Mini Autobattler
About Mini Autobattler
Mini Autobattler is a compact strategy game made by Icecream Man for the GMTK Game Jam. There are no characters to move around or attacks to aim. Instead, you spend your time arranging equipment on a small grid and figuring out how the different items can help each other.
Make the Items Work Together
The main challenge comes from placement. Drag an item onto the grid, then look at what you can put beside it. Some combinations give you useful bonuses, while others may not do much at all. Since the space is limited, you can't simply place everything wherever you want. A little rearranging can completely change how your setup performs.
Let the Game Handle the Fighting
When you're ready, start the round and watch your setup battle on its own. Your items determine what happens, so the fight is really a test of the choices you made beforehand. If the result isn't great, change the layout and give it another try.
Equipment Doesn't Last Forever
Durability keeps things from becoming too easy. Items lose durability after each round, meaning your favorite setup will eventually need some attention. You may have to replace worn-out gear or find another combination that works with what you have.
Mini Autobattler keeps its idea straightforward, but the limited grid and changing equipment give each round something to think about.
