Love it! So cute and fun, especially sound effects.
Also amazing polish.

yami-no-tenshi 2016-12-13 21:54

Everything in this game was absolutely great !!! Graphics are really nice looking and the sounds just bring so much humor in the game !!!

Just wonder what kind of man has that kind of arm... :D

Amazing job !

wujood 2016-12-13 21:59

Chrome is not loading and edge loaded forever. sorry

negativice 2016-12-13 22:02

Wow this is amazing! Favorite Jam entry so far :D

polygonteam 2016-12-13 22:02

amazing game. very nice sound and graphics! i like this stuff!

jeroenman 2016-12-13 22:03

@wujood That's too bad:( thanks for letting me know.
Could you see if it works if you allow plug-ins? (see description)

jeroenman 2016-12-13 22:03

Thanks all!

obsessivenotion 2016-12-13 22:15

Those sound effects! Legend!

tylerraz 2016-12-13 22:19

Great art/sound style and real fun when you are supporting the friendly units. The pickup pinch is tactically interesting but can get annoying when you just want to flick.

bwalter 2016-12-13 22:21

i loved it at first, but then it started to get boring just doing the same things over and over. i could probably play it for a really long time but im not bored enough right now

dogeveloper 2016-12-13 22:21

Very cute sound effects and interesting gameplay. One of my favourite entries!

geckoo1337 2016-12-13 22:24

A great entry with amazing FX. I had fun playing it. Well done ++

leewalkergm 2016-12-13 22:26

Really humerus game...

Graphics were brilliant
Sound effects were comical
Gameplay was gripping

wevel 2016-12-13 22:41

Really cool game, music is a little loud but still really nice, very fun levels

maxamaden 2016-12-13 22:47

Really cool game, especially impressive since it's made in flash! Love the little sound effects and the final battle is amazing. Keep up the good work!

tolmera 2016-12-13 22:48

This was really cool!

ithildin 2016-12-13 22:59

Brilliant game! It is awesome in all areas and super cute, but the audio in particular is one of the best I've found so far.

Fantastic job!

tijn 2016-12-13 23:02

Wow, what a game. It looks great, it sounds great, it plays great, and it's very unique and innovative too! Good job on the difficulty curve too, every level is a good step up from the last one.

Incredible effort, well done!

quaternius 2016-12-13 23:15

The best game i've played so far, amazing sounds , amazing music, amazing graphic and awesome idea. Amazing job.

redpanda_ua 2016-12-13 23:16

5 outta 5 everything, absolutely love it!

palarus 2016-12-13 23:45

Cute, fun and the artstyle is really unique! The sound effects give the game a very interesting feeling, like it's actually some kids pretending they are great generals. Awesome!

nikteddy92 2016-12-14 00:05

Solid gameplay, its fun and there's actually some strategy involved.
The sounds are just hilarious and the graphics is just crisp.

I might also be baias because it gives me a crazy advance wars vibe.

goncalo-monteiro 2016-12-14 00:16

One of the best entries, can't really put a finger in it...

dobnarr 2016-12-14 00:33

Great game! This is really, really cool. The graphics, sound effects, music, and newsreel style are just really terrific. I had a problem once with armies being generated at the upper left corner of the screen, which led everybody to march up there. Not a big deal. It was a little tricky figuring out when I'd pick up and when I'd flick, too - I didn't figure out the pattern there, and just flailed until I got it. Love this game. Great work.

kadadev 2016-12-14 00:42

everything about this game was awesome, super fun.

datamosh 2016-12-14 01:51

Good thing that Chrome loaded this! I dig the style and the progression. BUT mid playthrough, Chrome crashed :( Anyway, congratulations! Fun game!

naca 2016-12-14 01:53

Very good entry. Lovely graphics and sound effects, every detail was taken into account. Also very fun to play, so congratulations :)

2016-12-14 02:33

Love it! Great job!

gontzalve 2016-12-14 05:09

Good looking game and also original!

2016-12-14 08:37

Really great one. Good job!

tomboogaart 2016-12-14 11:02

vette gaaame

ThijsTak 2016-12-14 11:32

Loved the game. Interesting take on the normal strategy game.

piller-yann 2016-12-14 12:05

Very cool and fun game !
The sound is especially funny. The music and the vintage video effect is a good idea^^

ludipe 2016-12-14 14:24

Really innovative and fun game. It's super polished and the art is great (loved your take on the theme).

