A fun little resource management game that fit the theme well.
Only notable comment would be the shortcut buttons being a little awkwardly placed. Still an engaging experience.
Good job!
Thanks for the feedback! As others suggested, perhaps using tab or space bar to toggle between summons would improve the experience. It is in my to-do list post-jam :) Glad you enjoyed playing!
The keybaord shortcuts are a little iffy. Accidentally restarted the game, although i never understood what to do.
Good feedback! The goal is to summon minions to fight the heroes, while keeping yourself out of harms way. Thanks for playing!
I managed to play the game and…I don’t know if I won or not because when spamming clicks you can skip text. The game is good and it’s a good idea. I would have liked a gimmicky minion instead of the golem, for adding more strategy, so you have to decide between bats and something else. Trap minions slowing the enemy, maybe? I think you can do more with this concept, so I suggest you to expand it. Let me know if you will do it and feel free to show your progress to me. Have a good day!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the text should probably be skipped with space bar or something. I planned to add more minions and heroes, I think that there can be a lot of strategic depth to it. Thanks for playing!
Sure! Don’t give up and let me know when you have news!
I liked the style and game play of the game. Fun short game. Fullscreen would be nice.
Thanks for playing!
It's a cool idea, but you need more content or balance to reach your full potential and it would be fun to play more than once, but well done!
Thanks for playing! Yeah I would love to add more minions and heroes!
That is the same thing I think. More gimmicky minions and new scenarios for our beloved Lich King!
Fun little game. The pixel art fit well with the concept!
Thanks for playing!
Short but fun game with simple managing-gameplay, cool art and good music
Thanks for playing!
It was my pleasure ~
The game is cute and simple. I did have ai pathing issues where some of my units would just stand skill after each round. But a good game for 2 days and great submission.
Thanks for playing!
Yeah that is definitely bug, the minions don't change the target after defeating a hero unless they get hit :( thanks for the feedback!
Now I can unleash my minions on that damned adventurer and let out a evil laugh! Muahahahahaha!
In all seriousness, I think you went the route not a lot of people dared venture for this jam, and the result was pretty cool!
I did experience issues with the AI though, sometimes my minions would just go to the lich king and get stuck there instead of targeting the adventurers.
Congrats on submitting!
Haha glad you liked it!
That is actually a feature, not a bug: when your minions are low on health, they come back to you so you can use the healing skill on them. I wish I had time to add more player feedback on it though to make it clearer. Thanks for the feedback!
This strikes me as a very clever way to hit the theme very hard with very little time. Well done. I think the controls were a bit awkward. I considered suggesting the scroll wheel or right click to switch, but some people are on macs. Perhaps using space to switch instead of (or in addition to) 1-2-3 would work well? But I had fun.
Thanks for the feedback, that is a great suggestion!
The idea matches the theme pretty well, the game is fun and cute (Love those bats).
Well done!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
The game was really fun! For some reason it was fun to see how my summoned guards killed the other one and I just had to heal them. It also looked pretty nice. The only problem is that the game sometimes just resetted bc of nothing but the rest was ok. Well done!
Glad you liked it, thanks for playing! I believe that the reset is lack of feedback from getting hit or something :(
If the game could also use mouse clicks to switch summons, the gameplay could be smoother. The game concept aligns very well with the theme.
Thanks for the feedback! That makes sense, it can be tricky using the number keys -- perhaps the tab key could be used to cycle through the minions? Either way, thanks for playing it!
It would be nice to switch left and right using the Q and E keys.
