I saw that your group wanted additional feedback on the discord post jam, this is an interesting auto battler which seems challenging to have made in a week! This game could really use some animations to make sense of what's going on in the battles, because otherwise it's a little hard to tell. I did win, but I felt it was pretty easy to do so, it's hard to say what to do to improve this aspect but I would maybe simplify items & abilities and increase the difficulty. Also next time you do a jam I would recommend making a web-build which you can make with pygame using pygbag/pygame wasm or using a python like tool like Godot & GDScript which has web exports. Making a web build significantly increases plays and reviews from my experience.

Cool auto-battler especially with the random equipment.
The sprites also look good!

This game was fun! Reminded me of "Areena" games somewhat. I didn't make it through night 12, but my tactical skills are pretty bad. Sprite work and art were also on point!

I ran into several bugs unfortunately. The game had an exception error when I tried to do the tutorial. I selected an item before I put any players on my team and the game freaked out and froze. Also I got to the point wher I had like 14 people in my party and they were getting killed by the enemy, but they just stayed on the map and blocked my other players from getting to the enemy and finishing the battle, had to hard quit out of the game alos :( . The gameplay was intriguing though. I really enjoyed the play of the game and powering up my team, however it really needed more balance as it seemed that I could just keep adding team members and defeating enemies.

Hi, thanks for giving our game a try.

Could you tell me more about the exception error and the problem with the item selection?
