Also, I like that you got mobile support in there :D \n\nThe written tutorial was helpful in explaining how the resting and aggro mechanics worked. It still took a little bit of feeling out, so I wonder how else you could communicate those zones in the game.\n\nI also found myself wanting some other form of progression, whether it was a different kind of enemy or a different kind of ability. A second dimension like that helps keep the game interesting!\n\nNice job!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1111471,"author_name":"Arstotzk","author_uid":"arstotzk","epoch":1728835723,"text":"Cool gameplay, I have never seen this before.

It is rare to see a vertical-screen game amongst other LDD submissions.
