Fun game! Just played and rated. Thanks! :)

Really polished cute game! It took me a few tries to get the hang of it (I don't think I've played the original before) but I slowed down a bit and it was really fun. :D. The graphics and audio were great - well matched to the game. Nice work, I enjoyed this!

Thanks :) Rated yours a few days ago - great game!

Hi - thanks for playing and reviewing! I've played and rated your game too. Nice work!

I enjoyed your game, thanks! I'm a big fan of turn based games like these. Visually very polished (especially the menu screen) and the sound was well matched to the game. I enjoyed the variety of different approaches and forms your worms and the elements could take and the depth of strategy. The game itself is unique and innovative. I would suggest giving some visual feedback when some moves are not possible (eg when the attack target is too far away) (we went for changing the cursor icons in our game but I'm sure there are other ways). Congratulations on making such a complex and innovative game in 1 month!

Hi, I really wanted to play your game but I don't have Windows, just Linux (though some of the Windows-only games have worked for me via Wine but not this one). It looks like a fun game so I'd be happy to play a Linux build if you have one!

Especially if you like short (<10 min), turn-based games, voice-over, mythology, perks or hexagons!

Play Mythic Battles and pop your link below for a rate/review swap. Either my team mate (mhm32167) or I will be rating/reviewing :)

Let us know if you'd like thoughts on anything specific about your game too.

Thanks for sharing - I've just rated and commented. Found it super addictive. Clever idea to suggest the two player option too. I need to find a friend and come back to it!

Feel free to try our game, Mythic Battles: https://sage7.itch.io/mythic-battles-judgement-of-gods. :)

This is very addictive! I found it very challenging to think about poor Guido and my snake at the same time but I did improve with practice (it's addictive enough to want to keep trying :). I thought the music and sound effects were well matched to the game. I like that you could lose in different ways - makes it suitably challenging (eg get eaten, hit a wall etc). I would suggest making it slightly easier to start with. I will try to find a second player and come back to it! Nice work!

I got some portal vibes with this game (I haven't played superliminal)! Love the puzzles in room concept. The scaling was fairly easy to get the hang of after 1 or 2 tries and I thought your theme interpretation is very clever. I loved the creepy atmosphere and the visuals and some additional audio could enhance this. Great game, nice work!

Wow. The sense of humour drew me in from the start. There's so much to enjoy in this game - great level design, interesting puzzles from the start, distinct characters, audio and sound effects is fantastic, the different environments were really well integrated into the whole game. Really enjoyed this, nice work!

Fun game! I enjoyed the crafting and the battle simulation and the fact that you've done something unique with this game. Nice work :)

Had a lot of fun playing your game. With the scale theme, this is a great idea for a topic. Scaling down scope is hard!

In previous jams, I tend to make the mistake of jamming as many features as possible... at the expense of polish! Trying to change that these days!

Our team of two made Mythic Battles, a turn-based based battle game based on Mesopotamian mythology and inspired by games like HOMM3.

Features that made it: Voiced story, god-given boons, spells, 3 levels, hex-based battle grid, enemy AI

I would love to finish the game so here are some future features hopefully: 8 more levels to finish the story, elements on the map to add more strategy to battles, more spells and boons to unlock, more animations (eg hurt, casting etc).

Beautiful polished game, nice work. My game came second making it my most successful jam entry haha! Music was well matched to the game. How to play is intuitive. Very nice work!

Hello fellow Godot dev! Very fun puzzle game and good use of scaling - the scale gun is a great idea! My only constructive feedback was going to be about the jump but I see others have already noted this (could variable jump or double jumps be a solution?) :). I thought the game looked very polished with a good variety of puzzles and obstacles. The hints are nicely paced. I personally liked the control scheme. Great level/puzzle design. Well done!

I enjoyed this! I thought the puzzles were really well designed and controls were pretty intuitive. I was a bit too trigger happy with my gun and kept destroying my box but its good that the level restarts very easily. Very clean design too. I think a double jump/variable jump would have helped me with some of the platforms. Very innovative and great implementation of the theme. Nice work!

This is a very clever puzzle game. And made with Godot I think (mine is too!)?  Nice work. I like the relaxing background music and the innovative game idea. Integration of the theme is also very good. Quite an addictive game. Nice work!

