GAMEPLAY: 3 / 5
I also had problems getting the game to work at first but eventually figured it out.
You need to right-click on the Excel file itself, select "Properties" and then on one of the tabs check the "Unblock" option at the bottom so that it will run the Macros properly.
As for the game, it's fairly intuitive. The Element system made it a bit more interesting.
The pace of combat needs to be faster and it could have been a little more obvious that the map scrolls off the screen.
CREATIVITY: 5 / 5
I mean, you made this in EXCEL. I've heard of others making simple Excel games but to see it done and integrate a version of BASIC was pretty darn cool! And I would argue that some areas might have scored higher if it weren't for the fact that making a game in Excel probably results in a lot of undesired restrictions and limitations.
GRAPHICS / SOUND / POLISH: 3 / 5
The map graphics are ok, but the battle graphics are quite a bit better. This game reminds me a lot of an old NES game I used to play -- The Immortal. I also appreciate how large the graphics were so I wasn't squinting at my screen from 2 inches away.
INTERPRETATION OF THEME AND COMPLETENESS: 5 / 5
I think this is the only game in the Jam that utilizes all 3 themes.
