Love the concept

This is great, I love the cold open and the music changing randomly on upgrades and the GNOOOOOOOOOOOMEEEE when the guy dies, and the gnomes themselves exploding and most importantly the

YOU'VE BEEN

GNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED

I love everything about this. One challenge I've seen with really small-scale strategy games like this is the meta is almost always "greed economy as far as possible, then spam units", and the design challenge becomes how do you punish greed such that you can't freely do this. But idk, anyway I really enjoyed this :D

That's a cool game, kinda addicting I have to admit :laughing: I love the gnome sounds! Good job!

BTW, I think there is a bug where the money gets carried over if you immediately restart after losing.

The music remixes are nice! I think tying them to something other than the buttons would've sounded better. Spamming units was OP tho, nice game!

ahaha this is amazing, I had a lot of fun, good job and keep going!

The sound effects lmao. Simple but fun. I ramped up gnome production and economy early before dumping into stats.

Graphics are mid but fit the together - adds to the theme, love the UI for upgrades, camera angle is a lil odd imo. Gameplay is fun which is all the really matters. well done.

Cool concept, there are a lot of particles, but it feels like the ai just outscales you, for them starts to spawn only giant mobs but for me only small, maybe i was doing something wrong idk. I damaged ai base to half hp and then the ai just started spawning only big mobs, so the whole map was full of their giant mobs and i couldn't do anything. The game looks simple but it's fun so nice job.

LOL, this reminds me of the good old days playing Stick Wars. Very fun and simple system of "gotta grow econemy" but also "gotta fight enemy"!

Simple fun game, funny little 3d models. I won too!

The graphics and camera angles are well done, and the music is lively and fun. It's interesting to watch the battles unfold, but I found it really unclear what to click on during the game.

It would benefit from a start menu, a tutorial, and some in-game hints to help guide the player. Adding these elements would make the experience much smoother and more engaging.

Overall, there's a lot of potential, but a bit more structure would go a long way!

Very cool game!

Nice jam game, the explosions are a little too blinding and the money didn't reset after each round but I did like the upgrade system.
