Wow, nice one! Pretty complex for a game jam (in a good term, it's pretty advanced!)

Developer

Thanks for checking the game out and playing it! We surely built a lot of content into the game :D Glad when it gets noticed.

I love this RTS playing feelings :-)

Developer

Yeah that comes through, thanks for playing! :D

Fun idea, I liked the change of pace between tower defense style play and resource gathering and crafting to upgrade my rig.

And the chain reactions were satisfying.

Holy... I thought this was just an awesome Vampire-like game in 3d. I died to a mob and thought that was the end of the game. Imagine my surprise when I saw a cutscene showing a whole settlement with a bunch of characters and mechanics! Absolutely incredible work for a 2-week jam. Well done! ❤️

Developer

Thank you for this kind comment and appreciation! Glad to also surprise you with the intro setup :D

This is a fun game and i liked the elemental based chain reactions!

Developer

Thank you for playing, and great to hear you had fun with it!

Such an amount of content made in such limited time frame, nicely done!

Developer

Thanks! And yes a lot of things got added, including even some small easter eggs, like the characters meeting up at the camp fire at night.
I had a lot of fun expanding the world and making it more lively. Hope you had a fun time with the game.

This might be my favorite entry in the jam so far — hitting Chain x18 with the elemental combos felt genuinely exciting, and the low-poly art on the walking rig/workshop is gorgeous. The onboarding (how-to-play popup) does a great job explaining the water+spark/frost+blast combos before you're thrown into the action. Incredibly polished for a jam submission!

Developer

Thanks for playing the game! Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for the love on the art style! :D

Developer

Your game is impressive. The amount of content is huge. I think you could make the path indicator bigger and clearer, and the UI and tutorial could be arranged better. Right now, I feel a little bit distracted.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, ill keep this in mind for a post jam version and will do my best to make it clearer and more readable!

Honestly quite impressive given the time frame, I wasn't expecting so much content specially on the Metagame. Congrats on the submission!

Player feedback: maybe that's just me, but to be honest I thought it was a bit too much in the first 5 minutes when I started playing the game. The interesting part for me was the arena gameplay itself, but there was TOO much Metagame content after that right away, and going back to the Arena, the gameplay got less interesting when I understood I could just stay still to farm with a basic weapon. I'd honestly feel I would engage better with the game if metagame was gated a bit, so I wouldn't need to read so much content right after the first time in the arena.

Developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback, and yeah youre right the flow could be better and give the players more agency. Ill do a follow up to improve on this. Hope you had fun playing anyways!

Wow, this is quite huge actually! Perhaps, an entry with the biggest meta-game. Respect that!

Developer

Thanks for playing and checking out the game! Hope you enjoy it :D