Well done! :-)

maniulo 2016-12-14 14:46

Oh my. All perfect fives!

dude_the_hero 2016-12-14 16:14

One of the best I've played so far! It feels like it's already ready to be out on the App Store.

p4nurge 2016-12-14 17:43

Can't fault anything about this! Perfect mood and excellent, innovative gameplay. I expect to be playing this on my tablet sometime in 2017. :)

popogames 2016-12-14 18:55

Great little game that demonstrates how to make use of the skills that people bring to a jam. I liked the small learning curve that makes good use of the basic input mechanics. Art and music provide comedy with small easter eggs here and there. There was even room to polish things up. Great job!

radstar 2016-12-14 19:56

your embedding doesn't works.

Really funny game, I laughed instantly whan i saw my allongated arm.

Cool audio and gameplay!

I don't know if it's intended but i could make disapears heavy ennemy by drgging theme far in the bottom left corner, it was a bit easy once i exploited this.

Really cool entry wwith nice graph and humour!

simonhutchinson 2016-12-14 22:09

Wow. Very cool. Great idea for a game, and excellent execution in setting the mood with the sound design and visuals.

juxipolo 2016-12-15 03:17

Gameplay and presentation were fantastic - that finger flick feels great!

I wasn't sure how to deal with the tanks, do you flick them multiple times, or do your guys have to deal with them?

terryg 2016-12-15 03:34

Very solid game. I loved the old timey feel of it and the pfew, pfew of the guns. The sound effects are so funny.

emmelineprufrock 2016-12-15 04:34

This is very silly in the greatest way. Fantastic soundtrack, even the sounds of the little guys when you pick them up and the background expressions of the generals.

broxxar 2016-12-15 06:39

Absolutely positively delightful. Incredibly polished, great visuals and audio and a good bit of fun too boot. Really well done!

ganon 2016-12-15 07:29

Wow!!! This is an amazing game with the time provided. I'm amazed that you guys were able to make a game with such awesome a look, sound and feel. Truly impressive and I would absolutely play an extended version. By far best game I've come across for LD37. Tip of the beanie to ya and enjoy a sweet sodipop!

volcanicgiraffe 2016-12-15 08:08

Awesome style and super fun to play. Knocking the soldiers off the table was quite satisfying. I only wish drag and flick were binded on different keys. It adds to the mayhem, but feels a bit unfair.

dssiege11 2016-12-15 08:24

Very fun(ny) and nicely polished game. Congrats!

valiap 2016-12-15 09:32

Great idea! Art style was cool and game play works well. Sound effect was funny. Great work! Really polished game.

deathbysnail 2016-12-15 10:22

Love the sfx! And the really really long hand ^.^

urbanhelsing 2016-12-15 11:25

Great job. This was amazing, loved the voice acting, the graphics, the overall game.

Any feedback I'd give is that I'd love to have a final really hard level, as it was a very easy but enjoyable run-through.

An example could be a massive enemy force vs a lone soldier. That'd be challenging!

ekilibr 2016-12-15 12:42

Really nice entry! The fun is there, and it's actually incredibly rewarding to tick the little dudes from the paper-battlefield!

Once you enter, you're immediately in and ready to kick some bad guys out.
Well played!

nixxor 2016-12-15 14:22

This is amazing. Great graphics, sound, gameplay. I don't think I would change a thing about it. V Impressed. Well done!

designernap 2016-12-15 14:23

Full marks from me on this one. Superb use of sound and graphics to create a theme and atmosphere. Nice work.

hlavik211 2016-12-15 15:14

Amazing game man . I really love graphic and nice sound effects.

2016-12-15 18:03

Its All Awesome Really This Is The Winner

harusame 2016-12-15 18:44

Haha it's so fun !

Love the sounds and art !
We can switch the flag or stop the music, it's a good idea !

Great job team !

awpteamoose 2016-12-15 19:36

Pls elaborate on this, it's great!

maleero 2016-12-15 20:31

So simple and fun! 5 stars all the way down, guys. Nice work!

josearias 2016-12-15 21:30

Best game I have played so far. 5/5. The concept is great and very very fun to play. The only thing I can say about the gameplay is that charging is not very effective (In the last one, I couldn't beat it and I decided to just click without charging... Almost all of my troops survived) Besides that, a really great game.

maybe-later-team 2016-12-15 21:35

Wow. This game is really awesome :D
Really funny. Nice sounds effects.
I'm quite impressed of how well it represents the idea that battle is first played on paper by planning :)
Good job.

