Cool mechanic with the magnifying glass, I did find the gameplay a little confusing though. Still, cool stuff!

Smiting enemies is very satisfying. Very good game, high score for innovation. I only wish the little men kept fighting rather than walking past each other and hanging out at the end of the board.
Hi there. Really like your God-game mechanic with the scrying orb/ magnifying glass. Cool to put instructions there as well. Nice mechanic. The strategy aspects suffers a bit from the 'Halma' problem - once units have passed each other then its just a race... no 'problems' to sort out any more... Really good job - more development maybe, unit types ?
Excellent game, I love it! It's very fun to play (5/5), the magnifying glass is working flawlessly and it is brilliant idea. Wonderful! :)
It's adorable! Though I can't seem to stop myself from scrunching my eyes, like it'll help me see the wee things.
Simple and fun!
Cool! Love the sound when you smite enemies, feels good man! Hope to see you expanding this game with more units and such! :)
Very good. Feels like it would work better with a battle royal where the minion seek each other out rather than just march forward. But a neat little title all the same.
I dig it! Really cool interpretation of the theme, simple but elegant mechanics. Quite fun!
Fun concept, love the way you read the instructions.
I couldnt find any people to interact with, but I like the concept! I Included it in part 8 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/Z4bPWwSnLLA
Strange but nice :)
I just now realized a few post-competition tweaks I was experimenting with accidentally got published to my compo version because I forgot to change a folder name. The changes were extremely minor, and to the best of my knowledge, only 3 or 4 people played on this version, but in the interest of fairness, I feel I need to admit that this happened. The original compo version is back, now, but I apologize profusely for any confusion in the meantime.
I played it again! :) I Included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/08ofw2klihI
Nice effect of the magnifying glass, It's hard to play, but you stick to the theme quite well
I really liked it. One of my favorites this dare!
Fun idea, I liked that mechanic. I enjoyed it, nicely done :)
Wow, what a cute way to reconsider the god game! Through this viewpoint, it all seems awfully arbitrary... :] I didn't find any bugs or even anything that really needs a change, especially given the limited scope of these competitions--it's a very easy game to understand, and your conveyance is great--but if you have some more time next time, adding multiple SFX variants per effect would help a bit with the experience, I think.
Very satisfying experience. Thank you for the game!
I am not sure I want to know how one could come up with such an idea... I like it a lot, and it's well made but it's totally random :)
Very cool mechanic and a very fun game.
Dig the mechanics.

I liked the mechanic and smiting is fun, but healing the blue units would make more sense if the units actually sought each other out.
Hahaha god-of-carpet-game ?
enemies or allies arent spawning?
Very nice take on the theme and interesting mechanic! I think the reloading time for the attack is a bit too short, because you actually can spam these attacks to kill all the enemies.
loved ^^
Die damn red guys! xD
Awesome concept!
Not much too it, but its pretty fun.
Very simple, yet also unique, fun, and just pretty interesting! No issues with it at all, easy to understand and play. Great job!
nice work
This is one the best interpretation of the theme I have seen! The game is really cool, though not that difficult. Difficulty level only add more minion on board, but doesn't really give an advantage at the enemy.
Love it!
