interesting mechanics! colors are a bit awkward but otherwise cool!

I really like the gameplay! :D

I get the following exception on linux x64:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path

I just can not win this game. it is fun and challenging

gaeel 2013-04-30 12:45

Yeah, I think my computer almost died from too many dudes on screen...

Not sure it would have been possible to win, it felt like three standoffs, but it was funny to see so many units duking it out

For those using linux (and maybe OS/X, I can't test) I added a simple script with the correct java call to init the game.

And yes, the game's fps drops at the end, I had no time to make some optimizations (quad trees comes to mind).

DOTA Lite! :-) I spent far longer playing this than I intended.

Nice game concept, and fun to play. I do want to be able to speed the game up, because sometimes you have to wait a long time for something to happen.

@Cheshyr I can't express how happy your comment made me :D

16:20 46K score... Damn you eat 16 minutes of my life!
And yea MiniDota :D

BTW nice sounds, as for graphics is little bit weird.

I love this game! You achieve your objective. I'm playing Battle Cats now and you combine successfully its mechanics with DotA :D

This is so awesome (probably because im a fan of LoL) :D really nice entry, imho you should work on this game more (make some more various types of soldiers) and port it to anroid, i would definitely buy it.

Its like a dota version of a football manager game :P

Sound started out ok, but when all 3 lanes are completely clogged up, its pretty unbearalbe :<
I was also a little dissappointed by the lack of unit variety (only 3?)

Cool little game with simple graphism. I found it too slow for me, a speed-up button would have been great :)

depp 2013-05-01 18:04

Cool! I think the trick to winning is buying the 150-point stars rather than anything else, and slowly upgrading. Music is catchy, but a little grating.

Played for a little more than 10 minutes but wasn't patient enough since there didn't seem to be an end in sight. the pixel armies pretty much neutralized each other and the game got slower and slower. Nontheless very nice, you seem to have captured the essence of such games very well. The music is nice too.

granada 2013-05-05 19:51

Nice audio. A foward button would be great. Otherwise, good entry!

Sadly it just crashes when I try to start it. Following error message appears: "An error occured and the game will exit." Meh - not very informative. Win XP, 32-bit btw.
