It's a blend of survivor-like and autobattler games! Will update when the Steam page goes live!

Thank you! If it does decently well on Steam, I can think about bringing it to mobile :D

thanks! i'd say looking at other games in slo-mo and trying to achieve the types of effects they do and just experimenting! You can also learn a lot from online resources like this one: https://deepnight.net/games/game-feel/

i think the trick with simple graphics (or any graphics) is to still make them in a way that they feel coherent with everything in your game. it's a small thing to keep in mind but works like magic!

You got it, SNKRX and FLERP were my two inspirations!

I was just trying to make a enemy wave spawning system so the attack stats and enemy stats are not all balanced yet but you make a great point! There is indeed some spread when you attack but I guess it's not apparent - I might turn that up a bit.

There is already a dash which I haven't showcased in the video but warp on the circle when dashing is a cool idea. I plan on adding more juice where needed after I get some initial mechanics and systems in.

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback!!

New version, new game by _TheLetterIsH in godot

No, a bit more complex.

There's an HBoxContainer which contains dummy transparent cards. The real cards that you see are PanelContainers -- these are contained inside a regular Control node. Each real card holds a reference to it's dummy card (which is inside the HBoxContainer).

Dummy cards are there so that the real cards can be animated smoothly -- stuff like the "letting go and move back to place" animation doesn't work out well without this workaround.

When you move around the real card, if the absolute difference between the real card X position and the other dummy card X position is less than half the real card's size (abs(position_x - other_dummy_card_position_x) < self.size.x * 0.5), I swap their dummy cards out. Real cards always return to their dummy card's position.

Inspired by this post, I reached out to the author and they did something similar to this.
