This is so you don't have to think about them in the heat of the moment!  Only being able to control one unit at a time using the mouse gives the game a \"conservation of energy\" requirement, where, when fighting, you need to minimize the amount of time spent selecting your units, mousing across the screen to give them a destination, dragging out special abilities, and especially decision making.  That's why this is a planning game at its core.  Neat combination in a complete package - fun pixel art, works well, cool music.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"YoukaiDrawing","author_uid":"1100005","time":"2018-08-14T08:19:03Z","epoch":1534234743,"modified":1534234743,"text":"I like game concept, but a little off theme.

Works well in the scope of the jam and is really promising if development is continued afterwards. Would be really cool to see some more involved RPG elements if the game is fleshed out.\n\nControls could do with tightening up a bit, I had some issues with giving an adventurer a move command instead of selecting the guy I was trying to select.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"belser","author_uid":"1003211","time":"2018-08-14T16:13:34Z","epoch":1534263214,"modified":1534263214,"text":"Looks good, plays good, and it seems like a pretty much complete vertical slice - nicely done!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"erebus","author_uid":"1041553","time":"2018-08-15T06:44:14Z","epoch":1534315454,"modified":1534315454,"text":"Cool concept!

But it's not really challenging; I could clear the game using only the special powers, always waiting for the cooldown befor moving forward since the enemies weren't that aggressive. \n\nOh and you might want to know that the game crashes if the player click on an enemy that's already being attacked.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"pushxtonotdie","author_uid":"1023075","time":"2018-08-17T14:54:32Z","epoch":1534517672,"modified":1534517673,"text":"Hey all!
