About

This is a short, space-themed creature-collector RPG written in a custom voxel engine. Battle is played by placing tiles on a grid and surrounding other pieces to "claim" them and deal bonus damage. Enemies attack by shooting to destroy player tiles. 

It didn't really get tested, so things may be out of balance and/or broken. With that in mind, it includes a "win battle" key (keyboard F1) so that you can advance through to see the (admittedly small) story if you like.

WOW! Fantastic Game! Thanks so much for making it for me. You managed to cram a lot in to this game for a game jam. Creating a whole new RPG mechanic that incorporates the puzzle mechanics I asked for was quite impressive. It would be fascinating to see what could have been done if this were expanded into a more finished game. You are a truly talented developer, and I am glad I got this special game from you. 

P.S. This is KowaiOwlParade, I just have a different handle than on discord. 

Hey, thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it :)
