A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Rumors abound that Plasma Star, the lone surviving member of the city's Star Fighter magical girl team, has returned after two years—and that she's been causing major problems. These rumors have reached Myra Phillips' ears, and she's astonished that such a thing would happen, because she is Plasma Star.

Hoping to get to the bottom of these rumors, Myra transforms into Plasma Star once more to find out who this imposter is and what she's up to.

Plasma Star is a grid-based tactics game where you will use your abilities to purify the world around you and prevent corruption from taking over the map.

Lovely tactical puzzle game!

This was fantastic! I had a good time playing through it.

Some hopefully helpful feedback:

The final fight was a bit easy.
I’m not sure I understood the logic of some of the turn based stuff, like I can move then attack, but can’t attack then move? I don’t play a lot of turn based games so maybe this is intuitive to other people.
I wished I could use the push-back to push and then move, but I would push then can’t move and they just move back to that spot.
Controls were a bit weird for me - I wished I could just leave my fingers on home row to play or something, and it took a second to figure out how to cancel a movement command. I kept trying to have a finger on M and E but kept pressing R instead.
The heal felt too strong - I could just stand there and out-heal anything. Maybe a square should only heal so much before it needs to recharge?
