fedir 2022-10-04 12:08

save-sloth-studios 2022-10-04 12:12

The cover art looks really nice, I would like to play it:(

faust-mi 2022-10-04 12:13

No link to play((((

krakadushka 2022-10-04 12:19

@melbadream @dileriuml @fedir @save-sloth-studios @faust-mi Omg, this is really stupid ahahah. We uploaded files to itch, but forgot to upload there) Thanks very much for responses! It helped a lot)

faust-mi 2022-10-04 12:27

@krakadushka - it's now : The developer has not uploaded a game yet...

faust-mi 2022-10-04 12:29

@krakadushka - worked! \o/

save-sloth-studios 2022-10-04 12:50

Super nice intro and graphics all the way! I was very bad at managing my teams in this, good thing I'm not actually working in this field haha. But really cool idea for the game!

bredera 2022-10-04 13:12

The intro cinematic is really nice and the gameplay is simple but fits the theme really well. Reminds me of some flash games that i played when I was younger good job on the entry!

theorioli 2022-10-04 13:19

Great presentation! I love the concept of a war game where you play the logistics, and not the actual war. I wish the UI was more responsive, it was a struggle to scroll through the lists and buy new supplies.

mantou 2022-10-04 13:37

Very stylish animation. Give soldiers equipment in ten seconds is a cool idea.

fedir 2022-10-04 13:41

@krakadushka great game by the way)

velvetlobster 2022-10-04 15:10

this is full of style and personality, thanks and soldiers are really well detailed, its like a darker version of that old flash games style, love it

eerongal 2022-10-04 17:12

As others have said, the visuals on this are really great. Great little game, nice work!

sayurinyooko 2022-10-04 18:07

Oh, such a game! It's so terrific and so living. Thank you for that! First, I didn't understand what should I do and let my soldiers without any weapon...

niccolo-temperanza 2022-10-04 20:00

It is a very interesting twist on either the tower defense or autochess genre. I might be wrong on the genres as I'm not particularly familiar with them, in fact I suck at this game and lost the war pretty quickly. That being said I think it's spectacularly presented, I enjoyed it a lot.

krakadushka 2022-10-04 20:54

@sayurinyooko ahah, sounds scary) Yeah, you right, tutorial would be be good for that game, thanks!

nicekot 2022-10-04 21:53

You went all in for the style, huh

The actual gameplay is tense and the points constraints are brutal. However, with such tight timing you could definitely improve the "hitboxes" of the buttons and items. When you try to refill your stock you have to click all over the button just to find the spot where it will work. Same with the items pictures. You try to drag and drop quickly, but you miss at least one pixel of the picture and the item is not picked up. Which kinda breaks the flow.

krakadushka 2022-10-05 10:19

@nicekot yeah, good remarks! Thanks for the feedback.

krakadushka 2022-10-05 16:46

Guys and gals! We uploaded fixed build (only minor changes) so you can play it with much more comfort)

nodli 2022-10-05 19:42

A really awesome game. Great visuals, awesome idea, good sound design. Well done !

tomga 2022-10-05 19:54

Very well made game! The intro was just amazing, and the gameplay was very fun. The graphics and audio was also very good, but buying items was very hard. I was spamming the shop buttons just to buy 1 item. Otherwise fantastic game!

talenvin 2022-10-05 21:44

Impressive quality of polish. The mood is there and it works really well. The gameplay is cool and really creative, but i found it a bit difficult for me (I didn't even figured out that you could buy stuff). Maybe you can provide more feedbacks to the player with a timer and an explanation for buying stuff ?

Otherwise, it is really impressive, congrats !

krakadushka 2022-10-05 22:45

@talenvin thank you for the feedback! It is a good remark about shop button, so we'll think about that)

0x-void-x0 2022-10-06 22:09

I could not win a single round for the life of me lol, I blame whoever put me in charge alright.. I think my favorite thing about this game, which is something I'm yet to see any other game do (including mine) is how the tutorial is clear and understandable without saying a single word, I instantly understood that I have to rank up and that a space force attacked earth etc.. based only on images which is a really nice thing! the art style is great although that last image when you loose caught me offguard lol. the story telling is always a plus and the gameplay is fun as well. awesome work!

weine 2022-10-07 10:42

A grim imagining of a bad situation. I liked the visual style and the game mechanics felt polished and balanced - and integrated with the theme. The only annoying thing was that purchase buttons seemed buggy and I lost a lot of time clicking all around in the boxes.

willoxs 2022-10-07 11:13

Style was great with the ww1 in space aesthetics. But the interface felt really clunky and unresponsive. Pretty much as nicekot already said.

One minor nitpick would be that the icon for the restock points feels a bit out of place - a medival gold cup just doesnt fit the setting.

I like the main game loop idea and the mini battle visualizer on the top its really charming.

shaolin-dave 2022-10-07 20:11

I'm clicking the web player and all I see is a dark screen with a blinking face. Even scrolling around it looks like it's just a huge face and I can't progress any further.

faust-mi 2022-10-08 09:37

Great military concept. Great implementation of the mechanics of 10 seconds!!! Exelent sound and art style!

And yep:"A grim imagining of a bad situation." Gread job!!!

adriangray 2022-10-16 18:50

Great game, good concept, a bit fast to give all the stuff ) Feels like I got destroyed a bit at the start then balance never changed, could be a bug? The idea is very nice!

3ncryp73d 2022-10-17 20:21

Nice game! Feels pretty polished. Could definitely use a couple extra levels, I would have loved to keep playing ;)

Took me a failed playthrough to get that I had to double-click to buy, might wanna change that to single clicking (I also think speed is more important here than preventing accidentally buying something).

Overall great game!

krakadushka 2022-10-17 20:34

@3ncryp73d thanks for the feedback about buying stuff! It really helped me, because I didn't understand other commentors, who said, that it is hard to buy something. Now I did :smile:

krakadushka 2022-10-17 20:37

@adriangray thanks for the feedback! To be honest, first battle usually a player can't win, because his equippment is bad) But it isn't mean anything, because he earns money very fast and starting to buy better things
