Very cool game, I had a lot of fun with this one! It's so simple in terms of input, you merely have to press the spacebar, but it's all in the timing of the presses. The problem with many 'simple input' games is the balance, too often things either get too difficult too quickly, or they never become difficult, unless you're inept and can't press a button. You however, managed to get the balance just right, in my opinion. Sure, by the end of it, you're mashing the spacebar because the nearest kid might be a while away, but the balance comes with trying to train enough soldiers before the armies from hell pop out, and you got this balance just right!
The problem, as others have pointed out, was with the kids' AI, constantly getting stuck on buildings. This seemed to resolve itself eventually, as the armies of hell would do me a favour (or, I suppose, themselves a favour) by destroying the buildings that were in the way, so that I could continue sacrificing. In that sense, you managed to balance away the problem! The AI getting stuck is still an issue though, and should be resolved if you work on this further (which you absolutely should, it's great fun!!).
Overall, a fantastic game, I thoroughly enjoyed playing it through to the end! Watching my village grow, and then be almost completely destroyed by the end, it was a beautiful cycle! I was victorious, by the way, but only just; my last soldier managed to win the game for me :D .

Fantastic take on the theme, you've created a very well balanced game! The controls are a bit of a pain to get used to, and I'd love a score at the end, but other than that, I have no complaints! I absolutely loved the music, especially the fact that you managed two, brilliant sounding (even if simple) music tracks. Excellent job!

A great take on the theme! Having to balance between planting, or rather 'investing' your health for later, and having a health bar was a tough, yet rewarding job. It was a choice between either having riskier early levels, or virtually impossible later levels! My only criticism would be with the fact that nothing's stopping you from accidentally planting too much of your health within the planting stage; on more than one occasion I ended up accidentally killing myself because of pressing space once too many times. But that is just a small criticism, overall I very much enjoyed playing your game!
