In the Prime Kingdom, in the 13th century, a certain evil — the Sixth Prime — Triskaidekaphobia Demon King — grew fat from the sin of the land.

\n

Soon It’s infernal cage could no longer contain it. It yearned to be free.

\n

The key: The 13 sacrifices of hope’s flame — 13 Levels of Sacrifice.

\n

Once this light is extinguished, the 6th Prime shall harvest the souls of shadow to his will..

\n

And rule eternal, by the darkness of man’s sin.

Great art, sensible controls, and fun game play! I probably will not be able to be all levels because the AI is so good.

Really interesting foundation here. I wasn’t able to get past level 7. I’d be curious to watch your strategies. I assume 1=tank, 2=dps, 3=healer? I tried positioning everyone at the top in a triangle formation, with the tank in front. That seemed to work ok, but the enemy AI likes to target the healer. This has a lot of potential! Nice job.

Art looks great and the concept is pretty unique and interesting.

\n

However, it was very micro intensive. My hand was getting tired from all the switching between characters and using their 13k ability. I also wasn’t sure what all the abilities did, but I spammed them anyway.

Love that you had so many people work on the game.

\n

Cool 8-bit graphics. Would love it if when you click “Play game” there’s an intro screen or something so it doesn’t just go straight into you being hit by enemies. Be also good to have a pop-up for “dying” and also a “Pause” menu to go back to main menu, pause, restart etc. When the “end” and “R-etry” came up, I wasn’t able to click or select either of these.

\n

Add some music and sound effects for an extra bit of immersion, but I also understand you’re right on the 13kB limit.

\n

Interesting concept controlling multiple characters, make it start a little easier, so you don’t have heaps of enemies coming at you at once whilst still trying to figure out controlling each character. Great job though and I love your ascii art style 13 on game overview.

\n

Good GitHub README, love the emoji, 🍭 but it didn’t seem to be 100% related to your game. Make the README relate to yours and you’re good to go.

I really appreciate the pixel art and seemingly working controls, but nothing else. I’d have to say that this is an unfinished game.

\n

It appeared like my team fought automatically so I just spammed the Q ability on all of my characters, which didn’t have any indication of what it was. I didn’t know what was really happening except I’m fighting waves of enemies with a team of 3.

Nice game, but I don’t know how to beat it. After some waves I never can save my sorecerer who is focused.\nMaybe adding a shortcut to launch abilities directly instead of select character then launch ability should help

Wonderful artstyle, music sfx would add much to the game experience.

I liked the pixel graphics and it was fun to have to control the different characters.

\n

The thumbnail image looks cool too.

\n

For me there was a lot to do monitoring each of the characters and switching between them to move and attack the hordes with either the click or the “Q”.

\n

There was often a time when one of them had finished an attack but was just sat there over the skeleton whilst they could have possible gone to help another character?

\n

Still, it’s got potential, and I did like the game dynamic.

I had no idea what was happening for the longest time but it looked amazing! the sprites (and also the idea) is really cool, and I would love to see a more fleshed-out version of this, full of sounds and particles, and tons of hud/gui indicators to help new players familiarize themselves with this very unusual concept! nice work

The strong point of this game is how it looks! Fantastic art!\nBut I’ll be honest, I had no idea what I was doing. I ended up doing button mashing (1, Q, 2, Q, 3, Q in a loop as fast as I could). Is that how it is supposed to be played? I really don’t know.\nAlso, it was lacking audio, so sad.\nOverall, it looks like a good game but as I had no idea what I was doing, I cannot really tell!
