I like the specialized purpose of the different minions. Clever, and really polished. Well done!

scambier 2015-08-24 17:45

I really liked this game. The graphics are nice, and it's challenging. You made me interested into pico8

runedrake 2015-08-24 18:36

Awesome game! It took a while but I managed to get all three orbs, totally worth my time.

gammel 2015-08-24 18:46

Great game!! The only thing i didn't like is it being turn based.

Dungeon keeper meets roguelike?

lulublululu 2015-08-24 21:19

So much love for this! I said more words on your BBS page.

gfm 2015-08-24 23:44

So polished!

Amazing entry!

zatyka 2015-08-25 04:11

Wow. It's truly remarkable what you were able to accomplish in 48 hours. So much fun. I'll be playing this one again.

There's something so charming about the pico-8.

mitkus 2015-08-25 15:22

Wow. Very cool game! And in pico-8 nonetheless. Really enjoyed playing.

Fantastic game! I went back to it today and managed to gather the 3 orbs and beat the game.
Nice balance of strategy, randomness and challenge. It's so satisfying when everything goes as planned :)
Great work as usual!

headmade 2015-08-25 16:34

Wow, this one is really good! I want to play some more which is very rare with Ludum dare games.
It's rather hard though and I only played on easy.

mortus 2015-08-25 19:03

Brilliant and original idea, as always. Though the best tactic for me seems to be creating only 1 entry and stacking lots of defenders there, but I have to beat the game yet. Will surely get back to it to explore more tactics.

tijmentio 2015-08-25 22:04

Pretty solid game, especially for pico8, but the gameplay was a bit too straight forward to me. Although that might be my own incompetence..

danialias 2015-08-26 00:58

One of my favourites! Hard, even in the Easy mode, but rewarding and very fun. And addictive! Lots of possible strategies to try and resources to manage. Great one!

walaber 2015-08-26 04:25

super job! very hard at first, but slowly you realize all the different strategies you can employ. makes me want to play a few (hundred) more times and really get good at it. really great job!

nikb 2015-08-26 11:20

Simply outstanding. Clever design, stylish minimalistic art and so much fun to play!

collaboration 2015-08-26 12:53

Wow, this is really cool, there is not so much graphics, but really really cool gameplay - and that's really important. Good job!

togimaro 2015-08-26 20:07

Excellent, addictive and very with very cool graphism, I love this game!
Sadly an error (line 1331) block the game at a moment

sparrow 2015-08-26 23:31

This is done exceptionally well! Great job!

cbstegeman 2015-08-27 20:01

So good, so fun, so cute.

jhrrsn 2015-08-28 13:37

Super fun, reminds me of playing Dungeon Keeper (with a dash of roguelike!). Have you posted the source anywhere? I'd love to see how you implemented this in Pico-8!

benjamin-soule 2015-08-28 13:47

@jhrrsn on pico8 all game sources are available : You can dl the game png ( http://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/cposts/1/13025.p8.png ) and load it in pico8

stending 2015-08-28 21:50

Pretty amazing concept and interesting mechanics!
Really nice, congrats!

dunin 2015-09-02 06:51

really fun!
(after you read the rules)
well balanced and good graphics!

bombjack 2015-09-02 16:45

very nice and original gameplay. The game felt a little hard to me.

gatechgrad 2015-09-03 05:22

It was a little difficult figuring out the gameplay at first. I didn't know that I was supposed to use the green guys to pick up the gold and return it to the boss. I was never able to figure out how to pickup or use the key.

drauthius 2015-09-03 17:32

Very nice game with a lot of options. Starting with zero gold is a bit harsh, as well as heroes spawning everywhere, but it has a lot of depth and potential.

mach60kas 2015-09-07 20:36

Extremely polished and detailed game - especially for pico8! You've put so much thought and detail into each of the units' function and mechanics, and the UI is extremely well done. My main issue was that "X" is more traditionally cancel than action. Since "Z" and "X" map to "A" and "B" normally, I ended up buying things by accident while trying to cancel out of the shop occasionally. Apart from that all I think this game really needs is some music - the graphics work throughout is amazing (such as the title screen effect) and the game is very well balanced overall. Amazing work!

purpleapes 2015-09-08 09:29

Nice Turn based Dungeon Keeper!!!

crucknuk 2015-09-11 14:21

I absolutely loved the game, one of the best game i used to play on LD33 but the bug....of "line 1331" really....made me cringe more than usual. I couldn't finish your game because of that error :(

I really hope you fix it and that we will be able to actually finish your great game.

Please....fix it because it ruins the gameplay.

Thank you

uheartbeast 2015-09-11 14:33

Loved it!

chuckeles 2015-09-11 14:39

Great game, really well polished. +1

patacorow 2015-09-11 15:07

One of the most fun games this LD!
Minimalist graphics yet beautiful and polished!
Great mechanics and gameplay!
I would love to see a post compo with more information about what does what
more unique units
sound track

matzigon 2015-09-11 17:11

Nice one! It is a bit strange that the more creature you control is the less you do. But the game is fun. :)

deepnight 2015-09-11 22:12

It took me a very long time to beat the game, but it worth it :) Excellent gameplay as always. Once you understand that mobs positioning is really important, everything becomes much simpler!

Good job :)

dancingmad 2015-09-11 22:16

Game mechanics are awesome !
I played it for more than 30 minutes and I wand more !
Great game !

volkoivan 2015-09-12 11:52

Interesting gameplay and mechanics!
Started on medium, and that was pretty fun to understand mechanics of the game throughout the process
Here's your 5!

personalurban 2015-09-12 12:44

The first game I've come back to and played again, not the most original but very very well done

teesquared 2015-09-14 03:18

Cool tech. You achieved a lot of depth especially considering the constraints of the system. Took a few tries to get going. It's a very addictive game once you get a hang of it.

xvw 2015-09-14 04:44

Hard but not so much, i'm fall in love about your graphics !

walsh9 2015-09-14 06:16

Really impressive especially for a Pico-8 game. Played through to the end, got all three orbs, and loved it.

slothmachine 2015-09-14 20:06

Wonderful! Even though the gameplay was different this brought back memories from the old Dungeon Keeper. Polished and readable visuals. Really nice entry!

koto 2016-11-16 23:05

Very very underrated.
