Would like to see per ranger powers or maybe you have to use the right ranger for an attack to be successful.

This is my favourite interpretation of the theme in all of LD.\n\nThe gameplay however is missing some basic instructions and player feedback, I had no idea what was happening and just mashed buttons and eventually won.

Also that title. I spent like a minute on the first guy hitting him with greens because I figured green is good. After that I tried some reds and beat all the bosses in about 2 seconds each, so I guess reds are actually good.

While the description of the game seemed pretty interesting, I found the actual gameplay a bit confusing. I realize that the red alternatives are the best for dealing damage, but they changed so quick and so often that I didn't really have time to make decisions. For the last enemy I just ended up pressing random directions and won handily, while trying to choose attacks led to the enemy getting closer and closer to attack.\n\nA bug I noticed was that, after playing Team Power without losing any rangers, I chose Team Justice and played again. The pig monster never showed up after its introduction screen, though, and several of the attacks were just labelled \"DEBUG.\"","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"DeathStorm","author_uid":"1009655","time":"2017-08-21T18:53:03Z","epoch":1503341583,"modified":1503341583,"text":"Great job, well done\n\nAn pretty interesting game for such a short perio of time :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"elmismopancho","author_uid":"1034798","time":"2017-08-21T19:23:00Z","epoch":1503343380,"modified":1503343398,"text":"Cool idea and congratulations on finishing your game.\n\nThe execution is a bit lacking, I couldn't understand what each attack did, and I defeated all the enemies just pressing random buttons. Perhaps you could have done some rock-papers-scissors logic, or some cooldown. Also normally on games that use arrows or WASD, these keys normally do the same, so the player con choose which combination to use, if your games uses them as different input, you must make it really clear in your game interface, or that will lead to confusion.\n\nGood job, and looking forward to your next jam.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Almax","author_uid":"1002885","time":"2017-08-21T20:55:02Z","epoch":1503348902,"modified":1503348902,"text":"Didn't fully understand the mechanics, I just spammed buttons and won...

I think that the \"Sentai Hero\" concept match pretty well with the gameplay.\n\nThe implementation of the mechanic, however, is lacking.
