This was extremely cool!

I'm not good or big on RTS, but this is actually super cute (I still suck). Love the sketched looking art and the bouncyness.

Wow. Love this entry, and has so much potential. Great job!

This is a great game ! I love it !

Love the art, and satisfying territory control gameplay. It would have been nice to have some way to move all troops in a territory with one drag though for after the initial expansion phase.

This one was cool! I like your simplistic take on an RTS.

ponk 2014-12-08 22:18

Really gooOOod..!! Fun and beautiful !

kitch 2014-12-09 04:09

Wow! That's a great implementation, solid mechanics and a fab art style. Great job!

Thanks!

I reeeeally enjoyed this. It was simple and elegant, just really slick. My one issue was kind of that once a castle is built, it seemed really hard to take it back... seemed like the map got static pretty quick with emplaced strong positions. But still, very very nice work :)

Perfect art style and great mechanics! Well done! Very addictive!

managore 2014-12-09 08:07

codecranker 2014-12-09 17:45

fun game! I died a horrible death :D

alpha_rat 2014-12-09 17:50

Great entry! Very well done, especially for 48 hours.
I didn't noticed any bugs, and it was very fun to play

kaijuu 2014-12-10 04:16

This is really best!
Awesome gameplay.
Great graphics.
Very good gob! Really enjoyed the game.

fortyseven 2014-12-10 08:03

Love the polish. It's quite fun, too! Great work. :)

xhunterko 2014-12-11 04:32

Great minimalist RTS idea!

flashlight 2014-12-11 07:17

The art style is really awesome! The game mechanism is a simple but also make the game very friendly for new players.

saintheiser 2014-12-12 15:43

Game play is primitive. But visuals are fantastic! Love scetchgraphics =)

franklins-ghost 2014-12-14 11:34

The art is brilliant, really loved it and impressed you attempted a RTS in the time. Was able to build a few castles but the pink guys are just to quick for me. Fun to watch the little guys moving around though, a great entry.

2014-12-15 03:15

really good but kinda easy.

theholychicken 2014-12-15 04:50

Love strategy games! Neat, simple and fun. Well done!

shivur 2014-12-15 17:38

Very fun!

vikingpotato 2014-12-15 18:05

Your visual style is superb! The papercut-doodle is really charming.
Also the addition of castle building to this classic mechanic is a good addition! Good job overall! Would love to see some evolution of this game

themeorch 2014-12-16 00:12

Really nice job here -- the art style is incredibly charming and the gameplay is simple and satisfying. Very impressive work for a quick turnaround.

phocker 2014-12-22 06:36

wow very nicely done - altho some more balance would be great - destroying an opponent castle is tuff - play again

feiss 2014-12-30 11:23

I love it! simple to play, hard to win, funny, aesthetically pleasing.. and with some serious code inside. Great, great job!! :)

xaedes 2014-12-30 18:21

Very polished! Was a lot of fun to play. Great use of Voronoi! But whats a bit frustrating is when all cells are taken by someone its pretty over. And with (bad) look you can get initial positions that puts one of the players in an advantage.
I dont see how you can improve other than decreasing the defense of fortitudes. Or what would be much more fun: Three parties and a little bit increased grid resolution to make room for the third party. Would love to play that in an additional game mode!
Great Game!

Awesome game! Mechanics are familiar, but the execution unexpectedly pleasant. I didn't calm down until she won several times. :P
