How does your game fit the theme?
There's no action while you build up your army, followed by the action of battle.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code - yes. Three of the sprites were repurposed from one of my old projects (they were commissioned). Background image is from a stock image site.

Oh this idea is awesome I love it. I have no idea if I won my first game or not, but the marbles had a really intense looking staredown at least lol. With some polish this could be really fun, great job!
Good combination of different game mechanics, nice!
The combination of plinko, chance, and cards was really interesting actually, nice job on this!
Cool fighting system!
Interesting combination of ideas! Quite original! Well done!
Man my bad luck was insane. By the time the first battle started I had 2 guys on my field and my opponent had 11 guys all upgraded.
nice fun game, combination of a few fun game ideas?
Based on things I know work well from my YouTube videos (mainly Marble Kingdoms), plus the drafting idea used in plenty of other games
Cool idea!
Had a good time with this one! My favourite part was the random names, that alone made me care a little bit for my soldiers.
One small issue, I think the viewport is too smal in the browser version, I feel like it's cropped up somehow. Also, a button that let's you end the battle when the enemy has WAY more units than you would be nice.
The button is an interesting idea, but if/when I add level ups (with heals) the battle is never lost!
Really fun game!
There was no audio and sometimes the marbles keep orbiting each other forever but I enjoyed it.
Really nice and simple idea.
If 2 marbles remain their fights can sometimes take forever, just rotating around each other.
Other than that, cool little game.
Thanks! Yea I need to fix that
Very fun!
Audio and graphics were a bit lacking, but the game was a lot of fun. Maybe you could add archers to add a bit more variety though.
I really liked that you added a damage flash effect. It adds a lot to the game.
Great entry!
Thanks! Archers were planned before I even added spearmen (bunch of other stuff planned too), but ran out of time. Hoping to continue this game after the jam.
Nice entry! Really cool gameplay loop if you added sounds and some more fighting effects I think it could be a cool game =)
