Damn!!! That was fun!!! Got a cramp in my finger from Goblin Summoning, but yeah. Good job!!

Thanks for the fun play.

Makes me think a bit of the old flash game "Age Of War". Nice idea and implementation, would be nice to have some music and more feedback when interacting with the buttons and all

That was a fun little battler. I liked the animations of the little minions and the summoners! It actually took me three rounds to win, so the difficulty seems right. :) I couldn't really figure out what minions are good against each other and where my souls come from - I'm not sure if that could be improved with some visual feedback. And I just spammed the summon buttons, since there were no soul costs. But it worked, I won. The dramatic music went well with the athmosphere, too.

This game is really fun and well done, I spammed the goblins like crazy to win, you had a very good idea for this theme. Very good work, keep it up!

Quite fun game, nice job! This is so satisfying to spam the skeleton button and absolutely swarm the ennemy with your minions. I really like the idea for your game, it definitely could be expanded upon with new mechanics and some balancing!

It felt a bit too easy since I could just spam the summon buttons without any real strategy. Adding some cost or cooldowns might make it more challenging and engaging. Also, it would be cool to see more variety in the types of minions, like adding archers or different classes to spice up the tactics. Overall, a fun game, love art here, but with a bit of tweaking it could become more interesting.

Really enjoyed this, good job! Really loved the art style and the animations - mushroom is a personal highlight but it all looks great. Think the gameplay is really solid, there's something very satisfying about summoning a huge army! Could see this working as a fun level based game where you fight different enemies with different approaches to summoning minions.

Cool game! Nice music and animations. Hard to figure out which units are good against which, but it was fun.

Good game, I'd definitely play more levels of it. Happy first Ludum Dare!

I Like it, straight forward approach, had lots of fun spamming monsters and watching them feast on the enenemys :D A bit of variation or progression would probrably have been nice, but since you did it solo in 2 days, its stunning to see how well and smoothly it works!

That was fun. I really like the artwork. Spamming the button to get an entire screen full of goblins was satisfying, though a bit easy to win that way. The goblins are overpowered when they start stacking up.

Because winning was simple, I tried to see how long I could make the battle last, my longest was was 3:13

Cost values on the buttons and greying them out when you don't have enough souls would have been nice. More info about the different summons would have been useful too. Enemies don't stop appearing after you win.

Was thinking about a similar game to make :D Nice pixel art and atmosphere!

It turned out to be a duel of necromancers! I had fun, thanks for playing!

Very addictive game, although if you spam goblins, it becomes quite easy. It would be great if the graphics matched better and there was more content in the game. In any case, good job!

Cute little game, had fun, great job, thanks!

Very nice Game. I really enjoyed the Auto Batteling experience.

What I liked: - Autobattling - Hordes of Enemys slaying each other. - There is some sort of Comeback Mechanism. - You need Strategy to win. Just smashing one Button will lead to lose.

What i disliked: - No Progression, more Enemies/Levels with different kind of "AI"-Behaivor. - Some kind of "Chess"-System. Where one Kind can Counter the other. - More UI Help. How much Souls do I need for a specific Kind of Enemy. - Some sort of Stats for the Monsters. Like Def, HP or ATK.

Overall: Superb Game. Realy impressive that for an one person Game!
