Alasala is a hero collecting game with automatic battles. Play online at https://alasala.ew.r.appspot.com/ or download the source zip. (Flask is the only dependency.)

Gameplay tips:

Search the beach a few times to get your first heroes. Go to the next stage to progress. See the diary to follow the story you have unlocked.

The combat is a 5v5 battle with no user input. The role of strategy is in assembling the team. You want to build a good general team, but as the stages get harder you also need to customize it to counter the specific enemies in the next stage. Check out the abilities of each hero to better understand how they can work together. Decide which ones to level up, and try to reach the heart of the island in as few days as you can!

A few things we should have explained better in game:

• Loyalty: Much like HP in most games. Except that when it reaches zero, the character is not removed from combat. Instead they are now fighting on the opponent's side. It's possible for a character to switch sides multiple sides in a fight. Combat ends after 2 minutes or when everyone is on the same side.
• Influence: Attack power. All abilities and attacks scale with the character's influence. Leveling up will increase it.
• Inspiration: The little stars that appear above their heads. Different heroes gain inspiration through different methods. 3 Inspiration points are used to cast their ultimate abilities.
• Weight: No gameplay effect. The whole physical simulation has no role in the battle and is just part of the visualization. When you replay a battle, the visualization may end up slightly different, but the results will be the same. Go back to the map and retry the stage to try your luck again.
