Pretty neat lil game! Gets a little laggy if you summon too many entities, and sometimes got a bit confused if I had summoned them or not due to the delay between clicking the button and them appearing. But overall pretty well put-together! :)
Awesome artwork!
This game is great! The only thing I'm missing is more levels and a score to compare with others ;)
Very cool graphics! But it starts to lag when there are too many critters :P
That was good! A minimalist yet great management game paired with nice pixel art. Great job!
Neat. Good art and presentation. The big tank unit seems underpowered. Sometimes I pick the wrong upgrade since Im spamming to spawn a unit and then the upgrade screen appears and I pick that unit. Wish the hero got more unique upgrades like weapons that could make you change up your decision making. Good job!
The idea is solid, I like idea of being the swarm that attacks the player and slowly building up the swarm over time. I would have loved to see some variation in attacks that could have influenced the strategy, but still a very solid game!
Pretty neat. Visuals are great, the artist did a very good job. Very nice that you can use keyboard numbers to summon enemies. Wished if you could also upgrade with the keyboard numbers as well so you don't have to touch the mouse very often. The game is quite good and enjoyable nontheless.
Fun game. Cool concept. Good Work!
The monsters are so well done! It'd be nice to know the stats of each of them, and how the upgrades affect them. Overall really fun game
Great art style, and good concept. Funny enough very close in story to ours. Great minds
awesome idea and great presentation!
would love to see what the upgrades actually do and visual representation of those upgrades would be nice
After beating it once, it gets pretty easy, you just spam the big units, and the game will lag a lot if you place a lot of small units. But overall I enjoyed playing this a lot :) just some optimizing and it will be a great game.
Art was one of the strong suits, the big units felt underwhelming. Overall, it's the game I've enjoyed the most so far.
Love the art
it lagged my pc because of 100 little worms at the same time, i would try it again! nice game!
Haha yes i know, but it’s fun ! :D
very cool!
I liked this one. I would recommend adding some kind of delay to the input in the Upgrade your unit screen; there were a few cases where I was spamming the little guys and accidentally, upgraded them instead of another unit. I would also recommend moving the upgrade options a little higher to prevent spam clicking. Finally, add a timer to indicate "Upgrade in x seconds"
Yes, it was planned, but I didn’t have the time :D

couldn't fantastically tell what any of my button presses were doing and the 'upgrade your player screens' popped up a bit too often without me really understanding how to do that or if my button presses were contributing to it
A Vampire Survivors-like only that you control enemy hordes instead of slaughtering them yourself. Unfortunately I missed some player feedback in this game. I would strongly recommend damage numbers to the hero. Or a number showing how much energy I have, because initially I was busy counting how much energy I have. Unfortunately, it also happened to me very often that I upgraded a unit because I wanted to place it. Otherwise I think this game is very well done, good job!
