Wow, this game was fun! I built up my army thinking it was easy and got absolutely decimated on the last round haha. I really enjoyed creating my army and having to adjust it to the relics I bought, overall its a really cool concept that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Love the artstyle, i thought i had a great army but the count was too powerful

That was sick, it took a couple of rounds to get into it but the hook of the game is really well made.

Only polish that I am missing is that the timer resets back to 1x after each match, it would be nice if it remembers your choice.

I really enjoyed this game. The art stlye and concept are super good! Would love some music mind!

Developer

Thanks!  Just curious - was the music not playing, or did you just not like the track?

Developer

I found the bug — if you scroll down the page or switch to another browser tab while the game is running, the music turns off =(

This game has a really nice art direction, and the play on the theme is a creative one. I only wish there were more of a tutorial, but its not too difficult to learn, fantastic job!

Developer

Damn, I thought it was all pretty simple - typical mistake. In general, it’s pretty hard to do anything “wrong” in the game: buy units, watch them auto-battle (you have no control over the fight itself), then buy relics (passive bonuses), and repeat until you lose =)
