Abilities can be used by clicking LMB. They can only be used during battles with coworkers

Zone cards are on the right side of the screen. Pause the game with SPACE, select and place them with LMB. RMB will deselect the zone card

Enemies and boxes in different zones drop different items/abilities.

I had a lot of fun but with 3 hours left between the 9 and 10, the enemy refused to despawn on death and my guy just stood there punching forever.

We also had that bug but didn't time to fix it :)
Hope you enjoyed first 5 hours at least

I did! It was fun. If you patch it after the jam or something I would love to finish it.

Now we might :)
