I love the art of this game! I felt that the main mechanics are a bit weird but it was fun to see our little guys falling when moving around, well done!

I love the art of this game! I felt that the main mechanics are a bit weird but it was fun to see our little guys falling when moving around, well done!
The level of creativity is very high here. Game looks amazing and the mechanics ar very unique!
The art was fantastic and I love the concept! Didn't feel like I had control over if the people fell off.
Nice Art and game flow :thumbsup:
Really cool idea - I like the game a lot. Any chance of a windows build? Slightly slow in browser for me.
The music is great, watching the little people fight is fun. My only regret is a lack of the pillars collapsing, although if that's just because it was laggy and I didn't get far enough then touuchee.
I love the concept of moving the world around, very well done
Music was really nice, and gameplay was interesting. Well done.
Nice art!! Super funny game.
:) Very cool game! The music is excellent! And I really like the art and mechanics. Very clever, very fun!
This is very cool. The art is lovely, the gameplay is simple but very elegant, music is on point. Well done!
Bro this is crazy!!! I love it so much! I really like the art and I think the theme fits great! I'm sorry I couldn't 100% complete it, but I did the first few levels, and now I'm moving on to the next one!
I really loved this concept! I loved being able to moved my hex land around to knock enemies off the edge while my guys were fighting them :D
beautiful game! It feels vast with the tall pillars coming from the abyss. Really creative. I wish I understood why things happened like why people or land would fall and if I had any control over it. It's really fun to watch the little characters interact anyway, even if I didn't have control. Overall the game is gorgeous with a lot of potential. I hope you continue to develop it because I could see myself pouring time into a bunch of levels!
I really love the basic concept of this game. I think the mechanics need a little refinement but honestly I'd pay money for a fleshed-out version of this.
This is awesome. I love the concept and it fits the theme. The implementation is polished and adorable.
The art style is great, the game mechanic is creative and interesting, the SFX is on point. Honestly nothing to complain. One tiny confusion: I'm not sure if the physics works properly: sometimes the people falls when I move a little but sometimes they don't even if I move a lot.
Played it for almost 30 min. I loved playing it. visibility down was bad what made the last level a bit hard.
Really nice graphics and good music. It took me a bit to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. All in all, good game!
First things first, this game is beautiful. The concept for the gameplay was a fun take on similar games. The music was also very nice, allthough I wish it was a bit lower - or better yet, adjustable. But this could really become something. Congratulations:)
I love the whole hex towers moving around thing.
Well done!

The art, music, sound effects on this all come together to make a really nice "medieval skyland" vibe, and the moving pillars are a really interesting and unique idea. Sometimes I felt a bit clueless on what was happening and how to influence it (people falling off, battles being waged, columns falling down), but with some trial and error you can do a lot. Really well done!
Beautiful Graphics and great concept. However, at times I was confused, like other player here, about why my soldiers would randomly jump off cliffs and such.
I could see a very nice little age of empires game developing out of this prototype!
Nicely done!
Amazing graphics and audio! Cool concept of gameplay as well executed to a high degree of polish. Wasn't too sure about how to prevent units from falling off but overall this is super well done!
Looks sounds and feels amazing! Really outstanding concept Overall just a great game!
Lovely, enjoyed the concept a lot. good job on the execution as well! loved the gameplay , art and sound all fit together well. I think i would enjoy it more if the Victory was not really pausing the gameplay but rather small victory notification and let me keep going without resetting the world.
Such a good game! I really like the music! It really matches with graphic. Good job!
Cool game, the music and medievil theme feels fresh and unique, the game itself is fun and simple, I like it
Interesting gameplay idea! The art style matched the mood of the game quite well i think. Thanks for making it!
Had a lot of fun finishing the game. Amazing pixel art and the concept is really cool. It made me wonder if tiles contribute to max population? And do different tiles to different thing? Would love to see even more depth like that. It snowballed a little bit too much for my liking and waiting around for spawn did not seem to have any disadvantage, maybe the tiles could become unstable over time albeit much more slowly. Music was really good as well. Very solid Jam entry.
