It's probably the trickiest combat as you don't have any extra skill yet, and after this one you probably had already mastered placement\n\n@thatmanrobin\nThanks! There are two strategies that work, but it is hard if you don't think of them\n\n@sergs-workshop\nThank you! I personally don't think the idea would work for a much longer experience, but we could definitely polish it\n\n@junction\nThanks for the feedback. Yes, if you miss a dialogue or accidentally skip it you have no way of seeing it again, and you can be a little lost... I will keep this in mind for next time and include something in the HUD\n\n@mrv\nGlad you liked it! Initially we had plans for a 6th combat that we dropped because we didn't think it would change much and we didn't have time to balance it.\nWe realised while submitting that it means players will never try out the last power...","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1184685,"author_name":"LDJam user 381180","author_uid":"381180","epoch":1760557346,"text":"Nice and cute game!
