Gridloss 

A grid-based, turn-based, card battler Take control of a robot and battle for survival in a 5x5 grid arena! Play cards to activate movements, attacks, and special abilities. Avoid enemies though, because taking damage will cause your robot to lose parts! You’ll start with 8 parts, but if you take too much damage, you lose everything. Rules:

  • At the start of each turn, you can play 3 cards.
  • There are 4 types of cards you can play: Movement cards, Attack cards, and Special cards.
  • Movement cards and Attack cards have directional indicators that allow you to move or attack in that direction.
  • Special cards allow you to move or attack in different ways, however: special cards can have different requirements for use, so use them with caution.

(Hover your mouse over any card for details on what they can do!)

  • The goal for each stage is to eliminate all enemies on the field before they eliminate you.

How to read the HUD: On the left side of the HUD, you can see your HP, action slot, and vitals.

  • HP: How many hitpoints of health you have remaining. Losing all hitpoints will result in death and a game over.
  • Action slots: indicate how many actions (cards) you can play in your turn. Loss of hitpoints (vitals) may result in a loss of action slots, meaning you won’t be able to play as many cards during the following tuns.
  • Vitals: Your vitals shows you a breakdown of your HP. You have 4 movement HP, 2 Attack HP, and 1 HP for both your eyes and your ears. Each time you lose HP, one of your vitals will deplete, affecting your ability to use actions (cards). Keep an eye on it!

On the right side of the HUD, you can see, both your own and your enemies’ queued actions. Click on cards at the bottom of the screen to queue the actions for your turn. Keep a close eye on your enemies’ actions, it will be the key to your success. Press “Clear” to clear your queued actions and reevaluate.

love the art style. I like the small grid like combat and some of the status effects. Will take some time to fully understand but really interesting dungeon crawler. :D
