Kind of strage mechanics but it has some style!

Weird DotA...)) Weird, but original))

Not easy to grab, but respects the theme. You should maybe print the log with new info on the top. It will be easier to understand what happens.

logun 2014-12-08 09:11

You should say it's a "moba-style" game, It could help to understand faster the game.
I helped my minions, but I never get money ! It was endless so I sadly stop :(

Ps: best logo eva :D

Thanks for the comments, updated my description. Hope more comments,positive and negative, so this game can improve more.

thalikoth 2014-12-08 09:17

Pretty confusing at first. Took a while before I actually understood how to play.

opengl 2014-12-08 09:21

Occasionally the game will hang.

leaden 2014-12-08 09:25

Sorry, but for me this game unplayable. I don't understand whats going on, where is my avatar and what to do. Providing more visual feedback can help.

wandersenus 2014-12-08 09:26

@openGL can you elaborate or give screen shot please. Thanks.

wandersenus 2014-12-08 09:28

@Yaroslav Kravtsov sorry for my bad. I have added some infos. I was too bad to assume that most people know that in this kind of MOBA game the player will start from left bottom corner or right hand corner

geeitsomelaldy 2014-12-08 09:29

Not sure exactly what's going on. The instructions weren't very clear on what you have to do, and it's often not clear which tiles are counted as 'adjacent', nor was it clear you could move onto tiles with 'monsters' on it.

The instructions are also seem to use odd terms for things. I have no idea what Jungling and Creeping are. There are apparently Jungle tiles and Creep tiles, and I can only fight monsters on Jungle tiles (though that doesn't seem to be the case since I can fight monsters anywhere). But I have no idea what they are and the instructions are unclear on it.

Basically the instructions are as abstract as the game is.

Graphically it's lacking. Obviously. Though each enemy graphic does kind of let you know what it is, it could be made more clear that each enemy *sits on a tile*. Either by making the tile it's sitting on bigger than the graphic, or by showing the connections between tiles.

After I read the "wierd dota game" It made sense :P
Gratz :)

icedvariables 2014-12-08 09:33

Kind of confusing but interesting...

norgg 2014-12-08 09:35

Interesting take on a turnbased moba. I found it really frustrating that I can't defend the base on my own, or even stop an enemy mob from progressing towards it. Is there some way to damage or fight them while they're on the move?

krisjet 2014-12-08 09:35

I like the music and sound, but this game has big communication problems. I really don't understand what is happening, my objective or how I win or lose even after I read the instructions.

seledorn 2014-12-08 09:40

Waaay to complicated in my opinion, and the graphics doesn't make it clearer. Next time, try introducing mechanics gradually instead of throwing a wall of text in my face. I'm sorry but I don't want to spend 10 minutes learning before I play.

stray 2014-12-08 09:41

Confusing but funny :)

wandersenus 2014-12-08 09:43

@GeeItSomeLaldy sorry for my unclear Instructions, I may restart on doing it later. I am Indonesian and English is my third language. I have tried to let people know about the place that we can go by creating some kind of walls between tiles.

I think that we can fight on jungle tiles and creep tiles. But, I made it so that we need our own creep in order to be able to attack the enemy creep so that the game more interesting.

Maybe I am not very good at expressing things in English :(

Thanks for the graphics suggestion. I hope I will do better at post-compo

wandersenus 2014-12-08 09:45

@Norgg I think this is the interesting part of the tradeoff of the game, you can't just cut the way and kill the enemy monster which means that if you have good items doesn't mean that you can make your base safe or your creep go to enemy base safely

justinooncx 2014-12-08 09:50

Really confusing, still don't know what I just did.

tuism 2014-12-08 10:02

I was really confused. Too much reading, first of all... But as soon as it started I could see it was a mobs-like. But... It didn't hold my interest. And crashed as I got to the middle bit.

Sorry, I love boardgames-like things but this one was really tough to get into.

jadernak 2014-12-08 10:04

As others have said, it is not easy to grasp on at first. Basically a turn-based MOBA. I would add something like that in the description. But once you know what you are doing it is fun.

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-08 10:05

Confusing at first, but it hits the theme very well. It could do with being a bit larger on screen for old gits like me. Oddly enough, this might make a good board game.

apiotrw 2014-12-08 10:17

Nice but really confusing (especially at the beginning)

groydis 2014-12-08 10:44

Once I understood what was going on I started enjoying my time with the game. Great Job.

greenyuk 2014-12-08 11:01

Nice use of the theme. I also had trouble grasping the mechanics, describing it as a MOBA really helped so thanks commentators. Solid, but I think things could be made clearer.

vururia 2014-12-08 11:33

A bit complex on the beginning, but you can get around that and enjoy it! :D

zwergesel 2014-12-08 11:59

It's fun and seems to be pretty much Dota/LoL as a turn based game. However, it seems to be impossible to win even on easy. The enemies always overwhelm my creeps and there's no way to defend all three lanes and earn gold at the same time.

perecil 2014-12-08 12:07

I did take a bit time to understand that it was a turn based MOBA. Respect the genre canon, but I lose everytime :D.

sirival 2014-12-08 13:25

Nice idea + good fun = WIN :D

scam 2014-12-08 13:29

Confusing. Some kind of tutorial instead of long list of instructions would be nice.

vaclav 2014-12-08 13:30

Haha, nice idea and I really like the background music :)

tasteslikefuture 2014-12-08 14:08

A little confusing, but it fits the theme well. Good job!

gaspard_ 2014-12-08 14:22

Really hard!
I can't seem to be able to win.
I try to plan my path etc.
But I always get my base invaded...
The mechanics seem cool, but the difficulty is just heigh!

eruditespirit 2014-12-08 14:43

It's very difficult to understand the game, but it's an innovative turn based dota-style game, which makes it interesting.

pjimmy 2014-12-08 15:22

interesting, but takes a while to understand.

ViliX 2014-12-08 15:31

Complicated to understand, but there is a nice concept beneath :)

kraln 2014-12-08 15:48

It took me a bit to understand what to do (the instructions opening in a new window did not help). I read some of the comments, and then it was better--oh, it's dota ;). Cool idea, and cool that you could pull it off in the time allotted.

legiion 2014-12-08 18:35

You should really Improve the ingame Description

bcole99 2014-12-08 22:40

Interesting. Took me a while to figure out what was going on. Even then I didn't quite understand exactly why I lost sometimes. It may help to have a bit clearer instructions, or maybe simplify the game just a little.

rabbit 2014-12-08 23:32

Literally cannot figure out how to play it. :l

kunonooni 2014-12-09 03:36

Have to agree with everyone else, the game is a little too confusing. that aside, its a very interesting idea and you should be proud to have finished a game in 48 hours :) You really should work on this post compo.

hd_ 2014-12-09 04:08

Big idea that would be great with polish.

maurogik 2014-12-09 06:39

The game is a bit confusing and I had trouble understanding what each tile was. Besides that, the music is nice. Good effort !

odefus 2014-12-09 19:22

The game is a lot to take in. Still not quite sure I fully understand how you're supposed to play it.

wandersenus 2014-12-10 08:05

thanks everyone for the constructive comment,I have won a game once and posted the videoin the description.

I want to ask about whether this game could actually work or not. If this game could work, I maybe want to debug , or even refactor and redraw the graphics to develop the game further. But looking at the truth, I think maybe the idea behind this game is too complicated and I should write a post-mortem soon.
