This is a fun game, though I admit I didn't get very far in it.  The interface wasn't really explained to me anywhere in the game, so I just found myself plopping runes in the middle slot and hoping I'd survive an encounter.  Most times I did not.

In a turn-based game, the complete lack of audio honestly sort of brutalizes the experience; one unifying theme across every great rpg I've ever played is a killer soundtrack, something to keep my brain busy while I this-or-that my next move.  Super important in this genre.

The art on an asset-to-asset basis is pretty great.  Vibrant colours, mostly cohesive style (the runes feel somehow out of place.  Looking at some screens I took, I think it's the difference in pixel width in the outlines compared to scene elements).  Overall, though, the art is wonderful.

As a summary, not a bad jam entry by any means, just lacking in the "juice" department in a lot of ways to keep me playing through a turn-based game.  Thanks for giving me a game to play!!
