This is such a beautiful, atmospheric game. The audio is amazing, the artwork is awesome - really creates a great vibe! The variety of characters and enemies and environments is so cool - I can't state that enough! A touch of feedback, I'd say that it's almost too easy, and when you kill everyone, you're sat waiting for the gecko to walk! A great game nonetheless, I had great enjoyment playing this!
I loved the visuals and music.
My feedback is, our units can be visually more distinctable against the background. And I didn't understand they were our units till I selected them.
I generally love tower defense games, but you have been able to mix a tower defense with RTS mechanics, as well as great music and smooth gameplay, and I sincerely loved every second of it! Good job :smile:
This reminds me of some missions in AOE, it's really cool you did this much in such a short time ! The menu could be a little more polished, and the game could be balanced a little more, however I thought it was really nice !
Wow! Great visuals and music! Gameplay feels very nice. I thought this game is about an actual gecko, like the animal XD
This was probably the best game I have played so far! Really cool to see RTS game in Ludum Dare. However it breaks my heart to see the lack of polish in the controls. I wish you had spent less time on the awesome graphics and sounds and focused little bit more on the gameplay. Maybe you could have even removed one of the levels to polish the controls little bit. Also it felt weird that your soldiers were scattered all around the map. But still this game is damn impressive.
I loved the game ! Gameplay was very enjoyable, and both visuals and music were also well done! It really helped setting a good mood. :)
(I was also confused, I thought it was about the animal)
That's a cool game! But I think it would be better if when we click on unit, other will be deselected and when we click(shift+mousebutton), unit deselects.(I had troubles with microcontrol with current configuration)
Nice visuals & game play mechanics. Good entry for this theme!
Holly shit! The idea is great! Nice to see a some RTS game, but there is only controls from RTS and gameplay is not so satisfying. I understand that it's hard to create RTS game in 72 hours, but the only gameplay is to take the whole crowd and micro-control your units, there must be some depth, based on this mechanics.
The visual as kinda nice, I really like pixel art and you get a + for this, but there is an issue with stylization , because everything except forest and ground looks inconsistently.
Audio so far is best in this LD jam. Great work!
Defenetly it was interesting to play, and I get some emotions with art and sound, but it will be nice to see some building strategies where you put some houses and they spawn your units to remind some RTS genre :)
Great job on the entry! The visuals and gameplay mechanics are really impressive and perfectly fit the theme. Keep up the good work!
Im in awe at the scenery that you created. The mood and atmosphere are on point. I agree with others that the controls could need some additional work, maybe for a post Ludum version? Really enjoyed the game, super impressed what you put together in this short amount of time. Awesome job!
Very polished entry!!! Combat system and lightning are on point, had a lot of fun playing. Also rare to find a tower defense + RTS game in a jam, extra point for that 👏👏
Thanks for submitting it to my stream! Impressive what you achieved in the art and audio department in the alloted time.
Nice entry, lovely visuals. I had some issues using right-click: sometimes game didn't understand whether I try to move screen or give orders to units.
Cool take on a sort of reverse tower defence. Liked the visual style as well - character sprites had a sort of Age of Empires style pre-rendered 3D model as sprite feel to them which I'm a fan of!
Really loved the atmosphere and the art style, not so much of fan of the guns, though. Also the overall mood was nice, quiet, calm... did not expect this when fighting enemies :smiley:
Thank you so much for dropping by My stream! I really enjoyed the game :)
