@joe40001 I beat it using midair spring jumps :smile:
Pretty whack, but alright
Bear looks funny
I kept falling through platforms randomly. I liked it though.
I like the concept. I made a custom card that is just really strong and easily won the last level. The zombie card is interesting. Maybe you could do that when you make a busted card the opponents cards level with it. It'd be cool. :smile:

I like a lot about what you put down, but I think one issue could be that the upgrades you buy won't matter in the long run apart of influencing the amount of health the big guys have. That's because your income is practicly unaltered by the upgrades you buy, where usually in a competetive game between two equal players there is some snowballing in the mechanics to speed up the game after one player is winning consistently, think of HearthStone where if your opponent has way better cards on the field the game is usually over within a few moves, or some other game you play doesn't matter. Meh, this could just be my oppinion lol.
I'm happy, and I frankly don't know why
For anyone who doesn't understand the controls, you first hold space without holding a direction and once menu pops up you press the direction of the spell you want to use.
@oller125 Generally you use the fire spell to beat the other enemies you summoned. If you have a large group of fire enemies you could one of the other spells to bring down the numbers. If there are only a couple enemies left you can start attacking them with melee. It's designed so that it's impossible to attack large groups of enemies with melee, good luck.
@cananaman Sounds really whack, never had this happen to me! Thanks for playing
@sevenso Hmm.. I think there is a weird bug going on, that I haven't come across myself. You should be able to attack when there is no enemy near you. Thanks for giving it a try!
In my opinion it started alright but quickly turned into trial and error the game, because you don't know what you're looking for. Especially putting lemonade on the drum seems far fetched. Kinda have to use the cheat sheet.
Nicely done for a jam
Staying left is the strat. I like a good strat.
I managed to get 2 and I'm proud.
Bit jank, but alright
Pretty good game, could use some balance and my finger hurts now.
Wow, way more fun than it looks. I really liked the mix of brick breaker with pikmin. I think you should look into that. There a lot of things in this game though that could start to annoy you if it were a bit longer, like the little guys getting stuck behind every corner. But if you spend longer on this game you should be able to iron those things out and give the guys a proper AI and stuff.
Obviously the looks of this game don't deserve to be in a museum, although it wouldn't be too out of place with the crap they put in there nowadays, but at least it is coherent, which goes a long way in making it look pleasant for your eyes. Well done!
I like it. One tip I would give is try to have the same pixel size for everything on screen. That is easier said then done though obviously, especially when working in a team.
I personally didn't really like it, that might just be because of my terrible laptop.
