This game slaps on all fronts. Art, Music, Gameplay, it has it all! The truce system added a fun extra bit of strategy to each encounter and the twist at the end was awesome! I hope I see this game high up in the rankings because you guys seriously deserve it for making such a great game.

Yo, this was cool stuff! The art was very neat, and I'm still bad at RPS!
I definitely had no idea how to first launch the battle, and was only saved by me frantically clicking around and accidentally double-clicking to success! Other than that minor hiccup, I had fun! :D

This game is so freaking good. The art style. The sound design, The intense RPS Battle simulator. I love it! I lost the 10th round but I still had fun! I'm stuck here wondering why this doesn't have more ratings, this game is so underrated!

This is insanely well polished, holy cow! Very cute and addictive concept that's also a fun and unique take on the theme. The fact the work was put in to even get all of the advisement and dialogue, plus the incredibly cute character designs and art, it's all such a perfect little package for a four day jam! Amazing work!

This is the most complete game i have played this jam and its not even close. Every aspect is polished to a beautiful shine. The art, the music the sound effects, even the scene transitions are crisp. Great start to the mechanics, a lot of times its deterministic what the best move is but the added extra gamble of the army scale still adds excitement and then when its not certain it really makes you second guess your decision. My favourite game of the jam so far. Incredible work for a jam!

CRIMINALLY underrated game. The art, music, concept, execution and everything in the game are all so good.. Please make this a full game after the jam!

Nice concept, love the art style. These 3d characters reminds me old Final Fantasy 7 ( a level where you had to fight units climbing the condor castle I think ). Anyway, really cool :)

This is much appreciated, thank you so much!!

I had a great time with this one, stellar art through and through, and simple but well done gameplay. Personally, I never found myself wanting to use the spy, and enough of the truces I got were pure upside that taking them or not was kind of a no brainer (turn even odds to win/lose/draw and turn them into even odds to win or draw? Don't mind if I do). Took me a hot second to figure out how to launch the battle after I made my choices: if you take it further it might be worth making that a separate button?

yonoduskDeveloper191 days ago

That's a good idea! Ill consider it for the future :) Im happy you dedicated time to think about the game mechanics like this

InfinityPixaloid193 days ago(+3)

Really cool concept and execution. I lose every single time.

KofiKrumbleDeveloper189 days ago

Thank you so much for playing!

The anticipation of whether you win each fight is pretty engaging, plus the art is excellent, very charming. The end screen especially is a masterpiece

Hehe, Thank you! Im glad the whole game was engaging for you :) There's multiple endings! Depending if you win or lose the final round

I already thought the game was absurdly beautiful but then the 3D battle started???? Congrats to you guys, it's amazing that you managed to make something this stylish in just 96 hours

Got a high score of 9185! I really enjoyed the risk and reward of choosing your troops and the way the truces make you adapt your playstyle on the fly. Overall great entry!!

Submitted

yonoduskDeveloper191 days ago

Awesome! That is a great score! I am really happy about this feedback, the focus was on polish, so I am happy we were able to deliver on that :)

A super charming game, really pretty the art is simply amazing!!

The game is a bit simple but honestly still quite fun, and the 3D fight scene honestly caught me off guard it's so cute! The boss had no chance against a five digit troop number. . .

yonoduskDeveloper191 days ago

I am so glad you think that! Im pretty new at 3d environments, so I was hesitant it'd look good, thanks!

bocdaglaSubmitted194 days ago(+2)

This game is amazing!

I can even play it in my phone. At first i was confused as Fascist Robin hood decimated my army, but then i got lucky and could recover from it. I don’t understand how your games doesn’t have more reviews it is amazing.

5/5
