very clever little game. from a simple usability perspective, being able to use keyboard WASD or arrows would be a nice QoL addition! thanks!

this game surprised me. i was not expecting to like it but gave it a try. i was instantly taken back more than 20 years to playing simple, early windows games. like a mini ratatouille moment. whether intentional or not, thank you for the undeniable feeling of nostalgia, which is one of the best things an older gamer like myself can experience
i thought the antennae were smiley eyes at first hahaha. amazing to pull together an RTS in this timeframe, well done!
impressive to put together in a game jam! tutorial still a bit tricky, perhaps give people more giblets to mess around at the start
great work! a little too much dialogue in the beginning (maybe 2-3x longer than i thought), maybe can be sprinkled in b/c i wanted to start running around immediately. i was gonna suggest remapping jump so you didn't have to use the same hand as movement but then i realized i'm dumb and there are 2 shift buttons so that was already done. i actually really liked the bite range/animation (having true melee range in this game would be rough)
i somehow am not sure if i unlocked shoot or not, in the tutorial it said i absorbed an ability but then being the dumb gamer i am wasn't sure what ability and didn't know until i read more that it was ctrl
well done team!
this is very very cute. the art is great and can't wait to see what else you come up with in this world! your comment on how grass and other mechanics work is helpful haha
not sure what happened but the play grid is misaligned, not on top of the white bkgd, so wasn't able to paly properly!

i will always like any worms/scorched earth like game!
very cute! a little tricky on mobile and was a little confusing at first
druid mouse got cakes
thanks for the wonderful feedback everyone! am new to this jam stuff, so didn't even realize i could reply to folk.
@davidsheadgames thank you! game is pretty imbalanced from throwing it all together quickly haha a lot more fun mechanics we can do now that we like the foundation. also looked into soft-lock issue, i think also people get hung up on being asked to discard at end of turn which we'll need to tweak
@rodgems @zeq thanks! lotta similar feedback around brigade confusion, so we may switch to making it a card that is always in your hand (maybe flips over upon use)
@ejunegao it's a little crazy but @nataku92 did the coding, music, and art. so yea they pretty much did everything, i just did some of the game design and... uh some words. very glad to hear the art is to your liking!
@coke thanks!! haha i just learned about this jam last week... you're right it could work for summon too!
@poboy we laughed a lot at this feedback. slay the wingspan was our starting point. so... boy do we have a game for you!
@hangovergames most definitely will work on a tutorial/first play next time!
@vhalenn thank you! yes game is definitely imbalanced but thank you for calling out the music!! @nataku92 did an amazing job with it
@sockenpuppe thank you! we're so glad you enjoyed it. and yea the 1000 hp challenge we just threw in last minute so that it didn't end too quickly. maybe adding an auto-button so it just spams all the brigades and ends turn would be a nice little feature!
thanks again everyone!! was a ton of fun
@miku yes exactly what we should do for a tutorial! definitely ran out of time, thank you for playing and enjoying the game!
@alem26 thank you for sticking with it! we will definitely work on the tutorial and UX!
@regmont haha thank you! adding the word "actually" before fun meant a lot here! hahaha
@kseniya @andriana-mantidfly thank you!!
@f1krazy thank you for taking the time to write us this thoughtful comment! i think what excites us most about our game is that it's just the beginning; once we have a basic foundation that we like, we can add a lot more interesting card mechanics for new strategies and synergies not only b/w the cards but b/w the heroes. hopefully we'll have more to share with you in the future!
remember its about the journey! what you learned and experienced is far more important than the “finished” product in a game jam. keep on trucking and good luck!
tried to play in browser but got an error:

hoping it'll work!
nice job! the background is a bit busy and makes it hard to see what’s going on a little but otherwise looks nice!
