Not sure if this is just a problem on my end, but the game crashes Chrome whenever I try to load it. I'm on a Mac. Good luck!

Game works fine here(Windows), really good graphics, my only feedback is that it felt a bit hard, 5 clicks to summon 1 acolyte and 5 sacrifices to generate one mana means 25 clicks per mana by sacrificing. Clicker with a time limit, fun hehe

@warren-fisher I will have to check that, was testing just Chrome in Windows, not sure what that could be, but thanks for the heads up!

@viniflores Thx a lot for feedback! Yeah, there is a lot to be adjusted and properly tested. Mana can be obtained also by sending some to worship place and also the summoning gives you some

the game kept getting stuck when i opened the wanna update, i couldnt do anything, and it wouldnt close. so you got some bugs to iron out here.

jin9310 2024-04-15 14:39

@jcmonkey that is strange, so you are saying that you couldn't even click to the initial circle or worship place? Would need bit more info as I haven't seen anything like that :/

The art is amazing, no surprise there. This kind of gameplay is not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate a well done game. Maybe it lacked some kind of tutorial (the menu one was confusing haha), because it took me a while to understand everything. But that's probably just my skill issue. Other than that, nice and charming game, congratulations for your first Godot game haha!

@iluvatar you are way to kind my friend :D Let's face it, it is not about your skill issue and unfortunatelly it is not a well done. I overscoped and planned poorly, but I have tried something I never done before (althought it did not fully work out) in new engine. Learned a lot and super glad for that... Now I just need to keep that focus and come back wiser for the next one ;)

Such a nice animations!

Like the art, took a couple of attempts to figure out it was a clicker. Good job on your first Godot game!

Nice assets! It was really hard for me to understand the gameplay though. For a long time I didn't understand that I have to click on the summoning spot multiple times and once I figured it out I still feel like there is a short summoning cooldown that makes it feel a bit weird. But after the initial confusion I was able to enjoy the game and defeat the evil wizard! But I felt that the play time per round is a bit too short and a bit to "clickheavy".

As everyone the art is really lively, i just wish i could see what the upgrades do, i managed to defeat the first two bosses!

Took me a bit to fully get going, but I liked the general exploration of the concept. I could see this turning into a nice little incremental idea if you choose to keep working on it.

Good game! At first, I struggled a bit, but then I figured out how to play! The pixel art is truly magnificent, making it a solid entry! Well done!

jin9310 2024-04-29 06:41

@oadt thanks a lot for playing, totally agree with you, it lacks a lot of info towards player that would help to clearly understand what is going on. Thanks for giving it a shot and for the feedback!

@larsievl congrats, I think you are one of a few that made it that far :) FYI, there are 4 bosses in total, but only the first 2 should have an image as well :D

@aarimous Thank you for stopping by. I am actually completelly reworking the idea so it will be a "proper" idle incremental clicker. I would like to update the game after the voting period is done. This genre is a new for me and I wanted to learn something new, so I want to make this step further, to help the learning process :)

@milq thanks, I believe that art is my stronger side, however code always sabotage all my efforts :D But I'll get there

I have tried for a very long time but was unable to win a single fight, despite clicking quite aggressively and trying to upgrade as much stuff as possible.. An easier difficulty level would be welcome! Apart from that, the pixel art is extremely well done, I loved it.

jin9310 2024-05-03 16:18

@samh the trick is to send a lot of little ones into the war camp ;) Thanks a lot for giving it a shot!

Really love the art and the animations. I couldn't win a single round at all, not sure if it was possible to win, I tried several strategies from pooling mana , building up a bigger army or massing the guys worshipping but couldn't get a win. It'd be cool to have an easy first victory , and then maybe ramp up the difficulty, or maybe some sort of indication of the first force I was up against ( they have 10 dudes and 20 mana or something ? )