Cheers,
Morco (Maybe Later team)

kualitygames 2016-12-15 21:57

Really fun game. Great idea, putting a tower defense like this. Lovely and cute graphics, best game I have seen so far. Sadly my browser crashed though, not sure if it was because of the game.

minemes 2016-12-15 22:11

Super fun Game :D

morrilet 2016-12-15 22:33

I love the concept. The game was creative, cute, and fun. Having tougher enemies be harder to flick around was very interesting. Also, the audio made me laugh.

mrshoestore 2016-12-16 01:00

I think you can probably tell by the rest of the comments that this is one good game jam game.

mementogames 2016-12-16 02:12

Music, sfx and art are just amazing! I had a lot o fun, but I wish I had some other things to do besides flicking. Splendid job overall!

madmarcel 2016-12-16 11:39

That was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed that game :) Great work!

xenosns 2016-12-16 13:34

Very fun, humorous. Great sound effects and art style. Sometimes was difficult to determine which troop i was going to flick away, ending up flicking my own troops in the process. Great job!

gamepopper 2016-12-16 13:40

As if there was any more on-the-nose metaphor the world needed that generals are just big kids playing with toys, this is it. Very fun entry indeed!

infin8 2016-12-16 15:14

Incredible atmosphere and interesting gameplay! Though I would say the flicking and the picking are cofusing to use at times. Also IMO the AI could be tweaked. The enemy base doesn't serve a purpose as all enemy units need to be dead before your units need to attack the defenceless structure

psychomonster 2016-12-17 12:23

Yeah dude the sounds!!!!! hahaha that is a nice game. I like the idea of using the theme like that.... artstyle is fantastic! Details asre super... klick the flag'n'stuff! #1 in sound and gfx ^^^^

obvious_san 2016-12-17 12:31

Frantic and ridiculous, I love it! I especially loved the little indignant "please don't touch me" when you pick units up, funny stuff :) The sound effects in general were really fitting and well done, like children playing, and that worked really well contrasted with the implication that these are serious people doing serious things.

My only criticism is that later on it becomes difficult to flick things because the input is interpreted as a pick-up. Really great game though!

davisan 2016-12-17 19:45

Greate game! Amazing graphics, sounds, music, humor, also very innovative!

manusaiz 2016-12-17 21:44

Amazing entry, I loved it all, specially the "minions" style voices, those were trully hilarious ^^

Also loved this old film effect, you achieved a great mood there, congrats!

And then the gameplay, it was a pretty nice idea having your general cheating there and stomping things with your finger, although I didn't fully get to understand what were the strategies, I tried to have red units not hit the floor for as long as possible in order to avoid them from shoting, but sometimes they shot even while I held them.

Astonishingly solid entry, 5/5.

CONGRATULATIONS GENERALS! :D

kddekadenz 2016-12-18 16:49

I don't know if I should feel bad about enjoying the game.
Could be kinda seen as metaphor for the detachment of generals and the people who actually fight in the war.
It was "cute" the graphics were really nice and I enjoyed the eastereggs. Music & sound was great too.
Awesome game!

jezzamon 2016-12-19 10:57

Short, but great!

sinclairstrange 2016-12-19 11:50

Fantastic! One of my favourite games I've played this game, the art, the style, the gameplay the audio, it has it all. Brilliant brilliant stuff!

valandre 2016-12-20 12:37

Mouahaha! funniest game of this LD so far!! 5 stars for me

ncannasse 2016-12-20 13:04

Nice polish/mood, but the game lacked a bit of challenge or actual gameplay :)

david-cookie 2016-12-23 11:37

So fun! And it really has some potential imo :D
Well done!

frenchie 2016-12-24 06:51

Awesome game! It got a little hard to control when there were lots of units on the screen but the rounds were short enough that I didn't care if I lost. Loved the sound effects :)

ellian 2016-12-24 09:48

That was amazing! I had a lot of fun playing this and flicking units everywhere. The duration of the game is just perfect, it ended right before I could get bored with it.
Great art, and fantastic sound design as well ahah

rixud 2016-12-24 17:13

love the audio!! GOOD JOB!

pmarincak 2016-12-25 00:26

This was a charming little game. I liked the SFX and how the game played. One thing to note is that clicking exit didn't work.

Great Job!

wowa_u 2016-12-26 06:34

It's simply a great and charming game! I had a lot of fun!

bluethelemon 2016-12-26 18:58

This is awesome ! I Love it !

mike-cullingham 2016-12-26 21:34

Amazing. Right on theme, clever interaction, fun sound effects. Really excellent job.

nightshadow0 2016-12-31 14:16

Haha this is really fun and polished, what a great concept. My only annoyance was that the hand would often try to grab the units when i just wanted to fling them and it always threw me off. Great work!

quadtree 2017-01-02 01:24

Graphics and sound are great! If there's one comment I'd make, it's that sometimes you end up grabbing units when you meant to flick them.
