I had fun with this one. It was challenging too as I got absolutely destroyed by the knights the first time round. Attacking all at once was key I found. Nice work!
I kept wishing though that I could click and drag a selection box around all the units. It would have been a nice feature to have. It would be also great to have more feedback when selecting and attacking.
Great job once again!
Thank you very much! It is really nice to hear that you had fun with it. Yeah the things you suggested are definitly on top of my list, if I update this game. Sadl,y I didn't had enough time to implement them, but that's how game jams are ^^
Nice strategy game, it was empowering to e masse a large group of undead and overwhelm the castle on my second attempt after my first one when the knights wiped me out haha. I kept my entire army in one group and therefore experienced some friction when trying to raise the dead from a defeated village. I think it would help if the recently deceased automatically merged into the existing army.
Thank you for playing and for the suggestion! I'm happy to hear that you had some fun with it. I made the raising the dead part manual to add some "weight" to it, if that makes sense^^ But I can see how it can be annoying, especially with the unpolished controls.
Nice mechanic. It lack of player audio/visual feedback when selecting/merging etc..
In browser the game becomes unplayable after sometime. But I enjoy it, has soon has I understood what I was doing. Well done.
Thank you for the feedback :) I didn't playtest the browser version much, so thanks for letting me know.
Unique game. I had a tough time getting used to the gameplay at first. good game overall.

Thank you for playing :) Yeah it isn't as intuitive as I hoped it would be.
Cool game, would have liked a better indication of when a unit is selcted.
Thank you:) Yeah it can be a bit hard to see sometimes.
I felt like the controls were holding me back.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback. Is there anything concrete that bothered you with the controls?
I felt like I couldn’t perform actions as quickly as I wanted to. Maybe a box select would be better, but I did like being able to split the armies quickly.
