Software used
It was developed using pygame, with MS Paint for the art assets.
Use of the limitation
The only two buttons used are the left and right mouse buttons. The Escape button also exits the game, but I didn't think that would count, haha.
Cookies eaten
No cookies, but I had a solid 25 chocolate covered pretzels.

Hi! Could you please add a WebGL Build. That let people instant check you game. Maybe have a look on our game. You can play it via Browser. Maybe you can give us some feedback about Game Design and the mechanics 🙂 Good luck!
Hi! I will definitely consider a WebGL build for next time - I'm not quite sure whether it's possible with pygame, but I can take a look. Thanks for the feedback!
I gotta say, I'm kind of digging the MS Paint charm of this game. And it's a decent tile based RPG. I do think it's a shame you can't see what the enemy is doing, but that's understandable for a jam game. I might just be bad at these types of game, but I do feel like it felt pretty difficult. Could be worth to ask someone to playtest it as soon as you have a playable version for this type of game.
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing! I'm glad you got some enjoyment out of it. I'll definitely try to give more thought to balance - it was tough given the time constraint.
Pretty fun game!
Moving the units around the map tends to be a bit annoying though due to a combination of the camera being too zoomed in, having too many units to controls and the camera panning not working correctly most of the time (tends to be a bit difficult to make it go downwards).
Thanks for playing, and thanks for the feedback!
Fun little strategy game! Well done!
Thank you!
cool game, I found a glitch that you can move trough walls and water if ground is in range. Also, I have a question. What did you use to make music?
Thanks for playing! I guess it's not possible to get all the bugs fixed in such a short time - I appreciate the feedback.
As for the music, I didn't make it, I got it for free from here:

thanks for sharing the music
