I enjoyed the concept, and was a bit sad to reach the end of the game already, I'd have loved to see a bit more options, and test a few more configurations.\n\nIt took me a few attempts to beat the last one, figuring the good configuration, but not so that it became frustrating.\n\nI liked the visuals, especially the cool post process you added that really adds something. It's simple but does the job so well!\n\nUX could be a bit improved:\n - I found the \"drag-and-release-and-click-to-drop\" a bit weird. I would have expected drag-and-drop, or even a simple \"click to assign to the first empty slot\", since the order in slots have no impact on anything.\n - Restarting when defeated shouldn't play the conversations again, and the previous configuration should be kept.\n\nGood job!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1160598,"author_name":"Blaizi","author_uid":"blaizi","epoch":1759750974,"text":"qq, I liked your game, the only thing is that using abilities by dragging them really annoyed me.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1160602,"author_name":"PilotTK","author_uid":"pilottk","epoch":1759751131,"text":"So after a little I was able to beat the game! Pretty hard but once I figured out how to use the abilities(drag from ability to enemy for those who are curious) the game play felt a lot better! Great job!\n\nOne small bug in case you decide to update. For the souls that cost 2 points I guess to equip the game does not stop you from placing one if you dont have enough, only if you are already at the max. So I can place a 2 cost soul if I have 4\/5 soul points used but not if I have 6\/5","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1160956,"author_name":"Cobear25","author_uid":"cobear25","epoch":1759765293,"text":"Cool game! I'd love to see it taken further. The way where you have to actively target enemies and use the ability is a cool variation on traditional RPG combat. I'm not a huge fan of the drag and drop mechanic for using the abilities, but that could easily be improved with a right click or something, or even hot keys for abilities.\n\nAlso, it was a bit of a pain adding souls and abilities each time.
