No other changes where made other than those neede to run on those platforms after the nasty bug I fixed during submissions hour (which was 'ETA 1st')!
]
From Compo To Jam To Something 4/5 Finished...
You are the familiar of a wizard.
For some unexplained reason you're fighting through a gauntlet of monsters.
Keyboard controls only.
Help screen missing :-(
Top bar (red) = enemy health.
Bottom bar (green) = your health.
Green squares are the wizards next turns (Actions), you can influence those by suggestions :-)
Red squares are the opponents next Actions. You can influence those with the cat-special :-)
Beware of weather effects (... as they are basically invisible...) :-/
Each shape has it's own specialities:
Cat-Special = Switch Opponent Action 2 and 3
Wolf-Sepcial = All out attac kwith lower defence
Turtle-Special = Hide in shell
Bird Special = Lower opponents attack
Cat-Suggest = 3rd Action of wizard becomes attack
Wolf-Suggest = 3 Action of wizard becomes cold weather
Turtle-Suggest = 3rd Action of wizard becomes heal
Bird-Suggest = 3rd Atction of Wizard becomes return weather to normal
visible waether effect missing :'-( :'-(
I solemly swear never to usee an unfamiliar engine again.
For real this time.
It's still /possible/ to have fun with this, and the final compile was around 2:59, so I'm loading up anyway :-)
((Will try to make Win_x32 and Linux versions on tuesday, Euro-time.))

Well done! I like SDL2 games! There's a lot of work here, I know it.
Cool mechanics & concept! Music was pretty bleepy & happy. Different snouts for different animals is a cute way to visualize the shifting too. :)
An intro to introduce the various on-screen elements would have been cool, but those things are of the last bits to do. ;)
Perhaps you can place the the wizards attack queue and monster queue in the center, so people can see that they are related.
In these types of game I also prefer to see all the numbers (HP left, damage of strikes & effect) so I can make informed decisions. Certainly in LD games, we don't have much time to 'feel out' the actions. :)
All-in-all, a nifty game.
A very strange experience to see game like that on LD
Take some time to understand how to play, but it's great! nice game at all!
Good entry

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Nice concept. Art need some polishment, nice turn based. Fits theme as well. Congrats
