H-holy shit...! A two button RTS?! It's actually pretty damn fun, and it sticks to the theme to boot! Well done, props to you!

wow you did a great job of converting an RTS into two button controls. I'm impressed.

galanm 2015-12-17 03:58

I think you got it too work! Not that it's an improvement over a more-button RTS, but I think the game is well-tuned to the controls. The number of units may make selection a bit of a challenge after a while, but it's still fun.

Was surprised it wasn't that hard to control, at least until you have a ton of units. Really skeptical at first but you proved me wrong.

I dunno, the mechanics, controls, and art was great, but the gameplay itself lacked in my opinion. Didn't really understand what was going on. Still great game. :D

Well done executing an enjoyable two button rts! Selecting different units was a bit of a pain once you had a bunch created though. Using something like both buttons at once as a modifier and double tapping might be able to come up with some solution that made it easier... but seems silly to do post jam.

WOW. just WOW. So cool. 4 player 2 button controlled RTS. how, just cool! loved everything. except that i wanted to use all the mouse, buttons and everything. just neat that you guys did this.

This game is great. Nice work adapting an RTS into a two-button game. One thing it needs is to give the slime armies different colors! It's really hard to tell whose slime is whose when they go to war.

I loved this! Really good use of the two button theme. This was one of my fav games in this jam.

Cool idea that was fun, your slimes are excellent! Kinda wish I could use the right and left mouse buttons

kayz 2015-12-18 15:22

Already liked your slimilization and this one is good too. Maybe give the slimes of the different players different colors. Was a bit hard to see which ones are my slimes when they were fighting.

jacklehamster 2015-12-21 02:21

Thanks for the feedback. The Web version now has different slime colors for each players.

amazong - how did you do this - so great -

hybrog 2015-12-21 19:38

Haha, I was actually wondering if someone could pull off an RTS with the two-button theme. Well payed sir. I have no real complaints, excellent game.

elizeu-nrj 2015-12-21 19:40

great use of theme, amazing job

Interesting idea - actually start and middle of game is very fun. Too much units on late - is a bit inconvenient to select the one knight from lots of units.

jacob123 2015-12-22 00:30

Very nice! Well polished and everything! Good job!

I wish I had 3 other people to play this with, it looks like it would be a blast! I fooled around with it, but don't have anyone local to boot it up with.. It was tough to control, but it's a lot fun!

lukezaz 2015-12-29 03:01

I unfortunately couldn't play with anyone, but still played against myself to get a feel for the game. Very interesting idea indeed; I think playing against an AI with mouse buttons would have made for a very fun game. I can also imagine how fun and hectic a multiplayer game would be, despite not being able to participate in one.

zpeedtube 2015-12-31 12:35

Only thing that really needs to be added is AI, could only play agenst myself. But overall really well made. :)

nowandstudios 2015-12-31 12:59

So crazy game xD Very interesting concept.

bering 2016-01-01 23:02

It works !?! I thought of something like this but dismissed it right away, thinking it would be too hard to play. But, it works! And you made it pretty darn fun too, with multiplayer! Great!

brainstorm 2016-01-04 15:34

Great game! Sadly, I don't have anyone to play with, but I'll give you a 5/5 just for making a 2-buttons game of that kind!

jupiter_hadley 2016-01-11 00:13

Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/EnuG74cyOfk