I've just rated and commented on your game. Very nice work! Would love some rating/feedback on ours :)

Thanks!

Beautiful game - love the art. The music went well with the game too. I thought the frequency of checkpoints was perfect and it was well balanced - challenging enough. The additional mechanics were interesting and I enjoyed the variety of enemies abilities. My only other thought was about combat indicators but I see others have made this comment :). Overall, I really enjoyed this game and found myself playing for a while so well done!

Very creative puzzles. I loved the visuals too. And I was pleasantly surprised to see a new mechanic after a few levels. Nice work! I'll come back to this and I hope you expand it.

Ah a fellow game with spells! I enjoyed this! The variety of powers (incl raising the dead) was satisfying to use. I found it easier to play using the tab function so I'm glad you added that. The graphics suited the game and gave it a mystical feel. Nice work!

This game was so much fun. One of those games I could play for a long time. I really like the hints and tips and tutorial elements as I found I could just enjoy the game without trying to remember any unusual controls. Lots of great attention to detail with the art and environment too. I had trouble maximising the game screen but I think it might just be my browser issue perhaps (Firefox). Oh and I thought the interpretation and integration of the theme into game play was v clever. Well done!

Fun game and well executed! It was relaxing to play and the music and graphics were perfectly matched in my opinion. It took me a second to get used to the controls but I got the hang of it after one level I think. Nice work!

Thanks so much for playing! Yes it was all original - the 2d sprites are based on 3d models. I modelled and painted the characters in Blender first, then animated it with Mixamo, then, in Blender, rendered the animations in 6 directions to make the 2d animations. I had originally planned to make enough characters for 10 levels but I only had time for 3 levels. It was still quite a lot of work though! We are a team of 2 - I did the art, audio, and story and my team mate did the programming. Thanks for your feedback! :)

Thanks for your feedback! Shame about the solar flare crash (and burn lol), I'll look into it! We were inspired by the battles in Heroes of Might and Magic 3. I really enjoy turn based combat so will check out Endless legends/Humanity. Thanks for playing!

I thought the difficulty was good! I took a few tries too but didn't quite reach zero! :)

Nice and chill game with a unique concept! Nice work. Beautiful cover art too - that drew me in.

This game is so satisfying and really well polished. I really enjoyed it. Nice work - thanks!

Hi there! Good idea - thanks! I'm checking out yours now. :)
Here's ours: https://sage7.itch.io/mythic-battles-judgement-of-gods

I played both characters solo - really addictive. I thought the controls/movement worked really well and the puzzles are clever. Thanks!

Woohoo, I made the leaderboard! Really fun. Played a few times. It took me a second to figure out I had to hold down fire for it to shoot. Loved the audio and graphics too. Thanks! Oh one thing - might be worth adding a little notification about scoring high enough to make the leaderboard (unless I missed it). Nice work!

The artwork drew me in. Nice work. Good storytelling too - it made me feel very immersed. I also liked the interpretation of the theme. Enjoyed this. Thanks!

Beautiful game. The good and bad deeds made me laugh! Nice idea - fun game. Thanks! :D

Enjoyed this - very polished and enjoyable game play. The light and dark scale is very clever. Thanks!

I really enjoyed this game and played it till the end. Will come back to this and play again with different choices - certainly replayable. I enjoyed the narrative and the artwork too and the overall presentation is very polished. Thanks and nice work!

Thank you! There are supposed to be about 8 more battles to finish off the story but we ran out of time :). We are planning to complete it though. Thank you for the comment and for playing! :)

This made me chuckle - good idea and interpretation of the theme! It took a second to get used to the movement but it was a good challenge. Enjoyed the mini games too.

I loved this game. The painting style is stunning and the character anims were really well done. Really felt magical (the audio added to the magical atmosphere too). I did like the contrast between the room art and the painting as it gives off a "step into a painting" feeling. Clever theme interpretation too.

This is such a beautiful chill game. The audio is great and well matched to the atmosphere. I enjoyed the dialogue too. Nice work.

Good work - I like the start up and the atmosphere. I think I had about 20 seconds left on my score!
