Nice game!
Thank you!!
Very fun! Visually the game looks very beautiful, and the turn-based design is engaging. It is fun to build an army of animals you've fought! I also like the visual indicators. They look very clean.
To make this game even better, I think the differences between different units can be more exaggerated. Maybe some animals can cross certain terrains while some can't (it seems that this is the case for enemy units but not for the player's units), or special abilities. It would also be cool if units don't get one-shot so easily. The game feels a bit too simplistic. It boils down to having the higher health/attack and hitting the enemy first before they hit you.
The game is very complete and very fun. The controls work perfectly, and the actions players can take and in-game information are presented very clearly, which is the most important in a turn-based strategy game. Incredible that you two managed to do all that in 10 days! Great job!
Thank you kindly! Abilities would be awesome, but yeah, completing that in the time period would have been difficult, but as a suggestion for future games, that would be great!
As for the feeling of getting one-shot all the time, I agree. I wanted more strategy, so the idea of it boiling down to that makes it not as strategic. I want to add more to give it depth, so thank you for the feedback!
Thank you for your kind feedback- it is much appreciated!
What an uncredible game, It is like a chess, in the first time I just used my necromancer to win, and I always loosed, but when I played the second time, I could Summon animals and I winned. Congratulations, I think this game could be the winner of the jam.

Thank you! Very kinds words- much appreciated! Best of luck to you as well! We had fun with your game!
I'm glad to hear your words Jeth Monkey. The best to your game too!
I enjoyed this strategy game. I liked how the AI was .. well .. ruthless. But it always made the move that I expected it to do which is great predictability for a vs AI game.
However, I was also a bit confused about the health/attack values. I picked up on it after a bit though.
Nice work!
Yeah, we hope to clear that up with a future update, but thank you for the feedback!
Cool turn based game where you progress and get more and stronger creatures.
I definitely needed the tutorial to figure out I could place my captured creatures.
I think the attack and health value can be separated and be more clear - also since creatures fully regen their health the next turn.
Great job creating a game and submitting - the idea of this game is really cool!
Thank you! Great reminder on the fact that the health regenerates- it can be so easy to forget those things as a developer! Really appreciate your feedback!
Good idea :) I liked it and it worked perfectly fine for me. Liked the graphics too and all in all, it was well implemented. Good job :)
Thank you! We put up a patch to fix some of those serious bugs so glad you could get a fuller experience!
Good work :)

Perfect sounds, nice gameplay. I think waiting for AI to end its turn is a little boring. Maybe you can make it move at once for every guy it has.
Good idea! We had an idea to make the enemy's turn go faster if you hit a speed up button, but same idea- we agree that the enemy turn can become boring real fast- especially when they have a lot of units!
Cool art and I like the puzzle aspect! Great submission! I’ve rated your game. I hope that you’ll check out and rate my submission as well. :-)
Thank you! Shoutout to my artist for making awesome 2D art, @jonahhoem !
I am on my way to play your game!
Awesome game! I like the concept of turning neutral animals into my minions, and the turn based system is doing fine , which makes the gameplay fun and challenging. This has a good replay value , overall I enjoyed playing! congratulations! keep it up!
Thank you, really appreciate the positive feedback! I am on my way to take a look at your game!
A bit confusing, and I encountered a bug on the second level where I wasn't able to move the camera to my Necroman. Still, shows promise.
Thanks for the feedback on the bug, can you describe what you experienced more? Did you use the arrow keys/ WASD to move the camera around, but it was not responding?
I could move the camera with arrow keys and WASD, but not to where I *was*
I pressed next level several times which could be related.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll add it to my to-do list to see if I can find the bug you are talking about!
This is a nice setup for a bigger game, but without a tutorials page I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do, then when I clicked on the reaper character, I could kill the rat and the rabbit, but that was about it? It's a good foundation for a game, and I'd love to see more added! Keep it up!
The WebGL game does not seem to load for me. Have anyone else had the same issue or is it just me? I see that someone has already rated the game so I guess at least someone got it to work.
Try again- I updated it, so it would be nice to know if it is working!
