As much as we would like to take all the credit for bringing 100% new ideas to the table, we did take a lot of inspiration from a game called SNKRX. I highly recommend checking that game out if you enjoyed this (we have a link to the steam page of it on the itch page). It goes down a more rogue-like autochess route, and if you can gather the basics you'll be spending tons of time on it, it's very addictive >:D
Thanks for the feedback~!
