Post Jam update


This game gets a post-jam update today!

By my original design some of the characters' skills would trigger a knock-back effect post-execution. I left them out of the jam because the animation was buggy and I deemed it to not worth the time. So now here they are.

This version of the game is not going to get any major update from this point and on. However I'm in the process of creating new characters, which will go to a "formal release" version of Tempo Battle Stage.
