We also had art and backup art in our game and it didn't all make it in in time lol. \n\nGetting into the game itself, I love the coral concept, love building onto the coral, that you included the complexity of types, and that it feels almost like a turn-based brick-breaker in how the gameplay flows. \n\nThis is a really good game and I would put more time into it beyond the jam! The upgrades in between rounds felt great too. Also hovering over the corals should show me some information so I can make more informed decisions on placement, I figured it out from the hovers after they are placed but that would be nice. \n\nI fucked up bad in level 5 and would have liked to restart a few rounds earlier than I was forced to. \n\nAlso, sidenote a web build would help get more ratings in the future!\n\nGreat work guys, I loved this entry.","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":1092552,"author_name":"Kirass","author_uid":"kirass","epoch":1728407830,"text":"Funny game!
