The idea is interesting, but it needs some more polish to really shine. A basic tutorial and some background music would have been a big plus!

sounds very nice and simple for me, although id be nicer if there was a more direct tutorial.
i really like the game once i got the hang of it. I had a hard time understanding off the bat the different steps and what was happening. whenever i attacked the opponent at the first level i thought he was killing me and i was loosing but then i got the hang of it. Once I did ive been enjoying playing it quite a bit. I didnt catch on until seeing how the fit theme that i was playing against myself
Interesting idea but I frequently found myself in unwinnable positions and I really don't know what I could have done differently to prevent that. With some more playtesting and balancing this has the potential to be a great game!
Interesting idea, I just wish I knew how to play it. A detailed tutorial would be very helpful.
Interesting game, I couldn't get past the second level cause I didn't really understand what was happening, but I really liked the graphics and sounds! Nice work!
Very creative way to use loop tho! but some UX problems in this game but we have too dont worry hahha I enjoy it very much its good!
very fun game, interesting take on the theme and i love it! maybe a bit of a more in depth tutorial could have made it easier to understand, i felt a bit lost at the beginning, but game jam so understandable :)
if you have time, id really appreciate it if you could give me some feedback on my game (/jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3780834) - its my first game jam and im looking to get better!
Looks interesting but it’s too bad that the rules aren’t explained. You can understand most of it by trying things but it’s still not very clear.
Fun game! With some trial and error easy to understand, hard to master. Works very well and the music and SFX fit the game very well. I could not see the whole UI anymore when I had 6 buy options, but other then that it is polished and complete! Well done.
Good board-game-like war game. I didnt now I could heal my units before they got hit but I unterstood it later. Actually fun to think about where to place your units. Need some polish but I like it. Also I'd like to see what I draw next to have things to consider.
