A very complete game. Impressive the amount of functionality you managed in such a short amount of time.

I had a lot of fun playing this game, really cool Idea, I would love to see this on a very much large scale :D

Really fun game, i was a bit disappointed when i finished it 'cause i wanted to keep playing some more!

Definitely a concept worth pushing further, with more units, different wall types, etc., but for one week this is really nice!

One thing i would definitely add if you plan to expand it is a way to quickly switch units with hotkeys, having to click on a moving unit with the mouse was a bit frustrating a times.

Thanks for the positive feedback, I'm glad you liked it.

Nice game, I like that it feels like a finished game. Congrats!

Wow really solid and fun experience! I wish my archers would revive after each round but... yeah it was challenging but not an unfair challenging, great balance and easy to understand! If I were to make one suggestion would be that if you can zoom out, you should see the enemies coming in from the edges of the map, that way you can kind of anticipate where to place your archers, and I would love for some of the enemies to drop some wood during the match so you could potentially fix up some of the walls while playing as well. Very polished!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.  Reviving the archers every round was something I considered, but I felt it would give the player no reason to protect them.  You can use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out during gameplay.

Yeah I did zoom out, I meant that the enemies were still spawning from the middle of the map even when zoomed all the way out. If you got to name the archers I would feel a bit more protective of them. "Oh no... Dani died!"

That's an interesting question and it was a decision I went back and forth on during development.  Ultimately making them stand still motivates very stagnant gameplay , where the archers sit behind walls like turrets.  While run and gun, along side enemies which outrange the players, motivates strafing and more dynamic gameplay.

Fun game! The different types of enemies coming from all directions really keeps you on your toes.  Nice Job!

Anything isometric + a sound slider gets a thumb up from me :)