State of the art, it is what discribe that graphics. I love audio in the game, I want it more!. Nicely fit into the theme. I want more, its very fun game, release it on the steam after some polish. Inovation is what is describe this game, nice. Overall game is very very good, it is very good work, I love it.
One last note: I always write down honest review, because everybody need that, not just nice craps with some bullshit, but sometime I will aperceite very good games. So if this review insult you, but use it well :) Anyway every game is counting so :)
I don't know if there's more than 3 levels but I got stuck in the 3th one! I liked the art style and the concept.

Amazing work and my favourite game of this jam so far! Not only does it feel incredibly polished and is fun to play, but it's core gameplay concept is such a unique twist on RTS's! I could easily see this game being commercially successful if further worked on!
Terrific for a jam-game, thank you for bringing it to us!
Awesome game, very cool mechanic, those litle guys killing each other are priceless. Music helps the mood, great job overall!
This is great! One of my favorites so far. Music and art is great. The gameplay is fun. Letting your guys fight and conquer new buildings before trying to add more was a fun choice. Although I was confused as what the land with non-building graphics on them did since there was no resource counter.
@wamien oh! sorry about that. You can retry any level with R. Also you can switch levels using [P, O] keys. Thanks for playing!
Loved the music, loved the graphics, loved how it's controlled.
This guys fall so funny. Hope to see this game on mobile =)
This is a very solid compo entry, congratulations!
So polished! Really great idea executed brilliantly. Well done.
@lex this is a jam entry :smile: it would be cool to do something like this in solo compo though!
Excellent game! Loved the unique mechanics, and the sound design was superb. Now let's bow our heads to the hundreds of little men who fell overboard (and the probably millions lost at this point, both during development, and by other players). May they find peace in the down-below!
@uraffululz may the bottom collider have mercy on them and let their souls ascend to DontDestroyOnLoad.
Very interesting mechanic! Loved the whole idea and the mood, music and sound effects were great too. Didn't expect to see unit variety, so that was a great surprise!
It is great that outer slots decay first, so you can sort of build the way you like and protect important buildings. I'm having some issues to place the slots exactly where I want them but I guess it adds more to the chaotic nature of the game :stuck_out_tongue:
There is lot of possibilities to expand this game, from terrains with effects to more unit and building types. Hope you keep developing this one! I enjoyed it
Great Game! Would be really cool to have other moving lands hunting you.
I want more!!
Cool graphics and concept, and I loved the artstyle!
Great game, I like the mechanism of island movement .
The overall experience of art and music is great. I'm looking forward to a post-jam version
Great game, the concept is really innovative. Thought it's bit fustrating having your units fall randomly when you move around.
The presentation was great. The music and art worked together to make for an amazing game-world.
Unfortunately, I didn't find the game-play itself very engaging. Perhaps there was depth to the combat that went completely over my head; if so, a little bit more in-game help might have made it easier to engage with.
amazing game, super polished (even the cursor floating things have a shadow!!). I do feel like I don't have a lot of control over the gameplay, but it's a great concept that can become a full game with some more interactivity in my opinion (maybe choose which hex block in your territory your soldiers attack or what classes to upgrade hex blocks and soliders to)
Impressive amount of content for a jam game, oddly addicting when you get those empty castles. The idea of the game could very well become a real game with roguelike content or strategy upgrade features!
Oh I like the flies follow my mouse! Nice game,all of it seems so good. Maybe you can try to add more actions that can allow player to use different strategies~ Followed you and waiting for your new games~Wish you can try my game too~
Really amazing aesthetic and great feedback to the player while playing. Loved the sfx and all the subtle responsiveness you've managed to use. A really amazing submission, I expect this one to go far :D
I love the artstyle, looks amazing. Gameplay is fun too, I think adding keyboard controls would make it even better.
