This is super cool! Great Job.  I think it would be nice to be able to quit a match. I saw some people talk about the music. I didn't hear any music. Only one sound as well. The sound when its the start of your turn.
also i love the bug sprites

The AI chrashed the game when it took control of a summoned spider, log is spamming "something is in the way"

Thank you very much for the report, I will be fixing this right away! :)

I can't for the life of me figure out how to move my characters. :/

You need to press the 'move' button on the left of the screen. If the active unit has more than 0 stamina, it will display a movement range in yellow around it. Just click on one of these cells and your unit will move there !

I might add more info about this in the game page, if it's not clear enough.

Having obstacles that block the player's vision like the trees do isn't a good idea. I'd recommend either removing them, or finding a workaround like a transparency effect if a unit is behind them.

Hi! Obstacles like trees or rocks are supposed to become transparent when a unit is behind, do you mean it didn't work for you? Have you seen there's an option in game to instantly make trees and obstacles invisible if you click on the arrow next to the end turn button ?

Anyway, thanks a lot for your feedback :)

Huh, strange. It wasn't turning transparent for me. I'll check again now.

Bizarre...now it's turning transparent? Well, problem solved, I guess?

Well I tried to reproduce this but couldn't...I don't know what happened
