Hello! Congrats on your game! I find that the most valuable playtesing feedback is given while playing so I use voice to text while playing and narrate my experience. Below is my feedback!
The opening screen and music sounds really nice. let's start. I remember seeing this game on my feet that looks really nice back then too. Cool openings. I know the Fire Nation attacked nice keep the life. Yes there's a well thank God yes a tutorial. Villagers look like fences. the zooming in zooming out is inverted for my perspective. okay. I understand the game let's put everyone to task and fishing. go Fish. my villagers unfortunately are not fishing. one of them is. let me select all maybe only one of them is fishing maybe yeah I can't get to my villagers to fish all at the same time only one of them is fishing oh no the enemy attacked and I had only created an additional fish okay my villagers defended it okay I guess I'll need one person can fishing this month the fishing person stopped don't stop no I can't get them to fish okay maybe I run out of fish okay I won't be able to do anything in time maybe in way for if I survive. I've lost hello that was fun
Full of bugs, but otherwise a really great game. Good job, you should be proud.

I love rts' and ressource management and i find you really nailed it. It crazy you all managed to a make this game in 72 hours. great job!
like your game
this is really awesome! feels really cohesive and enjoyable only thing is that before the last wave, some of my villagers couldn't be used to do anything? still, a great game :)
Very well polished! I could play this for a long time, is really fun!

Game is a little too difficult! Cant seem to get past second wave. Makes it a toofrustrating in the "fun" factor. But overall 5 points for other areas!
@carson-bentley I'm a bit confused. Right now there's only one that I know of @james-kusardi that's the one I'm talking above, gotta get rid of it :D glad you liked it!

I couldn't survive Wave 4, but it was fun! I really like how the pace switches from leisurely to frantic the moment the enemy tribe attacks.
Awesome idea and got me sucked in. Gotta get more villagers to win!
I could never get that many villagers, they kept dying in each wave,usually a loss overall.
This was great, the only time I was disappointed was when it ended.
What a fantastic game! If it wasn't for the many many bugs that made it difficult to play at all, and for the brutal enemies (could not get past wave 3 :cry: ) I would be rating this as 5! The art and the little worm like animations are so fun! :D Please fix this up and start charging money for it!!

Buggy, but really good. really fun, if you get rid of the bugs than this could be more than just a jam game

As many mentioned here, there were too many bugs to fully enjoy the game. But aesthetics and idea is great! I love the concept

I think I love everything about it! The concept is nice, as well as the art and the music. Nice job!
Great game! I really enjoyed playing, except when a few of my people just stopped moving, that kinda sucked, also boats don't typically go on land. Regardless a great game that was a great experience

I like it. But a little too easy at first and then a little too hard at the end. The early difficulty made me relax and I ended up losing on the last wave. Tried not building anything and lost again. Won on my third try. Would have liked different ways to start the game, right now you always have to start with fishing.
Would have preferred right-click to give order like in RTS games. If you right-click in the tutorial you deselect your villagers and wouldn't be able to continue unless you try the middle mouse button. The map panning from middle mouse button feels inverted. I guess you made the game for touch screens rather than keyboard and mouse.
Clicking retry after losing didn't remove the retry menu the first time, had to click it again after the game had started in the background. However the second time I was defeated it got removed on the first try.
The into movie was nice, a victory movie would also have been nice. Being able to skip the intro when re-playing the game (after closing it) would have been a good timesaver.
Would have preferred people to not get deselected after an order. Movement logic seems to need a bit of work, sometimes they just stand still even though there is space at a workplace. Preventing people from standing on the exact same spot would have made things less confusing. One of my people got stuck in the rock (couldn't mine the rock).
Seems like you can build a tower on top of the fire but the fire renders on top of the tower. The people sure advanced quickly in technology, from stone towers to bomb mortars.

I agree with most of the people here, but I would like to point out that RTS systems are generally harder to make.

The art is really nice and it caught my eye during the weekend already. The game is overall very nice, and as sad in the comments already, easy on the begining hard at the end, which is the way how the game should generally work I guess but truth is that in a span of 5 waves total, this might be bit steep difficulty curve. However we all know that the time is very limiting factor during the creation and I think you did amazing job on this one! Thank you for that!
I wonder what theme you were hoping for... ;) I really love the graphics, very simple, yet super effective. Managed to finish the game on my second try, so it was not hard to learn. Selection of villagers was sometimes a bit tricky, but manageable. The random island are a very nice touch that does make a small difference every playthrough. Awesome work!

Love this game! A few bugs, but extremely playable! I started without reading your tutorial here and there was a bug in the in-game tutorial so I just went with it. Needless to say, I lost fairly quickly. Came back and starting fishing heavy and producing more villagers and it was smooth sailing from then on. Love the art and how you use the camera to increase tension! Sound effects and soundtrack are very on point. Like @lateralis said- the only time I was really disappointed is when it was all over. Fantastic what you were able to accomplish in so little time! Bravo!

Really love the game mechanics and overall look of this game! Graphics are cute and have a good variety. The music also sets a fun mood.
Weird that everyone is saying the last wave was difficult and the beginning was easy. I had the opposite experience. Though I wouldn't count the first wave, as I'm not sure you can lose that one. I maxed out people on fishing asap and didn't have room to place towers by the end.
One thing that would be nice to see is the max number of people that can work at a resource. For some reason with the stone and wood node, it would let me keep adding people after it said it was full(if they were working, who knows). Also seemed like the people were not totally visible at times. Only other issue I noticed is the text is slightly hard to read in spots. Nothing too bad though.
Really though, wonderful game for 72 hours! It might be my favorite so far this jam. I would totally be interested in a full length game based on this.
This is cute and looks pleasantly :3 Like the sound and graphics so much btw
I think this is my favorite LD46 game so far! The tutorial didn't work for me so I had to figure out how to play by just guessing and reading the comments which kind of sucked but that's fine.
Once I figured out how to play I beat it on my 3rd try. You really do have to have everyone fishing the first two rounds and get that maxed out and then put people getting materials for towers. I'd love to see a post jam version with maybe more different types of materials and maybe even moving to different islands.
The only two glitches I ran into was having to press restart twice when failing, which wasn't a big deal. And the tutorial not working, which was kind of a bigger deal.
Very fun game! Just kind of wish there was more to work towards. Love the art and music
