It's like a polished game but this is just a demo. I would love to see a story, core loops and more content. Amazing mechanics, well done!

This game felt really polished and was fun playing. Was hooked and would keep playing more levels.
I also liked the clarity a lot. Could learn the game within the first minute without even needing a tutorial.

Good Job!

My first all-fives rating for this game jam! For me the stand-out quality of this game was clarity. Since player characters and enemies follow the same rules, and the interface tells you the attack/defense of them all, it feels like you can start making tactics decisions right away. Yet there's still a fun sense of discovery as you figure out exactly what the different ultimates do and get a sense of how far away you can keep your squishier allies. Nice work!

This is really good. I loved the distinct yet simple move sets for each character, and the enemies were all on point. The Art, Music and Story are all so good! The SFX produces a nice, gentle feedback for whenever you land a hit, or take a one. I fully enjoyed myself for the short time I played the game!

Amazing!
The level is short but doing this on pico8 in 3 days is outstanding! 

Bravo!

Wow, super neat game! It was very easy to pick up, and brought back a lot of memories of turned based strategy games! The art and music was very nice! I think if there were more effects for attacks it'd be even cooler, or maybe just elongating them since some of the animations go by pretty fast. Regardless, great job!
