It's so tiny, hard to locate the player. Otherwise, I like it.

cool, you might want to use more time to make the colors blend more nicely together.

I wish there was some kind of audio/visual feedback for claiming territory. Also it was unclear to me why I could claim territory in some places but not others. My minion also seemed to do nothing. I like the sound design and graphics though.

I think it would be a lot more fun if you could see more easily the results of your actions. Regeneration is too slow, and the minions die very easily, so you spend a lot of time just waiting while you regenerate.

It had a nice graphics style, but unfortunately it was too small for me to appreciate everything else.

I like your art style, the idea is interesting, but the game feels pointless as there is no win condition.

Cool idea, but I didn't get how to get minions, I had one but he died apparently... :(

Really cool idea and feels really evil! I managed to flood the whole map but couldn't figure out if there was a way to win...

couldn't restart the game after i died: the map reset, but i was still dead. and do i have to be near lots of living things in order to create decay?

love the idea and love how it looks. just needs a bit more work, and a readme file also.

I didn't get how to get minions either. Or when exactly I can claim areas and when I can't. Otherwise: very cool.

Thanks for the feedback so far! I extended the description on top of this page with some gameplay directions. Planning to release another version of this game after the competition with all your feedback considered. Thanks again for playing!

Couple of nice and lovely details in here. Some more active opponents and goals would be interesting.

Hey, it's a nice game overall. My entry has some interesting similarities to your entry considering some aspects of the gameplay. You should check it out. :) Solid work, keep it up!

Very hard to see on my computer, but fun game.

The particle effects were nice. It's interesting to see another game centered around plagues.

Very interesting idea. My feedback for you:

- The graphics are far to small.
- It would be better, if you mark the places which can be conquered.
- At my first start, I instantly died because of some enemies around my spawn (is there a retry-button?)
- How can I kill enemies and get minions? I conquered places and they die if they walk on the plaque, but there are no minions. Even if I conquer their buildings.
