Very fun submission, thank you for sharing! This would be a cool concept to see expanded into a larger game.

You know what, at first I was really confused by this game, in spite of having read the instructions. I think it was because I didn't realize the darker resource icons next to the forge, etc were REQUIRED resources, and I was confused that they disappeared when I dropped that resource there. But I read some of the other players' comments and figured it out, and then I had a blast! It became almost like Tetris, where I was trying to game out which building needed resources vs. what was coming up on the carts, trying to maximize delivery and waste as little motion as possible. That was FUN! (I agree with some people that there is too much ore coming down on the carts, I ended up just piling it all on the side of the track for later. But I also only played on Easy mode, so maybe that changes at different levels.) Great job!

Thank you for the feedback :D we plan to do another prototype with the suggestions from the community and to test some other things too :D i will send the link once it is done.

I loved this game, I had so much fun gathering resources and recruiting soldiers, then defending our base. Well done!

I really liked this submission, my eyes even hurt a bit because I was too focused and didn't blink as much, good job!

This is a cool idea for an autobattler, I definitely like the concept of resource gathering and building while your units defend. As others have said, the balance between resources felt a little off and I always felt like I had too much ore than I knew what to do with and was constantly trying to find time to cut the closest trees for extra wood., but I know firsthand that it's tough to get balance right in a jam game (or any game, really). I did have a fun time with your game though, nice job!

Everything felt very smooth, well done! Given how many people expected a different balance of iron ore to wood via the minecart system, maybe one thing to add would be some kind of imbalance detection, which would then trigger a reminder that the player can correct these imbalances themselves via chopping and mining =)

Amazing job! Has a nice flow and once you get in a good flow its a lot of fun!

Quite fun, the unit AI seemed quite good and I thought how the resources worked was quite interesting. I think that potentially adding some sort of balancing for the resources being spawned would be good, I seemed to get way more ore than wood (e.g. each ore spawned slightly increases the chance the next spawn would be wood rather than ore), but it wasn’t a huge deal due to the mining element. Might be nice to add some sort of upgrades, either for the character or the units. Well done!

This was lots of fun! I think I might have bugged it a little bit, if I left two rocks in the forge and put a wood in, it would make a iron bar but not consume any rocks?  didn't really effect gameplay though! 

Was lots of fun trying to keep track of where all the resources were going and not waste any- 

if you'd added the ability to upgrade buildings to e.g. produce different troops or resources you would extend the gam,eplay by a lot- player would need to make tactical decisions about long term vs short term investments etc. 

overall very impressed! well done!

Thank you for the kind words, and it is not a bug :D we thought it would be good for the player to go back and put the ore inside. If the furnace is working you cant add more ore it will just stay outside so once it is finished you need to pick it up and drop.
