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

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

@ulfsire.bsky.social dying but taking down the king of many colors at the same time feels like it shoulda been a perfect fit for a glorious victory. And on the Cycle of Disintegrate no less! wheres my win lol 😔

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

did anyone else just get followed by a buncha ai that only retweet stuff?

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

Jay @vanguardjay.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

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

Jay @vanguardjay.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

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

Jay @vanguardjay.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

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

Jay @vanguardjay.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

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

0191

Jay @vanguardjay.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

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

Jay @vanguardjay.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

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

Pixel art of a volcanic landscape, cracked rocky terrain with boulders on either side of an oval indentation, serving as a battleground space for the game. The background shows a red sky with cindercones jutting up and filling the sky with dark purplish smoke, a river of lava flows down one. The edges of foreground glow a firey orange lit from lava underneath.

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

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

0132

Jay @vanguardjay.bsky.social · 23/10/2024

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

0252

Jay @vanguardjay.bsky.social · 18/10/2024

Chip is a rocky mon that can punch hard enough to send them to the back. It's also so heavy when it changes positions its stuns enemies. #IndieDev #GameDev #PixelArt

Jay @vanguardjay.bsky.social · 17/10/2024

Gora is a durable and disruptive support monster, that can both heal nearby allies and entangle enemies to protect your party. #IndieDev #PixelArt #GameDev
