Order Automatica is the auto battler ritual game for a secret society 👁️

It's got emergent gameplay and interesting synergies to discover, and I'm adding new stuff every day.

It will come out this year! #TurnBasedThursday

Latest version of my jam game for #CorgiJam is feeling solid now : ) Added multiplicative tiles that make really high scores possible, and it feels more like a real arcade game. newbeings.itch.io/make-nines
text that reads "best score 5371"

I spent this morning updating the game a bit. Made it look worse to make it look better. Also made the SFX a bit less annoying and balanced piece generation a tad. Officially a multi-year project now 😂 Also I used the pico-8 color palette in honor of the jam.
An old screen shot of the game. Numbers and shapes in a grid. Too clean! A new screenshot of the game. Numbers and shapes in a grid, but this time it's wonkier and better looking and the colors are nicer.

my publisher @bettergamingpro.bsky.social is showing order automatica at weplay expo in Shanghai this weekend. I think that's pretty cool! also, we localized the title and google translate tells me it says "9 grid life and death battle" which I think is a great title hehe
