Main issue is that I kept hitting a bug where I'd attack right near the end counter and it would skip my turn and also still take another turn.
It would be good to indicate in the game what attack and defence do. I can see little icons, and it looks like attack adds a multiplier to damage and 2 defence blocks entire attacks. Nice work!
Noice entry, keep it up! :thumbsup:
I did wish there was some light bgm, even if a simple one.
The concept is fun, and the abilities are well designed to make it work properly.
It felt a bit slow sometimes, maybe swapping more often could be nice for a post jam version.
Great job on this!
It is quite barebones so there isn't alot to talk about, but what is there is a very smart little nugget :)
Sadly I can't say the same of the sound design, which... I didn't really like. Sorry 😅
The sounds were stupidly fun, though, so I scored you pretty high in Humor :D
