For my third Ludum Dare, here's a turn-based tactical game. The fight takes places in two different dimensions. Each dimension has different characters and a different map. The link is the characters' health: each character has a soulmate in the other dimension with whom it shares the same health bar.
Really cool concept indeed. It was a little impenetrable with having to read a lot of text, but there's a lot of cool stuff I can imagine to do with this game, + content. Hope to see a more completed version sometime. :)
Thanks for the comments :) ! There was actually a typo in the damage function, causing characters with high defense or strength to be OP. I uploaded a new version which corrects this.
The idea is interesting, although balance seems broken and I couldn't really see the benefits of switching between worlds. In any case, with more polishing and further development the idea could really shine, I think.
Interesting idea and good use of the theme. I liked the idea of the shared health but struggled to understand when/why I should switch worlds, especially on a 3 turn cooldown, so I was reluctant to use it and just strategised on the alien world.
