG.
Here is a video for reference:
Neat
Great concept and execution! It was a bit of struggle, but in a fun way.
Cool game!
This is awesome, but I'm confused about "struggle" in logs. Looks like sometimes it replaces my action, even when I act as myself. Can you explain how it works? In other aspects this is perfect
If you attempt you use a move you have 0 charges of (the number to the left of the name) you'll use struggle instead. The opponent character will also use struggle if it has no valid moves (0 charges on all moves, ignoring status swap and restore as the opponent never chooses those). In hindsight there are a few mechanics that probably should have been explained better in-game (oops). Thank you for the kind words and feedback!
At least, how it should be working barring any bugs
Wow, I didn't even notice any numbers except health haha
I have no ideas how I won.. lol
but fun nonetheless!
if you don't know what you're doing, neither does your opponent (also you)
genius strats right there
fun stateg
Woah, great concept! And well executed, too, As if you play chess by yourself, switching sides. Yet, there is someone else who makes actions on the other side. Would be happy to see a full version!
Overall, a great jam game. If you are looking into expanding the concept into something more, look into adding some kind of intent for the enemy/yourself when you are not in that body since something is going to happen and by not knowing what you cant really strategize that much. Again, great work.
runic dome is good bro i swear
Joking aside, thank you for the feedback! :)
