There's so much to love about this entry. The 3D is used to support the gameplay style, and the gameplay loop is a lot of fun.

This is the most fun i've had playing gamejam games this far. Really well designed, and done. You must be an expert in time management ;)

Pretty fun game. Love the concept, could with a faster overall speed.

I liked that game was pretty fun! I think you should be able to rotate buildings and if you have sent your creatures to one spot, instead of making them standing still they could bob around that point.

Also the first time I played wasnt very clear that I should had made a land next to the enemies since I used all my power before getting to the enemies. Apart from that pretty cool and fun game!

The land deformation effect was really nicely done. Reminded me a little of that old "Black and White" game. Good job.

Very addictive and funny game, well done :D

It's a cool game but after some level it lack a bit of renewal, should have more actions or at least the units should move a bit faster.

This was a lot of fun. Great entry!

onury 2019-10-09 17:04

I like your game but maybe creatures should move more faster

Increadible for a compo game. One thing this game could really use is a speedup button. Other than alway waiting i had a lot of fun playing this. Good job

I really enjoyed this game. Held me for much longer than most games I've reviewed so far. simple mechanics with thoughtful level design. Well done!

... I spent an hour on this game... It was fun. Really good game where the sound design makes the game. Did you record your team for the soundeffects ? Even for the fire sound ?

juutis 2019-10-09 17:59

Thank you all for the feedback! Really warms my heart to hear you've enjoyed the game.

@sir-galloy-de-fierpate: Yes, each and every sound was recorded with my own mouth. :)

Great game, simple rules but addictive. Difficulty buildup is good, could be a bit faster. Faster creature movement would also help. I'm looking forward for a version where you can continue where you left off!

This was fun! Those little things were super cute :grin:

kira45 2019-10-12 11:29

Super cute and fun game with the little drops ! And a cute sound as well ! Nice !

bradleyashley 2019-10-12 19:33

The pacing is great, by world three the necessity for strategy is clear, each stage after the depth of the game increases and you instruct the player perfectly along every step. Audio is pleasant, graphics are just right with it's pikmenesque feel. A great submission!

flywolfe 2019-10-12 19:58

It feels really well polished and has a cool strategy style. I would have liked to be able to speed up the gameplay a bit with a button, but I love how the game looks and feels. And I love the unable to place sound effect :D Great job!

lazygamedevza 2019-10-13 07:48

I really loved the sound effects in this game. I'm always a sucker for sfx made acapella. It was a little frustrating that the pathfinding wasn't slightly better, but it was still a very nice little game to play.

dock-frankenstein 2019-10-13 15:11

My minions got stuck at one point and they froze. It was really sad. Except that, good game!

ryu 2019-10-13 15:12

@juutis This was a surprisingly fun game, awesome concept! Think I'll be downloading your source code to take a look ;)

juutis 2019-10-13 18:29

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the feedback, the nice words and criticisms alike.

I wholeheartedly agree with the game being a tad too slow-paced. I believe the issue is inherent to the whole design of the game, especially the way the buffing statues work. I actually dislike the current design quite a bit and I'm trying to re-design parts of the game as a personal exercise (I've _never_ done anything even close to this :smile:). Maybe there's a post-jam version coming up!

@ryu: Thanks! Don't dig too deep though, you might find something nasty! :sweat_smile:

A really complete game! Nice tutorial, seemed well balanced (I haven't finished it yet), nice simple visuals. Only thing I'd change would be to increase the complexity curve a bit.
