Laughed out loud when the well was destroyed! Really funny game!
Really fun! Often quite difficult to know the effect of removing a particular object, but maybe that's part of the fun ๐ lovely little game
Such a lovely and relaxing game! The music is fantastic and so atmospheric. And the graphics are really good!
This is so good! So addictive, fits the theme amazingly, and I can't get past the second wind... YET!!
This was a really interesting game! I love voting methods, so found this super interesting to play! The dialogue was funny too ๐
Loved it!! A very good balance of difficulty, and of course some fantastic particle effects (I would expect no less from a Matt Barnfield original! :wink:)
A little hard to figure out where to go after I got the supersonic powerup, as I hadn't noticed beforehand that that metal door starts open at the beginning of the loop, but I figured it out :grin:
Very very good!!!

This is really, really great! A fantastic balance of difficulty here, and I had some really nice "oh!" moments as I realised certain things about the game. It's really difficult to convey the controls and gameplay without words, but you did a bang-up job, well done :blush:
@misterkeefe thanks for your feedback!! I agree about the chilled-out music, but keep playing... there are two more tracks that I think you'll find a lot more fitting :wink:
@jonrei Thanks so much for playing! Making all the cards and music in such a short time was really challenging :sweat_smile:
Yes, we would have liked to implement the ability for some area-effect cards to not damage the caster -- really in my opinion only the fireball should damage the caster!
The wings do actually function as intended, they are supposed to make you choose to trade-off between harming the enemy and harming yourself, but we generate the card text from the effects so the description doesn't convey this to the player very well!
Really fun game! Reminds me a lot of Nimbatus, except I like that you can rebuild in the middle of a battle!
Controls are a little difficult, I think I'd prefer if you _always_ face the mouse, and clicking is what fires, then maybe you can hold down the space bar to enter build mode and it pauses for you :blush:
Music is really catchy too! Love those 4 ride cymbals leading into each section :grin:
Really nice!! Quite fun trying to speedrun the levels :smile: I just wish there were more stages, and some music and sound effects!
This was so much fun! I organised them vaguely in alphabetical order :sweat_smile: I loved the ending too! And the sounds of the objects moving around inside the packages was a fantastic touch :blush:
This is so much fun, I was properly chuckling when he started complaining about needing to go to the toilet! Really funny and fun game :blush:
@olenikimid thanks so much for the feedback! The pleasant-ness of placing buildings is all thanks to @matt-barnfield 's particles and SFX :grin:
The music was me! I'm so happy you found it unobtrusive, I also struggle to walk the balance between "doesn't distract from the game" and "is good and interesting" :sweat_smile:
There's been a lot of love for the music, so I'm thinking of putting it up somewhere by itself so people can listen at leisure!
Really great game! A bit confusing to figure out how the "connecting" mechanic works, and I kept forgetting which of the two numbers was how much power I have and how much power I need :sweat_smile: I played about ten times in a row before remembering I had stuff to do!
Absolutely love the low-poly buildings! I made some for our game but I think yours look much better than mine, well done!
Really great and touching game! Incredibly clever mechanic as well, really liked it ๐
