Nice pixel art!

Very nice game, I think you used the theme almost perfectly. The situation was a bit humorous, too. :D Art was great and gameplay was very fun. Maybe you could have made more kind of enemies. Audio was okay but there was no music.
I think potatoes are proud to be mentioned in your game.

Cool! I like the snow ambient!
And the pixel art is awesome!

This was very fun! I was so mad when my guns misfired (I think they were misfiring?) This was quite good. How do I control a specific soldier?

Every game that mentions potatoes is a win! :D

Love the art!

The graphics are awesome, reminds me to something but I don't really know what. Gameplay is also quite original and keeps you playing.

This has got to be my favorite game I've seen thus far. The only problem with this is that I'm confused how the left mouse button affects the movement as they move as a group. Well, I found just staying still and firing was fun enough :)

A bit confused with the controls, they seemed to feel slightly unresponsive. Liked the shooting though, overall solid entry. :)

The screenshot looks super nice, but I'm on a Mac. Sorry :(

Crashes for me every time on win7 64 after the cut scene at the start.

The shooting in this game was quite satisfying. I really liked the art and the smoke and blood effects. However the controls were a bit confusing. It seemed that I was only able to reliably move one soldier at a time. Regardless, great entry!

Wonderful mood and great art. The pacing makes it a nail-biter!

The theme is beautiful, although the gameplay was a bit tricky. Would like to see it developed further though!

Unfortunately I can't rate the game since it's a windows entry.

The game has a nice atmosphere and story, but unfortunately i'm a bit confused by the controls; left clicking seems to move a random soldier each time, and the guns never seem to hit anyone (I only had the first shot in the game work). When I clicked an actual soldier, it moved that soldier in the opposite direction as I wanted, and if I clicked the location I wanted them to go to, they all stood still.

nothing better than pixel muskets -- great job!

The art in this, especially the pixel smoke, was fantastic. Very dreary atmosphere, which fits perfectly with the setting and mechanic.
That said, the gameplay has issues, although I love the idea behind it. Allowing the player to clearly select a unit and move it individually, and making this process more responsive, would help a great deal. There's definitely some potential in the strategy behind knowing when to move, when to take a shot, how long it'll take a soldier to reload, etc. Great stuff.

Great pixels!
