Really nice and simple game! I feel some sort of indication of either where enemies can move, or if enemies can kill you on the next turn would be great. In later waves, the amount of enemies would be a little too much to keep track of where each one moves.

I tried the upgrade where enemies avoid the firelight and killed an enemy that was half covered by the firelight, but was killed right after that, not sure if the entire tile needs to be covered by firelight for the upgrade to work.

The font also seems a little too big for the upgrades, making the words hard to read as they’re split to a different line many times.

You get to see a Censor v0.6.0 on game over if you have the game in full screen, not sure if this was intended.

Odd , haven't encountered that before. Unfortunately I had two backgrounds, the censor and the black color from it, and I wanted to export with the back bg so it didn't look as buggy if it showed up but time pressure got me and I forgot :[

As far as the firelight power I tried to make it clear where the firelight was (3 tiles squared) and if I had more time I was going to add a particle effect on tiles with "firelight" when you have Wards. Also, pieces avoid it typically but will break this rule if it kills you on that move. This was not obvious enough which was an oversight :(

As far as the font I used PICO-8's regular size which is cramped but legible. I considered using the puny font instead but it's just  much harder to read.

And finally, as far as an indication on where to move I had considered it as a feature or even a card but I ultimately decided that it makes the game too trivial.

Thanks for playing, and for the excellent feedback :>

Hope to see it updated! Perhaps a font size change for the PICO-8 could work? It doesn’t have to be too small, just enough for most text to be in the same line without hyphens

After the jam I'm going to move the descriptions to horizontal bubbles when you hover over the card, giving them more space and the cards can have a picture
