Woahh!! The concept was amazing some instructions could have helped but thats understandable as this is a game jam.
The visual setting of the game world and the player progression is great. Loved the cute little assets you created.
You did a great job prototyping your idea into a wonderful game.
Hard work pays off... Good luck with the jam I hope you like other games too<3
Thanks been wanting to make an rts for a while this jam helped force me to strip it down into the core mechanics.
This game is amazing
Thank you!!!!
Awesome and inspiring game, I feel like the balance is properly set. Enjoyed all the levels, even though the last one was pretty hard. Shows that you poured a lot of love into it :)
thank you, rts is my favourite genre. wanted to make one for a while but they can get really complex so i thought i do it in a minijam so im force to strip it down and focus on the core aspects of an rts. I appreciate you kind words!
Hey man, this is a very good game, good mechanics and good ideas, i really love the simple art and the music and sound effects, they are simple but good
There is some bugs that if you continue with the project you should solve
This are some ideas:
-Upgrade the minions movement code
-Make the shop bigger or if you click an buton it appears
yeah il probs add my own path finding, i just dropped aStar in there as i didnt wana waste time on the pathfinding rabbit hole, great suggestions thanks alot!!
Great game! Love the little cute aesthetic
thanks! the small/cute srt style was because i didnt want to put much time into the art so im glad it worked out.
Thanks alot!!!
Very cool little game. Massing units is really fun and the whole thing feels very polished and well done.
Thank you!!!
fun game but everything doesnt die in one hit
they do, if you mean archers vs shield guys thats because they got a shield to stop getting hit lol.
i didnt realize that my bad very fun
This was fun. Cool art and music, and this genre is one of my favorites.
If you have plans to expand, here are a few ideas:
Very fun game. I liked it. :)
Thanks! very valuable feedback, il be sure to include these in the updated version!!
i think the unresponsiveness is due to commander the leader and the troops getting directions and commands from the leader not player
I think that concept might work if it’s made more clear, and I was suspicious that this was the case after a while, so I get it. The disconnect might be from the player having to purchase the entire “squad” of soldiers, but only getting to command one, which passes the commands to his squadmates. Instead, the player might purchase a commander that has a slightly, but noticeably, different model than the rest of his squad (to distinguish visually), and that commander will recruit a unit every now and then based on how many units would come with the squad before this update. Hope that makes sense!
Of course, the easier route is probably to just make the soldiers all respond to you, but that’s not unique.
Another factor to the unresponsiveness, I believe, was due to the player’s inability to reliably interrupt the units’ attack animations. Maybe there’s a way to make that feel more smooth? Not sure.
Best of luck!
yes i like the commander recruiting over time idea thank you!
I love this kind of games. But the seaside?
theme is optional, its the limitation that is important. Thank for playing my game.
best game I played so far , best strat is just spamming 10 gold units ;)
glad you liked it was worried the difficulty would be a little hard
Love the art. I couldn't figure out the gameplay.
Pretty funny, it remembered me of a lot of flash game I used to play when I was a kid so thanks for the nostalgia ! I really like the mini soldiers, map is maybe a bit big , you have to do a lot of back and forth, feedbacks when you select a unit would be great too (like a circle under their feets like in many RTS) because sometime I don't really know if I selected a unit or something. Otherwhise good entry with a nice selection of units (Personnaly I spamed Villagers)
thanks alot for playing, yeah villager spam seems to be the meta rn. little secret archers can take out all troop expect from shield guy
I don't know what to do as it's a bit hard to read in game! It looks good though! ♥ The music is decent and fitting for what it is.
its just a bare bones rts, i over looked maybe not everyone plays rts games. thanks for the feedback.
That’s okay. Everyone has different tastes. Lots of people love RTS. :)
100% im working on a little tutorial rn.
Loved the mini-style soldiers. I like the game idea but the camera movement is kinda slow though. Either tweak that or just make the map smaller so players don't have to move back and forth to check what the enemy is spawning. Other than that, I think you have a pretty solid game!.
thanks, glad you enjoyed. this is my first attempt at an rts game!
