Finding out the right strategy was challenging but the game is so fun to play that I didnt mind retrying multiple times until it worked, and it was veeery satisfying finally crushing the enemy. Incredible that you managed to create that amount of strategic complexity with a setup that simple! Congratulations!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I put a lot of effort into balancing the units and I’m very happy that you had fun and were satisfied with the gameplay. I thought the game was too simple, but that probably came from me playing through it 100 times.


Also I have an update that I’ll publish when the voting period is over - I added monsters, towers, base destruction and a new level and fixed some bugs :)

It was really fun, I love those games where you act on it but at some point you just get to sit and watch what you've built unfold. The fact that the setup is simple makes the results of the strategies used even more interesting because its such subtle differences in what units you select and WHEN you select them that makes all the difference. Very cool. Id just suggest that we could zoom out more to see more of the map and the army =)

Developer(+1)

Better zoom and camera controls are one of the things I improved in the upcoming update. I hope you play it and like it :)

This was fun and challenging!

The art and sound assets were very nice, I had a bit of trouble finding the strategy to overcome the AI.

I'd recommend more building/base interaction rather than instant win/lose.

I think you have the makings of a very addictive game here!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I’m so glad that you had fun finding the right strategy (I was kinda insecure about the game being not strategic enough). The instant win/loose is due to time limitations, but i already have updates for the game that I’ll release when the voting period is over. I added a healer unit and am now adding more enemy variety :) 

I will probably be adding archer towers and abilities too :))

Love this! reminds me of some old newgrounds games i use to play as a kid! would love more levels, unlockable units, clear indications of why one unit over another, and more music! This game was live reviewed here https://www.twitch.tv/gratefulllyivory

Thank you for the comment and live gameplay! I was going for that style of game,  just made what I could in the given time. I'll probably solve some of the issues this release has and add more stuff to the game when the jam's rating period is over

This was great! I wish it was longer, you should keep adding stuff to this! Also, I do wish you could zoom out more, there's so much going on and you can't see that much of it. Regardless, I had a great time with this!

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback! I will keep adding stuff to the game after the voting period is over and probably turn it into a local multiplayer versus game. I think playing your friend is gonna be a lot more fun than playing a bot :)

I had fun playing the game. Very fun and cute. I like the feeling of having my own army going to war in bulk lolol.

fun game, wish it was longer.

Developer

Thanks! Hopefully I’ll make more :)

Fun little strategy game with satisfying rock-paper-scissor mechanic. Although once I cracked it I was hungry for some more levels / depth to play it with. Nice work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I joined the jam super late so this is all I managed to get done, but I'm glad you enjoyed it and wanted more levels. If i keep working on the game I'll definitely add more levels and units so it's not so easy to crack :)

Submitted(+1)

Nice work! I don't know if was intentional but I got a rock-paper-scissors vibe with the units. I'm not usually a fan of tower defense type games but that was fun!

Developer(+1)

I tried to balance it that way, but the spearman ended up being cracked due to being so cheap. Thanks for your feedback and glad you enjoyed it :)

I like the idea of having the player spawn their troops in wave, that's a really clever way of interpreting the theme :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks :) I initially had the enemy spawn waves while the player just summoned troops regularly and thought that having waves also apply to the player could add more strategy to the game, plus it fit the theme so i went for it.