Woooww such a fun game. It's so dynamic and as a player I feel very free how to play it and it has strategies like RISIKO. Very cool concept and idea, I would pay for it on Steam!!
Pretty cool game! I don't know why, but I tend to love games with a hex grid :rofl:
@majadroid haha thanks! Trust me - playing hex grid games is much more fun than making them https://i.imgur.com/sf2is1f.mp4 :smile:
Amazing entry! Fun and interesting gameplay! I loved the graphics and the audio! I think one of the best of the jam!
@icxon I know, I also prototyped games with a hex grid. It's so much more work than a usual grid. But it's visualy so pleasant.
Really like how fluid controls are, and the game is really polished. Graphics and music are amazing too. Overall, really pleasant experience, great job!
Great looking game, very fluid. Strategy style games, especially hex, are hard to get working well, and you're moving your tiles around at the same time.
This is a unique game. I have never seen such a mechanic, I really liked it. The art is very cute and stylish. The game has a lot of interesting content. And the plot is also interesting. the workers are great fellows.
The visual is astonishing like a well polished game with great mechanics. The background music loop is too short and a bit repeated.
Damn, what a really great game. Music is like honey for ears. And gameplay is fantastic exciting!
this was a beautiful game! the music was gorgeous, visuals were great and the idea of moving platforms that slowly begin to crumble overtime was a very wonderful way to incorporate the theme! i could play this game for hours and not even think about it (and ill probably have to in order to beat it, as the yellow fairy people keep killing me XD)
Love the art, setting and music. Very atmospheric! I was just a bit confused on the parameters of how things work, so it was very hard find a strategy and I was just messing around until it worked
^ Same here, I couldn't understand what I should be doing, but art and music are really nice
Pretty music and graphics. Arrow should be a little more visible, and levels could be a little more challenging, but overall i spend good time with this game. Great job for a game jam :)
Вот что значит - маленькая жилплощадь. Когда-то королевства занимали тысячи километров, но, увы, теперь они обмельчали. И занимают пространство всего в один замок. Печально...
Спасибо!
I like the medieval feeling of the game, along with fitting hand-drawn artwork and well chosen music! I enjoyed playing the game, a concept of moving lands is really interesting and well made, even though I wasn't sure what made some parts of the land crumble more quickly than others :smile: Sadly I had some performance issues with 8 or more tiles getting attached to my main land, but it was still playable. Overall a solid entry!
Awesome game! Such a nice idea, really great concept for this theme. Love the art style, the animations and the music. I also like how the game progresses and introduces new elements.
Well done!
I love the art style and the gameplay is simple yet addictive. This game has a lot of charm!
Really interesting game! The mechanics are really unique and it's satisfying to build up a big chunk of land. Nice work!
I like the sliding hex grid idea and how the little guys will sometimes fall off for various reasons. Though it isn't good for me when my men fall, it is hilarious. Cool idea and good job on the execution.
This game is awesome :heart: I love the art style, the music and the gameplay in general :slight_smile:

interesting gameplay, cool art and audio, I like it!
Really cool ambiance, attractive idea, top !!
This game already has a nimpressive amount of content and there still is so much potential! It's really not hard to imagine this being developed into a "full" game! :open_mouth:
Very well done, super unique concept and well realised! Also extremely pretty and great choice of music!
The most original game I've seen in this jam. It took me a while to understand what was going on. There is nothing explanatory on the screen and not a small tutorial. But nothing that a few minutes playing doesn't solve.
Congratulations. I liked very much.
really love the game. wished it had a few weeks more of development, could've been very entertaining. also probably a great mobile game
Nice populous clone
cool concept!
The music is one of the best parts of the entry. I loved the gameplay as well. Good job!
It's really great to see another game that also created a world that directly impacts little humans haha! The art style (those clouds specifically) are so satisfying and enjoyable to look at. Great job, and quite exciting to see a game that shares some similarities :)
very cool game idea, mood comes across very well, music is very appropriate, congratulations on the contribution
(+) the controls are easy to use, though there is a need to be mindful & caucious
(+) art is cute in appearance,still what meaning certain objects has is quickly recognizable (fortresses & monsterhives etc.)
