this is so cool i really liked it! my one complaint is that if you walk into an enemy while moving sideways or backwards, that's how the combat will start which makes visibility poor. bit annoying! best to make sure enemies are centered/front-on during combat :D
how do i interact with the npcs? I spam F and nothing hapens
We didn't have time to implement this, but we 100% wanted to do it and will do it. We have many plans for improving this game)
Would have been great to have a more interactive tutorial since the play style is somewhat unique. That being said, as@timursol said the game is very immersive. The Artstyle, and Mechanics are really cool, and the music is also very fitting, though more variance would have been nice.
My personal favorite of the Jam so far!
:like: very immersive
This art style is fantastic! I had a little trouble with the "execute" button not wanting to attack. Maybe I was doing something wrong though.
Many people have this problem. You need to distribute the cubes among the characters first. In the next phase of the battle, you must click on the cube and point it at the enemy, so you will attack the enemy.
I got it! I didn't realize you needed to click on the enemies name to assign the execute cube.
