I don't really get the gameplay. Is there a difference between different platform types? Also the web player on itch.io is too small, yo could increase the hight a bit. I like the graphics and animations, the water effect looks nice.
Fun to play and a very good concept for a puzzle game. Well done :)!
I had a hard time getting used to the controls. Would have preffered to steer with mouse movement. Other than that a really great entry, sound design is great as well. Easily in the top 10 games I've tried so far.
It could just be me, but I really don't like the attack being mapped to "Z". A lot of games do it that way and I don't really see why. I don't find it particularly convinient for either layout(qwerty/qwertz). Wouldn't it be better to have it on CTRL or somwhere near the wasd (Q or E). Feel free to prove me wrong :).
Other than that I really like the game. The art looks amazing, both background and charcter design! The sound design was great as well. Really nice entry overall :thumbsup:.
@nablaz I used left hand for movement (wasd, space) and right hand for attack and interaction (z and up, also I'm on a qwertz keyboard, so the layout is a bit different). If attack is on CTRL you can use either hand to trigger it which is... handy :P. This is not a big criticism and the game is perfectly playable the way it is, I'm just wondering why Z is often used as the attack button when you consider the difference in qwertz/qwerty keyboard layouts.
Love the monster design and the health bars, really cool.
Quite fun. After the level 15 I barely needed to upgrade my stats and downgrade enemies tho, so I just stacked a lot of points (see picture below). Also maybe it would be more interesting if weapons and potions were something you would use for tougher fights and would only last for the duration of 1 round.
One thing that wasn't really clear to me was if stat points debuff all the following enemies or just the current enemy.

The death sound effect gets a bit annoying after a while, other than that it's a great entry. Love the art and animation :)
Really nice art style, good sfx, fun to play and overall nicely polished. Good job :)
Corners can be exploited a little bit. If you manage to trap the "ball" between your character and the corner you can get a lot of points. Maybe an octagonal arena or something like that would help.
Great job on the UI/UX.
@hollebecq-baptiste Thanks. You can buy other spells in the grimoire on the left side by using points. You get points with kills (farmer - 1, knight -3).
@ic-rainbow Backspace resets the word and there's some sound cues if you're mistyping. Should have done a better job of communicating it visually.
I agree, custom dictionaries would be pretty cool :).
@adinimys WebGL and linux versions are now available.
@automatonvx Thanks, all valid carticism, will fix it in a post jam version. The points are the score shown in the grimoire.
@Croped Thanks :). During development I initially made the "following" camera, but in a lot of cases it couldn't cover the whole army so I changed it to be controlled by the user instead. I plan to do an improved version of it for a later release. It will also have an amazing new feature never seen before, called "The Zoom Button".
@akitl Hm, did you try both downloadable and web versions?
@akitl Haven't heard of this happening to anyone else. Try the downloadable version or another browser maybe.
I tried the game and I can't seem to get past the second wave. With starting resources you can only build one tower and it's not enough to kill the two enemies. Am I missing something? It would also be nice to have some feedback of when the tower is firing (at least an audio effect, if not visual). I do like the look of the game.
@ioan-pop There are instructions in the main menu. When the square at the bottom of the screen is green you can click on a tile and press space to build a tower. Insutrctions say you can build on the left side of the screen, but it seems you can only build on the right.
Sorry for double post, site error.
Loved it, good puzzles and a really cool concept.
I'm confused by the mechanics as well. Maybe desribing the objective and interactions in the description would help. The game looks interestingo tho, I like the visuals.
Very cool concept, but I found it difficult to tell what exactly is happening. It would be useful to have some cues to fish interaction. Also it would help to have contrasting colors for prey and predators.
As mentioned before, jumping is a bit unresponsive. Also sometimes I would instantly lose 2 hearts when hitting an enemy. Maybe you could make the character invulnerable for a fraction of a second after getting hit once.
Other than that it's a really fun game. I like the mechanic of not being able to stop and the way it's introduced in the tutorial.
Very buggy, but looks like an interesting concept. If you make some post jam fixes, I'd happily try it again.
Just a thought - maybe it would be easier to control buildings if you selected them with a mouse click and then move and rotate them with a keyboard?
Also it would be nice to have a restart button when you lose the game.
Relly nice graphics ands sound. Probably the most polished game I've tried so far.
Loved it! Very impressive for 3 days work.
I was going for a similar concept with my game, I also had and elevator and shadowy figures :). This gave me a pretty bad case of motion sickness tho (I get it with certain fps games, in this one it was low fov and slow character movement). But from what I played I liked the visuals and the general mood.
Nice. I liked the hat mechanic.
Relly fun game, I'd play more of this. Well done :)
Couple of minor ux things that I was mssing: - Would be nice if there were some icons next to the assets. - The ability to sort assets, or at least have non-fucntioning rigs at the top. - Market price could be shown in the top bar.
