Ohh, I adore this both visually and in concept. 

As it stands it kind of suffers from a lack of an end goal, and the fact you can place tiles on the right side of the board makes it very easy to break (I plugged up all the spawns with my own rocks and soldiers- having blue tiles take damage on the last column would probably fix that), but this is a very very solid foundation.

You've absolutely nailed the soft-strategy vibe here and I would love to see it fleshed out into a full game. I can definitely see it having some sort of 'key unit' system - each level could have a General or an Outpost you have to destroy above and beyond the core game loop.

Best of luck, I look forward to seeing you in the review video!

I really liked this game. But was there a way to win or was the battle endless? Very good setup for a full game, especially if you told a story with it.

It's an endless battle. You are supposed to lose eventually due to slowly rising difficulty but the current balance is on the easy side so yeah, that doesn't really happen

really impressive work. Nice music, art, but most importantly, a original game. Only feedback is hard to understand the rules, maybe some examples on the Itch Io page could help

Very good concept. I like your art style. The fact that you can convert your enemy at the place where it spawn make the enemy cannot spawn any more. In the end, I block all your enemy. There are so many improvement in this game. May be the mouse scroll wheel can rotate the blocks. Or making this game a battle game like clash royale.

As others have said, it could use a bit more of a tutorial. But once everything clicks, this one is something special

Amazing game! Concept is really neat and enjoyable to play, also art and music is amazing and makes it better

So cool! The art and music is awesome, I think with more cards it would be a great full game

A very cool concept that matches the theme very well. The audio, art, and gameplay feel nice. The only thing that needs adjustments in my opinion would be the difficulty. Or maybe that's just due to me abusing the "change sides" card too much. Overall, a very very solid tactical game!

Confusing. Super nice art!

very cool concept and a creative spin on the theme! more instruction would have for sure helped me grasp the gameplay easier, but overall I really enjoyed this! would love to see more unit and card types added in the future!

Really neat take on the theme. Was a bit hard to grasp how to play it but once I figure that out, it was really fun!

Submitted(+1)

Really  cool concept! I  was confused at first but after a bit I understood it. super fun

my only plight is that the sprites don't feel very clear, so it's hard to be sure which direction a character is looking at a glance

Amazing art and music. Interesting mechanic but a little bit confused to figure out what unit attack whom and so on. It'll be better with some visual hints! Please check out my game as well <3

Great idea and presentation!

Really enjoyed all the visuals and beautiful music! The game turns can sometimes be a little obscure and repetitive but obviously it's super hard to balance such a particular gameplay in a short span of time, so congrats for all your hard work!

Really creative with really good art and music, i think you guys obviously put a lot of work into it and it shows. one critique is that gameplay can become a little boring after a while of playing. keep ut the good work!
