Great atmosphere! Good job
Really cool idea!
Nice work! Really liked the atmosphere, and the shadow effect on the trees was a nice touch.
Two points of feedback: 1. Looks like there was a targeting symbol on the stun effect, but not one on the "revive" effect. It would be helpful to have one on both to understand the area of effect! 2. I think the time between encounters could be made a bit shorter, as there ended up being a good amount of indle time, particularly early on.
Yeah, nice work, very impressive!
Love the mood. A little hard to tell what's in range of a spell. A chance to turn down the volume would have been good.
Waaw, the atmosphere and sound design are just awesome! You made a very good job! Congrats!
Great atmosphere with a really simple yet quite tactical gameplay! Congrats!
Great choice in music and sounds! 10/10 for art, really nice and all the animations added so much to the game. Nice job!
Great art!
I loved the atmosphere. Great job.
Great theme and mood. I can see a full game out of this. I know a lot of effort went into this and I thank you!
Super awesome time! I played for awhile and got a pretty good army going. Those golden armor bois are WAY TOO STRONK! I would like to see this get developed more, and would love to see new minion types and enemy types. Definitely needs to be some balancing done to the game, enemies seemed like they were awfully tough, and it was hard to get the ball rolling on a good horde unless I played with pixel perfect timing on some paralyzes. Making it clearer on where my AOE of possession and paralyzing would be nice too. Perhaps a graphic that follows my cursor, or allowing the abilities to be 'equipped' so it shows a graphic. Either way I slice it, I had a blast and would love to play more! Thanks!
I would like to thank you all very much for all the love our game is receiving! And I would like to let you know that it is definitely going to be expanded to a full game :)
Great atmosphere! I like the tutorial and the way the words appear! And the sound is amazing. Great job
Incredible mood ! Would love this game to continue and introduce more mechanics, but well, it's just a jam :) The concept really fits the theme and would play more ! The necromancy concept was one of our idea, and you did a great entry for it, better than we would do !
I really enjoyed the creepy atmosphere! The game play was simple, but enjoyable due to the different enemy types! I just wish there was a counter for progress or an ending point to the game. Other than that, really awesome what you accomplished in only a few days!
Love the music and artwork. Is the game endless? I did enjoy that harder enemies kept showing up, but there were also patterns, so you could time your stun to get the most benefit. Well thought out.
Very nice mood, I love the Character's style, I just think the game might be a bit too slow, anyway great job !
I watched this being played on a stream yesterday, and it looked really good, the combo 2D and 3D art style works really well, and there is a fair bit of strategy with your spell placements and timing. The one thing I wish there was is a "speed up" button, since between encounters the movement is quite slow, and there isn't really anything to do... But overall it's really sweet!
really cool game with a nice atmosphere and simple gameplay so, to me it's great ! :)
Great shadows I Love the humour remind me of overlord looking forward to see the next release
pretty game, good atmosphere. felt a bit slow though
A+ Art, pacing was a bit unspeedy, but it's to be expected!
I like the gameplay concept but the pacing is far too slow! Enjoyed the atmosphere
Good stuff, and surprisingly balanced (in the sense that I didn't manage to get a horde rolling at all). Great atmosphere too! :D Would've liked an end game, too!
It's very beautiful and atmospheric. One thing I didn't like is that I don't feel any progress in this game
Superb mood and atmosphere! Art and music are really nice. The game seems infinite which is not a bad thing but the pacing is quite slow. A fast forward button would help.
cool game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/ckBb1ej2CB8
I love the graphics and the sounds and the atmosphere in general! Also the idea is just brilliant in all its simplicity. As others have already said the start seems a bit slow - especially when starting from scratch the 10th time because of lacking skills - but then again, a faster tempo might ruin the atmosphere a bit. I sometimes had trouble aiming the revive skill/spell which caused my horde dying and a restart which was slightly frustating. But all in all, a beautiful and nice game!
