At first I thought myself, this is way to easy, then I got to the point where there where so many ghost that I had a hard time catching up. It was soo much fun, I wanted to start over and try to beat it😄 Maybe the difficulty curve could've been smoother, other then that you can be proud of what you made that is an awesome game 💛
thank you. Yes, the difficulty curve part has been updated. I'll update the itch.io version after the voting period is over. :)
Great game, very interesting mechanics and flow, really enjoyed it! And it was awesome having you on stream! Here's the VOD if you want to check that out again: (yours starts at 47:39)
Hi ! thanks for featuring my game & my son's game on the stream, really appreciate it. :D
A couple of things that would've help increase the enjoyment of this game:
I think with those improvements this game could definitely be even more enjoyable.
Thanks for playing. thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely consider those (especially the enemy weakness and upgrade buildings part) for the game update.
Super fun game play!
thanks for playing :)
Wow, really nice strategy game! making it real time, having a grid, but making units move without restrictions, wonderful!
I am going to point out a lot of thing but don't take me wrong, this game is surely one of my favorites.
1. Plz make it possible to build some walls, it would be awesome to be able to fortify my holdings
2. There are some balancing issues, I basically started to lose, and when I noticed that, I just spend all my gems and bought all the tiles (while losing) and winning the game, by just clicking all the tiles. (after playing for some time, the gem production is more than the gem need, so there is always a surpluss) I would suggest to make each new tile a little bit more expensive.
3. Everything was ok, until the sudden attack of the ghosts, the power of the baddies, with no warning at all, increased significantly, changing the whole game. I do not know if you made it that way in purpose, or not, I didn't find it disturbing tho, so no need to change it, I just wanted to point it out, that the enemy numbers suddenly increased.
4. I really loved the way the units were moving by themselves and were not restricted to move by tile to tile, it was a really nice idea, and it was enjoyable to see the battles, while in the same time developing a strong economy to support the armies.
5. It was really nice to see a boardgame-like game being in real time, nice one!
tl;dr: Wonderful and amazing game, congratulations!
Thank you for playing, I really appreciate your feedback. :)
I've updated the game, mainly on balancing the game and resource rate/distribution, largely based on your feedback. as for the wall, you can use the tower to guard your territory. but sadly, the tower has a (major) bug in the jam version, which it shoots in turn, not simultaneously :(
I am happy to hear that you found my comment helpful. If you need more feedback, I can only say that you should put the music in replay, so it doesn't suddenly stops. With walls, I meant like building who could hold the ghosts (and spiders), like cheap (probably wood based) buildings, who would stop the enemies, and make them nice target for towers. Also, probably, make the starting castle able to shoot, so it doesn't get too complicated with trying to expand away from the spiders.
haha .. yeah, I forgot to put the music on replay in this jam version. In the updated version, enemies will start to show up after certain criteria are met, so we have time to set up some defense & preparations.
This is great! The gameplay is addictive, the difficulty is well balanced and the sfx are perfect. Well done!
thank you for playing :)
Wow! This game was really engaging. It took me a bit to figure out the controls... but once I did, I was on a mission haha
thanks for playing. Did you manage to win? I hope you had fun playing it :)
This is definitely one of my favorite games from the jam! Super fun to play and figuring how everything worked wasn't too hard. I love the concept of restoring color to the world and growing your empire. The UI for building would become overlapped by the UI on the right and the difficulty was so hard that I had to restart once I figured out how to play. But I had a blast playing through again and winning. I also really liked the feedback for attempting to place on an unconnected tile.
Thanks for playing. I've updated the UI part and rebalanced the game. thank you for your feedback. Btw, congratulation on winning the game :)
That was a really fun game managed to conquer the whole map :)
thanks for playing. congratulation on winning the game, I know that's (very) difficult. :)
ghosts are very op
haha yes, I've updated the balancing part. please check my game again after the judging period is over. thank you.
Really fun game with an awesome mix between board and RTS, but it does get quite difficult towards the end, it shifts so quickly I have a map full of my guys and then I blink and it's covered in ghost. Otherwise fantastic job! Keep it up!
thanks for playing the game. yes, it becomes (too) difficult at the end phase. I've updated the balance mechanic and will upload it to itch.io after the judging period is over.
Very interesting entry. was fun to play. Really great game for the short amount of time. One thing I wished for was to be able to close the overlay when clicking outside of it.
thank you for playing. I've updated the game and will update itch.io after the judging period is over. On the new update, you can click outside the building menu to close it.
I really enjoyed this game. I had to see if it was possible to beat it
The difficulty scaling as you buy more tiles might be too much, I ended up winning by out-clicking the monsters
Overall this is a wonderful entry
thanks for playing :)
yes, I don't have enough time to recheck the balance of the gameplay. btw, congratulations on winning the game :)
I liked so much!
thanks for playing :D
