Mana Tactics

Game Page

As always, I bit off a bit more than I can chew and so am not entirely happy with how it turned out. But despite that, it's arguably a lot more of a game than my previous entries.

It's a 2 player turn based tactics game where you get new units by summoning them. The big gaps are there's no AI mode, hotseat only, and the balance is not so great as it lets you pump out too many units. But hey, it works and is a functional game, despite the time limits, so I'm happy to have done it and I feel like I'm in a good place for the next jam.

(Oh also, there's no sound, again. Time limits and all that)

I decided to learn Godot this time as previous jams I had used much more barebone toolkits like Amethyst and Pygame. On the one hand, I lost a lot of time to my own lack of understanding of Godot (3-4 hours easily), but on the other, that should leave me much better prepared for the next jam now I've got over that.
