It felt a little bit boring, there weren't any sounds, there wasn't an attacking animation or something. The game is really strategic though.

(RE: P.S. Sorry to all the linux and mac users out there) you could install the WebGL package to Unity, and then you can make a WebGL version which you can just throw online, and then everyone can play online. Check my online version here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-35/?action=preview&uid=5952
To your game then :)
Interesting boardgame. I like the tips, they really give you a bit of guidance what you should do. The graphics could've been a bit more interesting, but I'm not against the minimalistic setting.
At first, I thought I couldn't see which of my minions could still move, but then I saw the blinking... it's really hard to notice. I found it a bit weird that I could keep spawning minions each turn without perceivable penalty. I found the CPU turn to be a bit slow, but that might be me.
In general, I hope you keep developing this, it's a nice idea, but it needs just a bit more development, maybe some alternative unit types, maybe a resource management system of sorts (e.g. some fields give coins, and you need coins to spawn new items)
graphics weren't much, but the game played really well and made me want to to play all the way to the end (and so i did). Good Job!
Once I understood the flow of the gameplay, I had a lot of fun finishing out the match.
Great game! Really interesting mechanic and implementation of the theme. I'd love to see this polished with a greater variety in cards (like movement-affecting ones) and boards.
This was a neat entry, well done!
Gameplay is really slow, but I had a lot of fun anyway!
you've got a good concept for a board game, but it's waaaaay too much to understand in so little time
Really cool strategy game, i love it. good work!!
Fantastic strategy game! Really well balanced. It took me the longest to whittle down the last couple of opposing minions and I felt like it could turn any moment if I didn't concentrate. Played this for waaay longer than a lot of other games. :)
It's great to see a board game!
I really like your idea and game and I think it has potential. In my opinion, the player needs more options, what he/she can do in his turn and the complexity in general must be increased. This may be achieved by more complex boards, where there are more spawnpoints and maybe even more bases the player has at the beginning. Hexagonal or octagonal maps could also lead to more interesting clashes of the opposing minion.
To add more options the player can choose from, you could let the player choose a minion from a certain set of different minions in the spawning phase.
Another idea would be to draw a card instead of producing a minion in the spawning phase.
But I think when you are going to continue or extending the game it is very important, that the ATK/DEF switching mechanic is/stays an integral part of the game.
Very finely-tuned mechanics (I take it you're a Magic: the Gathering fan) but at the behest of giving things much polish.
That said, if you now took this further to give the graphics a coat of paint and add music and sounds, this could really shine!
YES! I WON! :D
This is one of the best games I've played so far and I've played over a hundred now.
Your take on the theme is great!
The problems I had with it was fixed in the post-compo version, so no complaints!
Great job and hope you had a fun time making it =)
I LOVED this game. It was amazingly fun! I wasn't feeling the theme but honestly, I hate the theme and this game was awesome! Great job!
steep learning curve, would do great with upgraded graphics and animations for attacking. the cards totally transform the game and make it even more fun. would love mouseovers for movement range. could use sounds and music, but to be honest I didn't really find myself missing them.
Interesting game design. Mechanics have a lot of potential.
Seems like with a little hard design thinking you could find a way to make the choices a lot more strategic and meaningful. But yeah--interesting core mechanics.
Thanks for having a web based game. It was a little slow and not much on the visual side
Nice. Won in 25 turns.
I like it!!
Ha, i am a sucker for those type of games, nice.
It was a bit too repetitive though, you should change the maps a bit so that the AI will definately get a second base, otherwise it just diddles around waiting to be killed.
Keyboard controls would have been nice too.
But good job, nice game :)
Pretty fun, I played it until I got the win. It did take a long time though, you should add sounds and art.
I like how the stat swapping every turn adds an extra element of strategy as it encourages players to be more careful when moving their pieces.
I'm unable to play this, getting an exception in WebGL, rangeError.

Nice to see some strategic games out there!
@Sri Harsha Chilakapati It's a know bug with Unity's webgl and code stripping. Apparently it incorrectly strips code and runs an infinite recursion
I couldn't figure it out how to play this game. I leave it with no rating. I'm sorry :(
