Picomen
A game jam entry that defies expectations and explanations! It's a one-dimensional turn based battle RPG that's extremely difficult and poorly explained!
In PICOMEN the complex world of strategy games is flattened into a straight line. Put your team in order and watch as they bump heads with powerful enemies. Careful planning and improvisation are the key to beating this surprisingly average game!
[The game has an auto-save feature, you can reset your progress from the start screen by choosing "clear save data" from the menu.]
Here's what all the icons mean in the game:

For sure, that's a bunch of guys! Just some lil' guys! Also got to eat an egg.
This was brought you by: "You're not immune to manglerfish death ray."
Haha I need to revisit the 'horrible men' concept :D
Is there a version for Lexaloffle/BBS? Or p8 file, thanks!
"LOAD #picomen" should pull the latest bbs version :)
I love the music and the guys are cute!
The graphics in this are outstanding, and the story/dialogue is really funny too. There's some surprising depth to the combat mechanics too! :)
