Game couldn't run in either place. Maybe upload a downloadable version?

Nice interpretation of the theme!

Nice, solid little tower defense game, especially given the time it was made in. I had fun, good job :)

Thanks for letting us know SgtBursk - we have added downloadable versions for Windows and Mac on the itch.io page:

I agree with the above, I thought we had covered every interpretation of the theme possible in our design discussion but this is something I didn't even remotely think of.

Very good use of the theme. The sound effects were cool.

adsilcott 2016-04-19 15:09

Cool idea and a neat game! I like the graphics and the fact that you can zoom in.

sgtbursk 2016-04-19 15:48

Amazing work! The way the units split up to fight really sold it as a war sim. The enemy footsteps really made me feel like I was under pressure, in a good way. And special thanks for putting up the direct download ;)

I apreciate the work I can see behind the game. congrats!

Sound was cool. I like the war scenarios games. The tasks is accomplished well.

upwily 2016-04-20 09:49

raptorij 2016-04-20 09:53

goood game thx

witchlake 2016-04-20 10:54

Good game but a little too slow.

simex 2016-04-20 15:25

better then TW:Rome II, but yeah, all in all it a very fun game, I wish there were some more icons on the screen to show what kind of units I had and what kind was attacking them, so I could learn the rock-paper-scissors economy (if there is one), and grow as a general.
Whit that said I'm very impressed you were able to make this within the time limit.

This game is amazing. The graphics are very appealing and fit the feel of the game well, and it's a really nice twist on tower defense. I felt like I learned a lot in the very first round about how I set everything up so horribly wrong. Managed to make it 5 rounds before getting truly decimated - I could only watch with fascination and horror as the heavily armed masses swarmed my poor defenseless archers and my middle Pretorians made their last gallant stand.

Will absolutely be playing again. Great job!

I really liked the interpretation of the theme, and the SFX and BG music were spot on.

swedishpancaces 2016-04-20 23:05

Interesting take on the theme! :D

kairosxiii 2016-04-21 07:57

Very impressive game, especially with the 72 hour deadline. Love your take on the theme.

josefnpat 2016-04-21 09:28

Neat game! I like the idea, I just wish that all the soldiers were individual and would operate on their own. Still, solid!

oliver_mb 2016-04-21 10:35

I liked the idea a lot. It's very fun!

gyfis 2016-04-21 14:41

Cool TD. Good job.

aaranos 2016-04-22 00:00

I enjoyed this, but the first few rounds are a tad slow. I didn't really need to start moving or changing tactics until the 5th round. I ended up dead on the last round.

khaos_fang 2016-04-23 16:06

Very cool idea!

neondx 2016-04-23 18:29

nice concept, but i didn't had to move a single troop from first till last round

nihilaleph 2016-04-23 20:07

Great interpretation of the theme! I loved it! Graphics are really nice too! I wish I had a way to know what's the difference between units, and at least move them from flanks in between waves. Anyways great entry!

gurkenlabs 2016-04-25 12:07

the battle athmosphere was very intense, congratulations on achieving such a nice game within such short time! (The web version ran out of memory at some point, though)

neilcorre2k6 2016-04-26 12:18

Nice! :D That was great! :D enjoyed it :D

aberdeenphoenix 2016-05-01 03:29

WebGL ran out of memory! Anywho, great concept, love it! Had a lot of fun.

imperialunit 2016-05-01 04:57

@gurkenlabs, @aberdeenphoenix - glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the heads up with the memory issue.

thestartlestare 2016-05-01 14:23

nice game Idea, but it sometimes is realy hard to see enemy forces

mementogames 2016-05-07 02:56

Ohhh... very clever!
Loved how you used the theme.
With a little more polish you can release it to mobile.
Awesome entry!

randomhuman 2016-05-07 19:22

Cool idea, and the graphics are great. However, I didn't get a lot out of the main mechanic. I pretty much just spread out my archers before I started and then let it run. There's a few things that I assume are bugs that make it a bit unbalanced. On the top, left and right the archers wiped out almost everything in one volley. On the bottom,, they never fired a shot. It crashed on the fifth round in both the WebGL version and the Mac OS version.

Despite all that, I quite enjoyed myself. The game has an appropriately epic feel.
