Feelings

It took me some time to find an idea that I like. I first thought I would go for yet another platformer. I finally came with an idea that takes some inspirations from Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeondice Monsters and Loop Hero. I really love the concept and hope to build something bigger with that idea in the future.

Trying to go minimalistic for the graphics was real fun. It made me feel weird not to use the animation tool during this jam x)

Hope you enjoy the game, have fun!
