Looks awesome! Curious about how you've gone about implementing enemy movement ai. I've always found it weirdly difficult to get enemies moving in unison toward the player on a grid

There is no way these mf leaving reviews are real. Can be a good game, but โ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅโ™ฅ the amount of times the game basically sets you up to shoot your own feet is crazy. Anyways- these reviews are definitely bots

Interesting negative review in which they claim my game "can be good"(?) but my real hangup is the censored swear. Any guesses what that could be?

Tomb of the Bloodletter by @ethangoldreyer.bsky.social - A roguelite (deckbuilder?) word game where you use letters to cast spells. Try to type words that contain your "spell" letters and defeat enemies. Has some dope combos and characters to mess around with.
