8-Colors Star Guardians - a turn-based, boss-gauntlet RPG with a Mega Man twist

For the 8-colors game jam, I have created and released 8 colors Star Guardians, a turn-based RPG with a Mega-Man-inspired loop: You have to defeat 8 bosses (+1) by forming a party of 3 out of your 5 playable characters. Each boss drops one skill for one or more characters upon defeat and needs a precise combination of skills and party members to maximize the chances of success.

There are currently two game modes: A more relaxed Story Mode, with a little bit of dialogue and no hard game over conditions, and a survival-style Arcade Mode, with a turn limit. After beating or being defeated by a boss in story mode, the characters will share a little bit of lore and background information, including hints on how to defeat certain monsters.

"8 colors Star Guardians" combines Mega Man's "choose your boss order", Power Rangers/super sentai aesthetic, a little bit of Sailor Moon in terms of premise and all-female cast, a turn system reminiscent of Final Fantasy X's CTB, a bunch of dysfunctional party members and some kaiju flavor. I had a lot of fun building it, and I am happy about the final result! If you try it out, let me know your opinions on it!
