Had a lot of fun! Being really addicted to gold farming. I would suggest you to show stats of damage and health as well other than the number of knights. It would be more fun to show these stats in my opinion because I would like to see the growth in all aspects, and that might make me being more satisfied and farming more golds. One bug I have noticed is that sometimes I could go out of the boundary if I get so close to it. But still, I really enjoyed the adventure in the slime land! Good job!

Thanks for playing my game. Thank you for the feedback and I'll make sure to  learn from my mistakes when I make my next game. Thanks for giving me feedback and good luck on the jam!

this was a lot of fun to play! i liked building an army and having them do the dirty work while i mop up the coins, there's something satisfying about having every slime just pop as all your knights swarm them.

Thanks for playing my game :D

Your game is nice.
The collision with the water is a bit glitchy but the rest is great.

This was a really fun game that kept me playing for a long time! I wish there was some sort of other island or something beyond the big bosses, but other than that this is a really fun game, I love the progression and it's really satisfying.
One thing is that I wish I could make text go faster, I can read it pretty fast, but I still want to know what it says.
I like the music, it fits the vibe of the game!
One last thing: you might want to change the various rigidbodies' collision type to continuous. It will make the player not jitter when it's colliding with a wall. If you haven't already, you should probably also put your movement code in the FixedUpdate() function instead of Update(), it might also fix some of these problems.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for the ways I can fix the coding side if things. This was very helpful. Thanks for playing my game!

One more thing I was just thinking about: I haven't worked with AI stuff much in unity, but if it's possible, it may be a good idea to varry the NPC's speeds / pathing very slightly for each npc so that they spread out and form more of a group rather than staying in one blob.

Developer

Yeah that might be a good idea.

Really liked this game! One of the most interesting games i played so far! Menu music is very groovy! Hard at the start, but as soon as u got 20+ knights it is just fun to destroy everything in one touch, wish they werent merged in one, just imagine walking with small army instead of 50 men in one man. Great work! Hope you gonna add some more levels, enemies and story for sure! good luck)

Very cool game. Very nice game play loop, I can see this turned into a rogue like game. 

One of the few games that pushed me towards finishing it. I was able to get to the end by killing the boss.

Two major things to improve

Visual feedback/Animations:

The game really needed animations for the attacks that the player, AI and NPC do. 

It also needed animation/visual feedback on when a character/enemy gets hurt. this could be as simple as changing the color of the existing sprite to red.

Also needed some kind of metric of how much health and attack damage I have reached, as I kept upgrading but lost count of what's is my current DPS/health.


Game Balance:

Game starts out kind of hard but that emphasis the idea of the theme of stronger together so the more you hire the more your OP. But that also creates a problem that later on I did not need to attack and even for the boss I just ran around while my 13 knights destroyed him in a matter of seconds. So difficulty might need to be adjusted based on the player level/power. 

Also maybe hiring and upgrading can get a bit more expensive so that the difficulty ramps up and it is not too easy to be able to get like 150 gold in one run and go back to do a massive upgrade.


Even with these two things to improve, I enjoyed the game a lot. One of the best games I have played so far (I have played around 60 games). Great job :)

I hope you get to 20 ratings, I have created a post for good games to promote themselves if they have not reached 20 ratings, you can post your game there if you want:

Thanks for the in in depth feedback and I'll make sure to add these things when I'm making my next game. Thanks for playing and finishing it. Good luck on your jam!

Liked the game a lot! It’s fun to have 30 knights killing every enemy at an instant, although it would be cool if they didn’t merge into each other (so that you actually see all the 30 knights). It is also a bad idea to make centered text appearing letter by letter - it becomes really painful to read (it works with left-aligned text since then the letters that have appeared already stay in place). Apart from them, lovely game, good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I'll take that into consideration when I'm making my next game. Thanks for playing :)

Very pleasant experience. Really fun to play. I think it has potential to expand the idea to more island, more powerups, and a lot more story maybe.

Great work! Congratulations!

Thank you for playing my game through till the end. Thanks for the kind encouragement!

Very fun game, love the cute art and the gameplay feels great, I love the mini kind of cutscenes, overall, an amazing experience!

Developer

Thank you for playing it!

I think the knights healing might be bugged. I healed them from low health and the next hit they die to the weakest slime. I had 4 knights too so there shouldn't be enough time for the slime to deal that much damage?

Developer

Did their health bar say that they were already low when you spawned into the island?

Submitted

No, it disappeared after healing

Developer

Yeah I don't know what's going on.  Sorry about that. Thanks for playing my game though.

Submitted

No problem. Its fun :) Good luck
