Nice game. 

1, Like Civilization and other build your town style games, putting text telling you what to do is bad user experience. I would recommend teaching the player all the things they can do one at a time.

Also, It would make my day if you would play my game.

Developer

Ya that's fair. I wanted to make sure you knew that you won by having more people than the other person, because it would feel kind of weird if it said you beat the other person at the end, but it never really said how to actually win. We tried to keep the building/weapon specific information in their descriptions so that things aren't too overwhelming, but there wasn't much time to make the tutorial more than some text so it was kind of hard to split the other parts of the game up. I will keep your feedback in mind if i make another city builder though, and will be sure to check out your game

Game looked great and the concept was awesome. I played against myself which wasn't that easy, but it ended up being a lot of fun. Really great job!

Yeah, I love me some "isometrics", looks very professional.

Developer

Thanks! It was my first time doing anything isometric so I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out

Adorably fun and creative game, amazing mechanics and great art. I really enjoyed it, and it was fun to play single player and control both sides since I had no one else to play with lol. The one thing I noticed was the little spinny hat seemed reduce the amount of time a kaiju spent, instead of increasing it like it says it does. Not sure if I'm just confused or if I misunderstood the item or not, but I really enjoyed the game, and I hope you can take a look at mine too!

Developer

The propeller hat should refill some of your Kaiju's attention bar at the bottom of the screen so it will destroy your opponents town for a longer time, but the screens switch when you are destroying things  so your opponents town is on your screen instead if that makes sense. Ill be sure to check your game out.

Good game concept

Great game. I liked the idea that you build a city but you also have to break your opponent's one. (:

lol this is such a cool concept, I love it. Sometimes the Kaiju would just chill out in the corner though, other than that its pretty fun!

Developer

Ya the movement code doesn't really like walls that much because if it tries to go off the map it just does nothing instead of moving a different direction, which just gets worse when there is 2 directions it cant move in instead of 1.
