Coalescence: Battle System Prototype

Prototype Battle System for my game Coalescence

itch.io Page

For this entry I felt terribly uninspired by the theme, and so I chose late in the day to forgo adhering to the theme this time around and instead wanted to prototype a battle system for a side project I am working on called Coalescence. This prototype was made in about two and a half days.

Edit:

I made a mistake when creating the LDJam page for my entry, please refrain from voting in the graphics category if you see this message. I did not read through the rules clearly enough. According to the rules of "The Jam", "You’re free to use 3rd party Artwork/Music/Audio assets, or assets you previously created, but we ask that you OPT-OUT of the respected voting categories (Graphics, Audio). You can opt-out of a voting category when you submit your game.".
Some of the graphical assets (the creatures, and parts of the cover image) were made prior to entering the jam. Although I did make very minor adjustments to premade assets this does not justify ignoring this rule. I am not sure I can change the entry page to opt-out of the graphics category but will update it if I can. Thank you for your understanding.

Game info

The battle system consists of real time management of three selected partners, as well as three abilities to aid your team when fighting. The controls of this game are relatively simple: point and click. You can click on any partner to select them. Once selected click either on empty ground around them to make them travel there, or click on an enemy so they will target the enemy. After using one of the ability buttons it will go on a cooldown for some time.
