It doesn't fit the theme perfectly, being every 10 turns instead of every 10 seconds, but the artistic polish really holds the game together. The intro was awesome and the I love the VO. Definitely some interesting tactical decisions to make, that last level was really tricky
WOW! What a polished game. The credits stated a lot of people which sometimes makes it hard to pin point the exact vision. I feel like you all have accomplished that. I accidentally pressed ESC during a battle and then started again and had to watch the intro twice (luckily the intro was very well made).
Interesting combat idea and a unique take on the theme. I would argue that it's not 100% fitting to "every 10 seconds" but I still very much enjoyed the game loop.
That intro cinematic was really well done and I loved it I even watched it twice just to see the amazing art pieces again. The game has not the best theme implementation but it was a pretty tough theme to be creative with besides things changing every 10 seconds. The turn based combat worked well and the gameplay was smooth. Awesome job!
Considering that "hoprlite" is one of my favorite games, i found the same feeling and fun. Super impressive details, graphics (the intro is a masterpiece) and gameplay ! This theme was so hard to implement... I agree with other on that point, you need to exchange time by turns. WELL DONE
"At the ready!" Awesome turn-based combat. I really liked the way units could attack multiple enemies if they were positioned properly. The mix of units was just right -- enough for tactical variety without getting overwhelmed. Lot of fun!
I'm surprised at the amount of comments saying "every 10 seconds" doesn't count for turns, haha. I think this fits perfectly fine!
This is a very polished game! It's very impressive to have such professional output in such a short amount of time, especially for a tactics game (with voice acting!) like this.
I think that your game fits perfectly fine with the theme, also i'm very enjoyed by quality of graphics, it really looks professionnal ! Keep going like this !
Neat little design. Maybe it's been done before, but I've never seen a game remove targeting like this and let you optimize risky placements as damage opportunities like this before. It works really well!
The intro is polished to the point this could be in a retail game. Even the voice acting is good, with a nice post process. Well done.
No obvious bugs or missing features, and it's quite fun to play.
Well done!
I enjoyed this game! The intro is really well done and the gameplay overall had me thinking about taking risks and seeing its consequences, in the end I managed to beat the game!
Sick introduction with the art, the voice and the history. I loved the turn-based system, it's really fun to play and easy to understand. Congratulations.
I like it! It's like asymetrical chess. It's very simple and easy to learn. The aliens remind me of that Edge of Tomorrow (All You Need Is Kill - manga) time travel technology. This mechanic is very fun and is easy to build onto. It was a fun couple of minutes! :smile:
Love the way this game plays.
The Intro and Tutorials are really well done.
Got some StarCraft Protos vibes. smile
awesome - love that protoss vibe :space_invader:
Came for the "turn-based strategy game". Stayed for the impressive design and sound effects/music. ..And gameplay of course. Good job!
Great game! I'm impressed that it's possible to create a hex-based turn based strategy game in a gamejam :)
The intro is amazing. I really love how finished this feels, almost too finished for a GameJam game... :thinking:. As others have said it doesn't really fit the theme perfectly but a very nice entry nontheless.
the intro cutscene is really high quality ! art and sounds (musics / sfx) are greats ! gameplay is good !
Well done! That was fun and really easy to get into.
Really cool game, intro art is awesome and the gameplay and idea are really nice. Great job!
Nice guide level! The opening animation does a good job of setting the mood. The hexagonal field worked well with the game mechanics and gave me good feedback visually. The sound effects go well with it too!
The gameplay was very interesting and the game experience was good. Great work!
Incredibly polished as the other comments say. Very good tutorials-as-levels to get you up to speed.In particular, the sound/music are really impressive, love the little replies that your troops give you. Well done!
Awesome chess-like game !
Wow - what an incredibly polished game! The audio/sfx/voice acting and art was superb, and the levels were really well balanced, starting off nice and simple, introducing the mechanics, before getting progressively harder and harder. I had a lot of fun playing this very impressive game!
Really cool game. Its definitly my type of game
Games look very polished! Buuut, not fitting theme a bit, but i think it would super fun if such turn-based combat would fit in 10 seconds. Really like the art!
amazing intro cinematic, well guided tutorial, last two levels were very challenging. Overall excellent work! :clap:
Brilliant turn based strategy! Loved the ability to undo my move as it helped to keep a high pace and allowed me to just try out different scenarios. The theme interpretation is a bit weak as you just equate turns with seconds. The thematic "turn back time" mechanic helps to sell the idea of turns being related to time.
The intro was just also completely insane for a jam and really sold the setting to me.
Very nice! It's a complete and polished experience. I noticed no bugs or strange behavior.
The in-game art is very nice, and the colors are exquisite. The intro is just awesome. Both music and sfx are also great and fitting.
Interestingly, I found level 9 more challenging than level 10. It was the only one I had to retry to beat.
Lots of fun. Good ramp up in difficulty and mechanics. The art style and intro really set the mood. Nice work!
