There was some trial and error to figure out how the controls and battle system works. There's far more strategy in the battle system than I initially thought. Once I figured everything out, I really enjoyed playing.  The graphics were a good choice for the genre... like old GameBoy or handheld LCD games where you train\/fight\/take care of something.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I did think of a few suggestions, but they're most polish-related (e.g. the spritefont spacing was a bit distracting).  One thing I definitely would suggest is some kind of basic starter guide?  It would probably help new players get up and running a bit easier.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's probably my favorite of your LD games.  Plenty of potential if you wanted to continue working on it.  Also, I respect the fact that you choose interesting\/uncommon genres of games to make in LD."},{"author_name":"donan","author_uid":"22213","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 8:06pm","epoch":1429560060,"text":"It felt a little random at first but its really addictive :D"},{"author_name":"broknecho","author_uid":"45690","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 6:22am","epoch":1429597020,"text":"Nice entry.

It feels like you thought about the systems and how they affected each other, I could tell that things weren't random, although it was just a little difficult to figure out exactly what was best to do.  It was good when I got into it, there was a battle where both the sirkles had low HP but had run out of stamina, and it was quite tense just hitting wait until I had enough to finish off my opponent."},{"author_name":"Taldius","author_uid":"12650","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 11:47pm","epoch":1429746120,"text":"The game is fun, and I really like the tamagotchi style.

The music is really cute too! I would download that. I killed all my Sirkled sadly, I cried. But you should still work on this game. Add more personality to the actions and give more stuff to do with intermatches perhaps trade them or customize."},{"author_name":"Dorgam","author_uid":"52637","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:22pm","epoch":1429827420,"text":"I tried to refresh the game when I failed but I couldn't replay all data was saved.

You get a maximum for mood for capturing that old Gameboy-esque feel.

Is quite similar to other games but the loop is so simple and addictive, I played for like an hour, ended up with 6 5 4 6 5 stats. I used the money you get for dying as an exploit though. Great job nonetheless. Would love to play it on my phone XD.\r<br\/>Cheers"},{"author_name":"LukeZaz","author_uid":"36267","time":"Apr 29, 2015 @ 1:13am","epoch":1430269680,"text":"Good game.

Nice graphical consistency.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If you work on it in the future, a few suggestions:\r<br\/>1.  Music does not seem to loop smoothly in some case(s).\r<br\/>2.  Part of the battle theme reminds me of a Pokemon low-HP jingle, which made me wonder if I was low HP, haha.\r<br\/>3.  Prices all around seem quite expensive.  Having to pay for healing between fights was probably the most annoying part of this, but even single-stat point upgrades seemed to cost hundreds.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If you tuned some of that stuff and added a game around it (perhaps not as huge and complex as Pokemon of course :P) it could be pretty cool!"}],"images":["ld32\/5250-4a64435b7694f4c7604f0f42a01623ad.jpg","ld32\/5250-b872ab7d1dcbc2a4cfbd045d2335d7f1.jpg","ld32\/5250-90c2659cce5e59909ee86594e361358a.jpg","ld32\/5250-26993a7cbcdba94aa52399483fd86407.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/kyatric.com\/game\/ld32\/index.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/kyatric.com\/game\/ld32\/Sirkles_LD32.capx","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"12550","g_author":"5250","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"12580","g_title":"Sirkles","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"512","g_commentcount":"21","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/5250-shot0-1429476076.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/5250-shot1-1429476076.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/5250-shot2-1429476076.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/5250-shot3-1429476076.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Use Sirkles to fight for you in the arena.\r\n\r\nMake money to cure and improve them, or even hire better ones.\r\n\r\nPlay this HTML5 game made with Construct 2 entirely with the mouse or Touch input on supporting devices.\r\n\r\nFullscreen button is in the top-left corner of each page.\r\n\r\nBe sure to leave feedback and enjoy.","title":"Sirkles"}
