Timeline Tantrum

Timeline Tantrum is a puzzle-like turn-based combat game, made during the June 2020 Summer Slow Jam hosted by the Portland Indie Gamer Squad (PIGSquad).

The goal is to win a turn-based battle against an evil boss, but the battle has already played out, and you lost. What gives!?

Well, using the power of time travel, you can shift to any turn in the battle, change your moves, and see how it plays out. Look carefully at the enemy's attacks and try to ret-con the timeline to victory.

Player actions

Each turn, the three characters (each in a different time period) choose an action in the fight against the evil time crushing interdimensional... blob... thing.

Attack - damage the enemy with your weapon.

Defend - reduce incoming damage based on your armor

Trade - swap weapons or armor with another character, or send a usable item to another character.

Item - use an item in your inventory.
