- This game is super fun, the attacks and battle feel good to play. There attacks are varied but would be nice to more shadowy darkness to them. Or a fog of war would be a nice touch.

A tactics style game where you can steal your opponents abilities. The story is about a master alchemist and a young ninja who brave a corrupted forest in order to cleanse it. Completely playable with mouse, though you'll need a keyboard if you want to join the leaderboards.

Had fun with this one all the way through. Nice variety of mechanics. The nullified attacks and different attack shapes especially demanded some strategy to try to win in fewer turns. Great job
Really cool game! I love the graphics. and it's always great to see a tactics game :)
Mewton is really cool, the grid system and the moves are super polished, really like the concept of stealing enemy skills, really nice art too! congratulations
I genuinely can't believe how much is in this. Incredible work by the whole team, you should all be very proud of yourselves. I only wish I could speed up the animations.
Yeah, I think we'll have to add in a 2x speed toggle or something for when you're comfortable with the mechanics.
LimeBlossom shared this game with me on my stream and I really enjoyed it! Awesome job to the team behind the game!
Probably the most impressive tactical combat I've ever seen in a jam. Clever, looks interesting, groovy soundtrack.
Clever design. Fun to play, pretty artstyle, and best of all, a lot of content for a game jam entry!
Good Job!!
Why does the music go so hard?!?!? It's great!
Very fun game and it's amazing how much content is in it! Game design in interesting and there is enough complexity to allow for real strategy in player choices.
UI Feedback: When multiple enemies are attacking a similar area it is difficult to tell which is casting where. This makes it tough to make a smart decision about which enemy to kill/move to be safe
This is my favorite game of the jam! 💯
