I’m a big fan of mechanics where you get persistent buffs when restarting things, so the gems are right up my alley. I also really like the unconventional style (football helmet and bat over helmet and sword) and IMO you have one of the better menus I’ve seen so far in this jam (I pretty quickly figured out what everything was)
For constructive criticism, I think the movement can be a bit slow, feels like only every other key press gets registered. I also think (haven’t done much testing) the potions cache a move or something, because whenever I drink one I move two tiles on the next turn EDIT: one more thing, if you kill two enemies on top of each other and one drops say a helmet and the other drops a potion, you can never pick up the potion bc you’ll keep switching helmets
