I like the idea and would love to play a more polished version! My largest frustrations are around the ui interaction, it was tough to tell what exactly each ability was going to do. I used a few abilities accidentally a few times, not realizing I had activated them, when trying to collect a pixie.

Visually it looks nice, the sound effects fit well and the overall juice is pretty good. Larger buttons would have been nice, as well as an indicator of which tiles your ability would affect. Also right clicking instantly spawns fire for free, I believe that might be a thing you used in testing that you forgot to disable.


My end score when I won was 136 houses, 88 roads, and 12 civilians.

Cool concept and the abilities felt really fun. I like how the fire spontaneously spreads after you set it.

Fun game, nice sound effects!
Simple, but the mechanics work well together.
Though once you start loosing, there isn't any coming back

Just started but really fun, Found through twitch stream. The effects when the fireball come down is really cool 

Developer

Looked fun - And playing it felt even better!
Great game overall. It leaves me thinking how you've set up the AI;

Also, I imagine how it could be scaled up. The simplicity adds to it.

Developer

Yeah, there is definitely much I could expand on. The AI is pretty scuffed so if I were to expand I would need to redo that code. Thanks for playing!

Nice game! Really well polished for such a short time too.

Some small UX tweaks, hotkeys for skills, and highlighting when in range of pixies (+ making pixie select range a bit bigger) would go a long way!

Developer

Great critiques. Maybe I will have to implement them in the future. Thanks for playing!

Agreed XD

good game and good music but it's it's also a bit hard to know which spells are able to be used also a number on the mana bar would be nice. Overall Good Game.

Nice game. UI was a bit small therefore sometimes hard to click in a hurry. I would add key shortcuts for spells.

Developer

That's a great idea I should have thought of that. Thanks for playing.
