How did you/your team interpret the theme?
You control a group of evil minions and fight bosses based on fantasy hero archetypes, the goal of the game is to defeat the heroes.

How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
It was my first jam more than 72 hours so I wasn't sure how big to set my scope. I'm glad I did it because I learned a lot and had fun.

Great job!

Loved the art and the music, definitely felt like something was off a bit with the controls (maybe caused by the mouse moving with the camera) but in some cases it felt like the little guys didn't know what they needed to do.

Overall you did fantastic on this great work!

Nice art, and good challenging gameplay!

Very cute! I was not expecting Wizard to be so buff. It gave me a laugh. I do wish there was some way to better tell the acolytes "please get in a line formation so we can pass through this trap." Some shortcuts to change formation would be neat, as would power ups. But this is a really fun concept!

Fun concept, but seems really hard, I need more training !

Really cool! I like the concept and it's a lot of fun! It's a nice strategy game :D

The game is really fun! I think it is such a simple concept that it feels really easy and enjoyable to play.

I really liked the mechanics. I wish different classes have differences (maybe there is but I couldn't realise). Very clever game. It was fun

Developer

the different classes are different but generally use the same mechanics so I agree that the fights can feel a bit samey.

Really liked this one, it was more challenging than I thought. I really like the music and the art is quite good as well. Well done :D

Excellent game! Simple yet challenging. I really enjoyed this. The art is beautiful and the music / sound effects work nicely. 

I would absolutely love to play a bigger version of this with more spawn types and powerups. Great job :)

Nice game! I liked the variability in sprites between the levels, and the different projectile types were fun to play against.