(+) multiple levels
(+) an arrow shows where is the next target, so getting lost on a map is prevented
(+) sound effects are crisp & the soundtrack feels fitting & enjoyable
(o) some options would be nice, like muting the music ... ok there is a button, nevermind
(+) multiple factions
(+) there is a manual restart
(-) where land tiles are added to the main cluster or when
(-) when there are gaps in the main cluster, the pathfinding for melee units is broken
(+) It's strategy, but with no building or unit control. It looks like Driftland, but is entirely a different game ... I call it fun, ok?
(+) fun concept, where navigation and assembling creates strategy & tactics
Hey this concept was awesome, the are was great and you r music really worked together well. Thanks for submitting it was a pleasure to play
Great game! You can really grow a big empire with land. I also liked the concept that the a piece of the land eventually sinks, falls down so that we don't grow too much. Which forces you to do LAND-MANAGEMENT, which is a good thing. Excellent audio. Exactly like the games where you're conquering land and kings. You got a excellent idea overall! 5/5 for this game.
I really liked this entry. The art and the music are wonderful in this. The gameplay is kinda slow but for me that was good! It was somewhat relaxing to play and just look at. The style was really pleasant to look as well and I loved how the objectives were handled. Great entry!
Maybe if the direction of the land-ship would have an effect on those falling soldiers, would be cool. Would like to see further developed the farm, windmill tile, etc.
Very polished and enjoyable game, well done! But why do my soldiers keep falling?
The most fun game I have played so far in LD49, good job guys.
Great game, a tutorial would've been handy even in the description for thick headed people like me.
Great job! The graphics, sound and music were all top notch. The mechanics were very unique and fit the theme really well, although I felt as though I had very little agency. I felt as though I had no control over how the soldiers fell or which pillars would fall. Perhaps adding more control over those "unstable" elements would make it more fun. That said, you really have the start of something great here!
Super cool game that I'm sure could get more refined with more time invested. Readability is a bit off but the game is playable, beatable, and very fun.
unique concepts that worked togheter well!
Your game was awesome ! I loved the music and the sound effects, it gave a lot of life to this tiny world :D It might have been made on purpose, but i thought that I was missing some UI elements showing the bonus or strength of each castle ;)
Nice and relaxing game! I really liked the graphics and sounds!
One more thing, instead of making the player always a 'sire' maybe at the start have them select between a m'lord or m'lady or something like that, then use that name in the play again prompt.
@michael-feldman great idea! Thank you for playing again.
Wow what an awesome game. Unbelievable quality of your game!
The graphics are awesome. Everything was produced with great care and care. You can see how visually beautiful your game is through the small details.
The sound is the same as the graphics. Amazing. Both music and sound effects.
And the gameplay is just amazing. I confess that when I saw the "cover of your game" I was interested in playing just for the graphics, and I didn't expect such a good gameplay. I was completely wrong hahaha. Literally every gameplay is perfect, and it works great. A nice lesson on how to offer a good level design to the player. It is possible to learn to play without even reading any instructions or tips.
Still talking about gameplay, it's a lot of fun to think of strategies to make your kingdom grow. All gameplay elements fit together perfectly. The player must know the ideal time to conquer other realms while knowing how to deal with the lifetime of each platform. Very elegant!
It's possibly the most creative and well-crafted game I've played in this gamejam. It was an excellent interpretation of the theme. Congratulations!
super creative! loved the art
fantastic game! the artstyle, the simple gameplay, great job!
Nice game, like the gameplay.
What a great game, do these little people move automatically or is there some way to control them. They gathered in the area that was about to collapse and then all died. sad
Can't believe audio is not a category! Thought you did great with that, great game you've made here, I had a lot of fun playing it, the hexagon collection system was super satisfying.
