This is a neat dungeon management game! It's pretty fun and a creative take on the theme. The only complaint I'd have is that once you start losing it's hard to get back on track; you get less and less souls back to mount your defense, until all you can do is throw out some skeletons. Still really fun though!
@peter-niles Thank you for your feedback!
Quite the entry, different from usual genre choices. I really enjoyed it, though I agree with the previous comment that it's hard to get back to track once it's a bit downhill. Really liked the overall atmosphere of it, but I must admit the font does get to the eyes a bit and it's hard to read labels at times, but nothing too bad, just takes more time than needed. Good work!
Wow, very difficult. Love the art style. My only idea for improvement would be to allow to pick the encounter order for the room (or maybe I missed something). Great submission!
Very nice game! I love your pixel art! There are some moments, that you could improve, if you want to. The font is hard to read, sometimes impossible. And the sound of texts nasty, I had to turn it off. I liked to receive funny praise after buying and moving skeletons. In general all lines are complex and funny! A bit slow starting instruction. I would like to dive into playing it much earlier. Wasn't very intuitive to find where to buy goblin and how to dig the second tile. I had to restart page few times, because nothing happened after I hover archer and I couldn't place skeletons in the room. Anyway these are only small comments, because in general the game is stunning! Congratulations!
I don't want to repeat previous comments, but it is really hard to recover once you lose a round. Some small texts are also nearly unreadable because of the font. Still a really fun game tho, i can't stop playing it!
That was a fun game! More difficult than it looks. Love the way you interpreted the theme and I really like managing dungeons. Thanks!
@boostas We originally had it built so the order you dragged units into the room was the battle order, but we cut that out thinking it would be too difficult to explain to the player, so instead we provide auto-ordering. Thanks for the feedback!
@nadia-pixel @jotson @raassh23 @svenerik Thank you everyone for the feedback!
Very cool game, my only issue is with the font that isn't very readable
Some explanation for the units would be nice (unless I'm blind and it exists). For example, i just realized that dark knight only attacks if it's on the front and i still can't figure out what ooze does. Also, set up 3x3 rooms with 1 dark knight + 7 skeletons and you can win pretty much every round hahaha.
@raassh23 haha yes skeleton spam is currently very powerful and not what we intended, we will publish a balance updated ersion soon. Ooze has very high attack but pretty much will instantly die. You can use it to oneshot the enemy frontline. At least that was the idea.
Pretty fun game, a nice concept and a well execution, congrats!
Awesome game! Skeletons are OP hahaha Once I built my 4x4 room, I had it filled with Skeletons + 1 Necro + 1 Knight and the enemies just couldn't take it. Had to stop on day 23, but I trully enjoyed it! Also, loved the tutorial dialogue hahaha Congrats!
Realmente não sei como conseguiu fazer um jogo tão completo em tão pouco tempo, bruxaria isso ai, hehe
Nice concept! Skeletons are op though :D Would love some more of this with multiple parties instead of one very powerful one.
@jozgames three programmers, three days, and a whole lot of coffee :)
@kujoen está passando a receita da bruxaria? eu anotei aqui, hehe
just how you guys managed to not only think of but also implement so many interesting mechanics while slaping a tutorial on top of it all is beyond me but I gotta admit this was one hell of an experience, I enjoyed this a lot, so much planning and strategy involved, I don't know if there is an ending but I couldn't reach it lol, my strategy was to keep weak units in the first rooms mainly skeletons to drain the healer ability then one final big room with ogres healer and skeletons shooting from the back, it worked for a while but I got overwhelmed eventually. I can only imagine how much work this all took, even the details like units stats and combat design, you really did a neat job here fellas!
the little guys are very cute! i liked building up a team but once they were wiped out it was hard to get back to it. also, i found a bug where i don't lose lives after i restarted? really great work!
Good work, very playable and polished! It wasn't clear how units work, an explanation of each unit would be nice. I did run into a bug, if you do not place the room correctly in the tutorial, then it gets stuck.
Really interesting genre of choice, the art and sounds comes together really nicely to the mood, the only "problem" I could mention it's that the font it's kinda hard to read
Awesome idea, good job guys. Perhaps the tutorial could be split into several steps.
Really fun game. My only criticism would be that expensive units are bad, like, really bad. Demon is useless, ooze is just black knight but worse. Only the skeletons, black knights, and the necromancers seems to be only the ones worth getting. I Went to day 25 just by spamming black knights, one necro, and tons of skeletons. Other than that, it is pretty enjoyable.
I found the game to be very engaging. The idea is excellent, and if you continue at this pace, you'll surely establish yourself as a professional
Great game abd great implementation! I used the same sprite sheet for another project a while ago btw :p
