Had a good time figuring the strategy to get the win. Took me a few tries and the winning run I got it just barely. Looks unreal too, super impressive for the timeline.

Nice little game, however it sees that there are some difficulty curve issue (or I'm just a bas player o_O). Great job!

Pretty fun necromancy game! I see potential. Art is nice.

Hi - we've received reports that the cover art is using copyrighted artwork from Paizo RPG. If this is true please change it immediately.

This art is gorgeous and the gameplay is nerve racking ! I lost the first time with only 2 seconds remaining because i understood to late that if you don't keep big upgraded skeletons on each side the captains melt through your defense !

Well made nice submission !

Basic gameplay with gorgeous graphics. A solid submission!

The artstyle and sound design is very nice, but I managed to complete the game by just spawning skeletons left and right alternately, without using the upgrade mechanic at all, so gameplay wise it could definitely be tweaked.

Yeah, unfortunately the game can be easily abused, I didn't really come up with a way to fix that

This looks fantastic! Love the clouds in the background in particular. A stylish take on the theme!

I like the artstyle, but the gameplay is very repetitive, you just spawn 3 skellies to the right, then run to the left, spawn 3 skellies there, and you go back to the right... etc. Should be more diversity, but you probably already know that :) 

Nonetheless, would be a cool game if polished up!

can you tell me how you made graphics like this in a 4 days? Man 8/10

Cool game. I like the idea of a tower defense (literally) game where you have to take an active role. Wish there were more type of skeletons and damaging spells. Good job, art looks amazing too.

Beautiful art.

Check out my other jam submission, which I made with a custom engine (it doesn't look as good though):
