Great core concept that should be explored further.

Execution is solid but in its current state the game leaves a lot to be desired. Could be better balanced and I'd really like to see enemies approaching from the distance instead of just suddenly popping at the pillars, so I could plan my moves in advance.

When I play it, it's triggering my imagination to think about all sorts of additional abilities and upgrades that could be added.

Thank you :)

Nice game.

Was it only me, or is quick heal way more efficient than the big heals?

Developer

Hi, thanks for your interest! Yes, the balancing was a little weak xD

Interesting idea... I enjoyed it :-)

Really interesting strategy based game concept. I liked the idea of upgrading a skill or resurrecting a pillar after each year. Maybe add some variation to the pillars. For example you may change their colors accordingly (e.g. green for hope, red for health, ...) or add a symbol on top of each pillar. Is there a deeper reason for your choice of keys (and I'm too dumb to get it)?

Developer

Thanks for playing :) The keys were chosen with no particular intend. With more time I could have implemented customisable buttons. Same with the overall game it is somewhat compressed xD

Very cool concept.
