Interesting idea, and great execution! I have two main criticisms:
- The dialogue in the tutorial was way too slow, when I clicked to try and speed it up it instead moved to the next thing to say.
- The "right direction" arrow is hard to make out when against the background of the mana generation area

Those are basically nitpicks though, very well done!

Hey. Awesome game. I did something similar in another local jam. But it was multiplayer. So two player battling against each other. Hitting the right buttons.

Really well polished and worked great!

Fun game and you've pulled it off really well. I love the retro style, reminds me of the sort of game you'd have installed on an old blackberry or phone of that era. Polish is really good for a jam, couldn't find any bugs during my playtesting at all. Only qualm I'd potentially have would be difficulty and unit balancing, but that's never something that will be 100% in only 72 hours.

Very cool entry. Easy to learn / hard to master gameplay loop, I loved it. Huge shoutout for all the interactions inherent to the different creatures. Made me play multiple times to find new ones :)

Good job, guys! Nice idea of autobattler, it fits perfect into jam theme. And I defeated the red wizard on my second try =)

Good fun game. However I had trouble seeing the arrows to press, esp the purple in the top bar.

I didn't not sign of for the stress this caused me! Nor did I sign up to play it multiple times! But here I am, and I did indeed stress AND play multiple times lol

Really cool concept. I liked having to get enough mana to try a new summon while trying to dig through the papers! I did have some trouble reading some of the arrows, but I appreciate that they were runes instead of just plain arrows :)

Great work and really enjoyed the style and summoning was so satisfying!
