Kami - Strategy Auto-Battler Prototype

Looking for Playtesters!

We're playtesting an early WebGL prototype of a mobile strategy auto-battler inspired by TFT, with some light Mahjong-style mechanics (discarding and reacting to what others toss away). Most assets are still placeholders—the focus is on gameplay and mechanics.

🧩 What It Is

• Fast-paced strategy: Build a team of pawns and outlast your opponents.

• Auto-combat: Units fight automatically at the end of each turn.

• No selling: Every decision matters—no undoing mistakes.

• Discard-driven gameplay: Discarding is no longer automatic but essential. To buy a pawn, you must discard another. Watch what others discard to complete combos—just like Mahjong!

• Types & synergies: Units have traits that boost team stats when combined.

🧠 Full Game Description

🎯 Objective

Outlast your opponents by building the strongest team. You lose when your player health hits 0.

🔑 Unique Features

• Integrated discard mechanic: Buying a pawn always requires a discard decision.

• Limited unit pool: Units discarded by anyone are removed from the game—for everyone.

• Mobile-first design: Simple controls, fast sessions, and deep decision-making.

• Compact shop: Only 3 shop choices, forcing tighter, more meaningful decisions.

🔄 Game Flow

• Gain 1 gold per turn.

  • +1 bonus gold if you won your last fight.

• Spend gold to buy pawns or reroll the shop (1 gold).

• Place pawns on the board or store them in storage (which changes dynamically).

• Combat happens automatically at the end of each turn.

• Losing a fight reduces your health.

🧱 Pawn Mechanics

• Combining: 3 of the same pawn forms a stronger version.

• Types & Synergies: Matching traits grant bonuses.

• Abilities: Some pawns have unique active effects.

• Discard System:

  • Your storage starts at 4, but shrinks as your board size grows or when you combine units.

  • Periodically, storage expands and fills with random units.

  • To buy a unit, you must discard one from storage or board.

  • Discarded units go into a shared trash pile—they are removed from the game for all players forever.

  • You can see all discarded units, and if another player discards a pawn you need to complete a combo, it may become available.

🎮 Board & Storage

• Storage (bench): Store extra units. Size starts at 4 and changes throughout the game.

• Board size increases over time (leveling system).

🧠 Tips

• Tap pawn icons (left side) to view type bonuses.

• Tap individual pawns to check stats, traits, and abilities.

• Experiment with different combinations and adapt to discarded units in the trash pile.

⚠️ Note for Playtesters:

This is an early WebGL prototype meant to test gameplay and systems.
On mobile browsers, you may encounter issues like:

• Misaligned health bars

• Slight pawn movement stutter

• Missing sound effects

🟢 These are temporary and will be resolved in the final native app (iOS/Android).
🔍 Please focus your feedback on gameplay, strategy, and clarity!
