This game is pretty amazing. I really liked the strategic aspect to it.
What I liked:
1. Absolutely beautiful visuals
2. Music and sound effects are very polished
3. The gameplay was challenging, but didn't feel unfair
4. The emphasis on the combo meter to be able to beat more powerful enemies was well implemented
What I didn't like:
1. While the art style was gorgeous to look at, the enemies' colors felt a bit off, and a bit out of place with the rest of the palette
Other things and suggestions:
1. I think the way the game implemented the theme more wasn't the combo meter itself, but rather, the combination of attacks that the player selects to match those of their current enemy.
To be fair, I'm having a hard time finding criticism for this game, and I know my dislike point is more of a nitpick, but that usually means that you did a very good job making this game.
Great work, keep it up
Very cool gameplay and very nice pixel art, everything looks great!
Let all who stand before me fall! Great entry! My favorite from the jam so far. I had a bit of a tricky time figuring out what you were talking about in the instructions, but with some trial and error I got the hang of it. Good stuff :D
Really fun game, I like the combat system
This might be my favorite entry out of many, this was so fun! Seeing different animations being perform and sounds filling the room with epicness was amazing. And the dialogue at the end got me a chuckle as I realized it all. One thing I would say is probably being able to change cards would be nice, as sometimes I would be like "oh wait lets use this one", but then its too late. But that's a tiny issue as the game is great!
