The presentation seems nice but I must have missed something based off the other reviews. I was really confused trying to figure out the game and ended up quitting because I wasn't sure how exactly to progress.

Sorry about that. The directions could have been clearer. Hold left click to direct the villagers, they'll do the attacking! The ninja guy is pretty hard at the beginning but if you can avoid the throwing stars, there are easier enemies on the map you can grind to grow your army.

Love it! Great game. I think others have already covered all the feedbacks, the lag and the missed upgrades due to spam click. Good job nonetheless, keep it up!

Really fun game! I really liked the take on the theme. The audio was great too - the SFX when you gain a villager is super satisfying. 

Unfortunately, I mistakenly took the wrong upgrade constantly, on account of me spam clicking to attack. And I think I collected too many followers, since it started to lag pretty bad :(

Nonetheless, fantastic entry. Congratulations!

it's fun seeing all the little followers going ham on the enemies!
I might have prepared a little too hard and gathered too many followers before the boss, which lagged the game a little on my side

Happened to me too!

Really cool!

Idk why but I couldn't kill the boss, even after his healthbar was empty.

Thank you!! Yeah that happens with the boss, you have to attack him a little bit past the health bar for him to actually die. I hope you enjoyed it though!! :)

The idea of this game was really different from other games from this jam

Fun Game Spend a 30 mins farming to fight the boss

I believe there is something wrong with the controls on Mac, since I'm almost never able to actually attack. Either way, it was fun checking this project out!

You're only controlling your followers, so you don't actually ever attack. I've seen confusion about that since the player sprite has a weapon, thanks for trying it out :)

It's a really fun little game, it's really addicting to get tons of mini soldiers lol

I kinda miss some more stuff happenning when killing the final enemy, like a win screen or something of that style. Aside from that, I love it! I'd love to see a full game like this.

I need more followers :-D

It's a nice style and pretty fun little game.

At the beginning it was a bit confusing, that only the followers can attack enemies, even though my hero has a pretty huge axe :P

I like that you even put it inside a little story.

As feedback 2 things, which could maybe improved a bit:

  • Because i always spammed left mouse button during attacking, i selected sometimes accidentally a random perk
  • At the end of stage 2 (with ca. 40 followers) it started to lack pretty extremely  

But all in all a fun game, congrats to the whole team.

Cool game! I like the overall combat loop and the upgrade system was a nice addition.
