Cool concept.  Nicely done!

Developer

Thank you so much! Always nice to hear from other PICO-8-ers!

Loved this concept a lot and it was another one of the games I tried out before I decided to join the jam. The overall gameplay is easy to understand, even without reading the instructions, because the UI does a good job communicating everything.  Great stuff!

I’m really glad you think so! I feared the UI was to vague in some parts, but nice to hear it was considered clean! And always my pleasure if I can inspire someone to dev/join a jam! Your entry was also a banger!

I was looking forward to test you game, I saw you streaming during the development!

And I'm not disappointed :D! You managed to make a complex and deep game, yet simple, following the "1 button" theme of the jam.

I liked the mix of your sprites and pico-8 symbols, it looks nice. The SFX are nice too!

I just have a small bug at the end of the fight, I can't restart the game (either if I win or lose), I have to refresh the page.

Also, have you considered changing the Movepool during the fight? After a certain time or number of uses of a single ability?

Developer

Thanks so much for the kind words! I really messed up the restart function somehow, I could have sworn that I tested it, alas it is stupid bug.

Drafting both for new abilites and upcoming opponents were part of the gdd but I have already overscoped sadly. In the future!

I really like the UI of the different actions (how each one is an icon on a line with a moving cursor), very fun theme too. It's always cool seeing Pico-8 games for trijam :D

Thank you so so much for the kind words! Gotta agree, seeing PICO-8 games on jams is one of my favorite things!
