Very well made! I would like a better reason to use commands other than Attack and Heal, but aside from that, it’s quite fun!

Cool game. But there are not reason to use move or patrol. Completed using two comands - attack and heal.

lovely execution on the theme

The art is quite nice! A good amount of difficulity - i was so close to getting him - he had a slither of health left! Nicely done.

Quite liked it and I beat the game, a few nitpicks would be there are bugs like if you send two units with the same speed to move at the same time and they have to go through a 1 tile corridor, they will get stuck and not move, at all, and a few other wonky stuff with the pathfinding

Really good idea with great presentation. I loved everything, but maybe there should be some indicator or pause when turn has ended. Great game. :)
