Love the title and artwork, the gnome sounds are hilarious, well done lmao
Ok... I have some things to say.
1) You guys are mental
2) This is possibly the best game of the jam
3) You are also genius
I love this game so much. The gameplay is right up my alley. My plague of gnomes decimated everything in the world, and I enjoyed every second of it. The voice acting was so hilarious.
The only tiny issues I had, were a bug with my Gnomes sometimes getting stuck in water (but I managed to unstick them eventually), and the upgrade process was a bit slow and irritating, having to go through the first couple of text boxes every time.
I want more of this game. I know for a fact I'm going to come back and play it again (my first run I won, but with only 1 gnome left! I think I can do better).
Seriously well done, fantastic work
This is a messed up game ... in all the right ways :-) ... would have been a straight five stars, but the background music got on my nerves (yes, I know I can turn it down, and I did). Super stupid fun... "Don't throw me in the volcano!" actual laugh-out-loud funny.
i liked this until i couldnt go up
Let's go gnomebling! Completely ridiculous game, the voice acting and character portraits were really funny.
This was really fun and the name made me laugh. It was fun to build up a big army and start upgrading faster and faster. One thing that was frustrating was when the castle was introduced the difficulty spiked, I had 6 gnomes when I attacke so I didn't realize I was gonna get wiped or have to start over. Nice work!
One of the most fun submissions so far! I really enjoyed the core gameplay loop, it is really addicting! Also, I love the voice acting! It adds so much charm.
One small issue is, after a certain point the speed stat builds up too much and the gnomes move at the same rate as the mouse does. That makes it difficult to traverse while seeing your surroundings even in the farthest zoom out level. It is manageable and doesn't disrupt gameplay to an uncomfortable level, but it adds some struggle.
Overall, I think this is a really fun and well made game! I enjoyed it a lot!
Five Stars for Audio for quality Voice Acting alone.
This all was way more fun than it had any right to be. Bravo!
Just one question though - how/why the hell did you settle for Gnomes for your dragon's rampaging, pillaging horde over, dunno, Orcs or Goblins^^
Ilove the game design and lay out. Very fun
This was additive as hell, that dragon actually bodied me with the RNG. The scaling felt really great on this (no pun intended)!
Oh this is great, had me laughing with all the silly voices and had a fun time playing.
The visuals and voice were fun and silly. I like the concept.
I feel this game has some potential in being very fun and addicting. I liked the voices and style of the game.
I had problems with seeing the theme in it cause the gambling with the dragon didn't made you lose anything it was just you get or you get nothing. The game also felt bit repetitive cause it was just walking back and forth.
Overall a nice game had some joy playing it!
great game feel you could add layers onto this more early to keep some of the down time more interesting like dodging a walking around enemy or some
but its still relaxing this way
Visuals were fantastic, gameplay was fun (but a little repetitive) and fitted well theme.
I did not got the point of the game. I played three different runs and lost in all of them.
