I really enjoyed the old-school graphics and I'm a sucker for tactical gameplay like this! I've died on the third level a couple of times, so I'm still getting the hang of things, and I'm not 100% sure what all of the items do yet (the one that looks like a drop of blood?) but this just feels like the kind of game my brother and I would be handing off to each other on our gameboy on a road trip.
If I manage to get through to the last stage, I'll be sure to leave a comment on the game page!
Edit: Forgot to add, the blast radius was very helpful and I probably wouldn't have gotten as far on my first try without it!
