Very fun autobattler.

I enjoyed the gacha aspect of rolling for new units, hoping for a higher rarity one or a dupe to upgrade my team.

The synergies are very nice (still haven't tried them all!) and those unique abilities in the higher rarity units have very cool animations (I love Calli's and Ina's)

I got Kaela in one of my rolls and it's a pity she was not implemented yet. XD

I hope you continue working on this gem of a game after the jam as there's a lot that can be done with so many characters and synergies, as well as more polish on the attack effects and such.

Oh yeah, I hope you also add some setting to make the screen larger (2x zoom for example) and volume controls.

Great game!

This is a really fun game! Is amazing how you were able to include so many characters, and all of her sprites look great, you could easily keep expanding this, since I feel that the gameplay loop is fun, and rewarding.
Aside of some bugs here and there, and balancing issues, which are totally expected considering the 2weeks jam, and the amount of content that is here, you did an amazing job.

The Battle System, Synergies, and the Cast! Kinda solid game! You guys did an amazing job!

There were some annoying bugs like these when i bought Fuwamoco and somehow they were in Fubuki's slot, preventing me to access them until the next round! 

But despite that! Really enjoyed the game! Also the sprites rocked!

You cooked wonders with this little auto-battler! It was pretty satisfying to navigate stages and mix/match lineups to discover all of the effects. Definitely keep cooking this, as I'd love to play a more polished version!

• The game hooked me for a pretty solid amount of time start-to-finish in a similar way to how Super Auto Pets does, so that's a big plus!
• I thought you did a good job with the ambience -- sounds for an early mockup are pretty good, music lines up with stage progression and bosses. Also really enjoy the pixel art style you've adopted for this, even if its an early proto-stage (the characters look great imo!) -- makes me curious to know what they'll all sound like in the end product >:)
• Tooltips with numbers and an improved discovery system for synergies could be great UX improvements for knowing what effects the characters have and can buy!
• You should add a settings menu in, so the player can adjust window / sound settings! It was a pretty tiny window for me...
• I'm not super sure how well-balanced the character abilities are, as I found I was able to first-try clear the game via a frontline of fluffy warriors + Mio and Ame + Botan, and Calli right at the end (wishing Kaela had her stuff up 😭)... they had a ridiculous amount of sustain, but the fact that I had a very hard time deducing how (no concept for health pool size, attack damage / range, etc, since those numbers are hidden from the player except via bars) means that I wonder if there might be room for improvement in giving visible indicators / numbers to the player, if even on tooltip hover-over?
  • -> visible numbers for health, damage, stats do matter a lot, as this is a numbers-go-up sort of game! it satisfies the neuron...
• What is the blue bar that increments for the idols? Is it some kind of ability charge bar? I noticed health pools would go up, but I couldn't exactly tell why / if it correlated... do you think something like a multi-page tutorial "deck" from a main menu could help get the player up to speed?
• I did encounter only one bug during shop mode, which may have to do with how you're handling indexing in the "player hand"...
  • when I sold an idol and bought another, for that round only they would end up in the same slot as another idol, instead of the empty one... rendering that slot unselectable both here in shop, and in the battle phase (surprising! luckily scraped out both fights) -- which then reset to their normal order and became usable again the next shop/battle phase. odd!
• I do wonder how you intend to expand on the stage progression and overall experience to make it more replayable! At the moment, I feel like I could play it a few more times to experiment with the different phases; but it does become pretty easy to rotate builds in later stages with the "economy" stacked up of existing idols you've bought...
  • and to me, there's something missing in the game core... something that exists somewhere in the following two observations:
  • 1) an ever-increasing difficulty curve that matches the potential builds one can divest (you don't see this in e.g. Super Auto Pets, because it is ranked multiplayer combat about finding the most broken build, so that challenge ramps up by itself; and if you fall behind, you lose... this is where a ton of the fun is for those players! it is likely possible to algorithmically scale the enemy pool for a stage (in health/damage output for enemies) to mimic that in this PvE context, based on current idol hand stats...)
  • 2) some system or means to ramp up the scaling potential and increase the potential mixes & matches for synergies beyond the idol traits -- this could be a misguided observation, but I do wonder what exactly is missing here... food for thought, at least!

Beyond the blast of feedback for you here to take or pick apart or reject as you'd like, I had a blast playing it! Thank you very much for submitting to the bakery 🙇‍♂️

Really cool concept for the game! I wander how you managed to think of whole auto-chess system in this short period of time. Although I am not very good in this kind of games i managed to buy random hololive members and managed to only loose once with spamming short-range dps at one place brawlers in from and rest in the back. Also i didn't get until a bit of time the idea of synergies, I think this could be a bit more specified, maybe something like in tft? I also had a problem that i couldn't maximise the game, which kind of sucked because i couldn't read or see some of stuff. 

From the minor things, I found that i can't put back a character once i pick it up, I either need to place it in different spot or place in on the field, and you can add fade in/out on the music so that there isn't such hard transition. But I overall really liked it! 

Very fun autochess game. I ran into a bug where the enemies become invincible so the game ended up in a stalemate.
I don't know if it is in the game somewhere but it would be great if there was a codex or guide that explains effect of certain groups before buying them.

I also found a bug with Watame where she just stands there and do nothing and take hits.

It's impressive to see how much contents it already had especially for a game jam game. As a developer who had develop/play auto-chess game before, I can say the framework is there and it has potential to be a really good indie game. I think many systems can be expended based on this such as upgrade shop, interest, challenge system (eg. increase difficulty this turn for more income), more animation, etc.

I had a lot of fun with this game! It’s impressive to see how much work you put into it in just two weeks. There are a lot of characters, each with unique skills and traits, which opens up plenty of possibilities for team-building. The game is pretty easy at the moment since enemies only come from one direction, and you can stack units on top of each other to deal a lot of damage—but I’m guessing the grid system is still in development?

I see a lot of potential for this as a HoloIndie title, so hope to see more updates!

P.S. I encountered an invincible chicken!

This is a really really fun game. The references to everyone are awesome and honestly I feel like even the placeholder sprites are good enough to be representative of the member. I would really like it if you could right click on a unit before buying them to see what their details are as well. Nerissa turned out to be broken because stun is just that good. Keeping enemies within range of other units makes it so even if I don't level her up she's still an amazing team member.

I also ran into some bugs though. I also ran into the bug Slimjim described where if you sell and buy a unit in the same level sometimes it gets put on the same spot as another unit, making both unusable. I also ran into a crash, and I'll put the error message below. I also noticed that sometimes the enemy counter at the top would go past the maximum, showing something like 20/11 enemies defeated. I think this is where your bug is, since in both the Anya bug he found and my Suisei bug, they were targeting enemies that didn't exist.

Another QoL thing is if you show a unit's details and don't get rid of the text box, it stays on screen during the unit placement and round and you can't get rid of it.

Very fun game though. I can imagine myself spending a lot of time playing this.

Very fun! Hololive AutoChess is a great idea. The game also felt pretty complete for how much I played it. I liked how each talent was in multiple categories, and combining them gave you buffs. I found Darkness to be really fun by basically buffing your team to offset your losses when you lose a unit. The only thing I can really recommend is to show how much a unit cost to buy and sell. 

Some bugs I found was that buying a unit, caused it to be in the same spot as another talent I had, and I couldn't use them until the following round when they separated.  The other bug was maybe Kaela. I bought her, and then in the next round she was gone. After that round though, I did get the below error which crashed the game.
