Pyris does one thing and one thing only, burn things. Keep stacking fire on your enemy and watch their hp turn to ash. Careful though, dont want him to get snuffed out first. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Woad is a tough monster to use, but when built right is a real powerhouse. This is because it steals HP from all of its teammates to heal itself and become stronger. When allies die it gets even stronger, temporarily absorbing some of their stats. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

been trying this caraway oil thing for the nausea, its help alittle, so I tried to eat a simple pizza (toasted roll, sauce, cheese). didnt help, stomach feels like its been at the top of my throat for the last 3 hours 😔

Mantas are a particularly nasty new enemy, their normal attacks silence and envelope the target dealing more and more damage each time. #IndieDev #GameDev #PixelArt

Giant's Short Sword makes your attacks repeat against the enemy behind your target. Situationally very powerful, even duplicating on Attack effects. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Mimic King, and up coming secret boss who has had enough of you taking his things (that he stole) #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

If you see this post toothy art! Finally an art chain I can get behind. #pixelart #teeth

Jugglers are mid/high tier enemies that thrive on spreading chaos. They can light your monsters on fire, damaging everyone around them. Watch out where you move them, you might end up dealing even more damage to other teammates. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Gug! Whats an rpg without a slime. Gug's got alotta HP, dissolves enemy armor, and will eat your items get gain permanent stats. Just be sure to hold on to some for your other monsters. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Skimander is an adaptable monster that does different effects depending on which row it is in. In the front it deals more damage the faster it is, but in the back it heals itself with every attack. Its active ability causes it to swap rows, so its a tricky mon to master. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Seras is a bit of a slow burn kinda monster. Their attacks deal little damage, but also stack poison on enemies which deals damage over time indefinitely. They can weaken enemies, and do some minor healing. It's all about the long game for them. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Hydrim is a water elemental monster completely focused on supporting their allies. It can heal, remove debuffs, restore mana, heal some more, boost strength, heal, #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Originally a costume for Mabek, this mon will be getting promoted to a fully fledged unique monster. Duanis, the defensive counterpart to Mabek homes in on the enemy dealing the most dmg and interrupts them while also redirecting damage to itself allies would take. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Nessa is a very hard to find monster that both heal allies while burning enemies. Although they have very low HP, when they would be KO'd they instead become an egg. If the egg survives long enough Nessa will emerge ready to continue battling. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Mabek is an fearsome monster all about punishment. They get stronger from taking damage, and their active ability powers up the closer your team is to losing. They can even cause fallen enemies to sap the life of their nearby teammates. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

outside of runs you can construct some village stations for monsters to work at. Here's Chip working at the Mediation Garden to share their synergies with your team. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Wands are a special type of item that replaces their wielder's active ability with a new one. Like this Arcane wand which charges up the powerful Disintegrate ability which deals more damage the more mana you have. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev it also leaves nothing behind if it kills an enemy O:

one of your little guys is about to get KO'd? Not today, swap 'em! Let a healthy ally take some hits. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev (warning swapping has a cooldown, please swap responsibly)

The Volcano is another one of the locales you can venture through. It is in the highest tier so expect to encounter the most dangerous enemies. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Tama's Buddy Up ability in action, calling in little mouselings to help allies, and distract enemies. They do their own little attacks and if a strong enough attack hits who theyre helping theyll run away to halve that damage. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

i need to update this meme cause theres so many more coming 😈 #IndieDev #GameDev #PixelArt (also i have so many gifs to post but bsky doesnt support them yet)

Some encounters can contain elite enemies, such as Cindermaws who fill the battlefield with choking smoke and devastating explosions #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

You aren't the only ones who have figured out how to unleash supers. Final Bosses each have their own dangerous Super Move, like Reality Rip which damages your entire party and shuffles their positions disrupting your strats or exposing weaker mons to more attacks. #indieDev #PixelArt #GameDev

Tama is a more technical monster, their attacks cause the enemy to take more damage from all sources, and they can summon little helper mouselings to help fight (and even protect too). #IndieDev #GameDev #PixelArt
