Really fun to play. I like the little easter eggs on the desktop! I think you uploaded the dev build tho :D

Interesting idea. I failed to get past the second level after many attempts.

It's a fun concept, but there's some hurdles keeping me from beating the game.

For one, the performance is pretty bad. My framerate is pretty low as is, and it goes even lower during cutscenes. I even see console messages that the game is using too much graphics memory.

Secondly, the gameplay is very hard. It took me many tries to beat the first level. And it doesn't feel like I got better and was able to overcome the challenge, it felt like I got lucky spawns that were actually manageable.

Thirdly, it can be a bit buggy. If I get to the cutscene on the first level then lose, then I hit "try again", the next time the cutscene won't play anymore and I'll just lose instantly. So I have to quit every failed attempt. Also, the one time I got to level 2, I placed down a Knight to kill a row, except it didnt kill the enemy, and I lost because of it.

I really wanted to like the game because I think it's a fun concept, but as is, it's too frustrating. Regardless, I hope you had fun making it! There's definitely potential here :smile_cat:

Thank you all for playing our game and for useful feedbacks, we've fixed major bugs regarding parameters of enemies, optimization, and ally damage issue in our newest version 1.42, that can be downloaded using the same link above.

I love the story the textures are on point and the shading is awesome, 10/10!

The wave after the glitchy queen thing didnt start for me. I couldn't read the stuff about the queen fast enough. I guess I missed something. It was a lot of fun until that point though! Feels kinda like startcraft or something where you need to micro your units while also building stuff :D Even with multiple people it's super impressive that you did this in 3 days!

I enjoyed the game, completed it entirely (though there were a lot of bugs =)). From what I encountered:

- Placing 3 bishops will bid you farewell with your sound.

- The character kept flying off the map all the time.

- Figures are poorly placed on the bottom row.

- It simply becomes impossible to place figures.

- Very long menu loading times (I understand it's justified gameplay-wise, I won't spoil), but for a PC with NVMe SSD, 4090, and 128 GB RAM, it's strange.

Otherwise, I really liked the concept, the initial cutscene, and the idea with the menu. It turned out great, looking forward to the continuation =) And yes, I've rummaged through all the folders, but there are no keys to the crypto wallet XD Thank you, good luck!
