How does your game fit the theme?
The player can infect the enemy minions. When these minions die, they rise again at your side of the board.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
100% made from scratch with Vanilla Javascript for the code and paint for the assets. There are only graphic assets.

Surprisingly enjoyable little game loop! I liked the idea of skipping a turn to gain money - gave the game a bit more strategy. Graphics could have used a consistent color palette to be more enticing. Great work!
Thanks for playing the game ! Thanks for leaving a comment ! Thanks for the color palette advice ! I'll sure take that into account for my next game.
Have a great day
At first I thought that it was an error, but it was a message about my victory, lol. Nice one.
Yeah, I have to work on this end-screen !
Thanks for playing the game !
Took some time to understand the game, but a good one.
Oh, thanks a lot ! That means something to me ☺️
Took a moment to figure out how to play, but I'm honestly surprised! All of this in vanilla JavaScript is insane, seriously hats off to you!
Thank you!
As you have guessed, a proper ending screen was on my to-do list, haha ! I didn't fully finish the game but I'm really happy you took some time to play it.
I'm happy also that you found a way to win the game!
Nice game! Obviously audio would be nice but I'm sure you know that. Other than that, I think the game is almost a bit too easy. Also, a button for skipping your turn would be cool, since it got boring for me having to do that over and over again.
The turn skip button is a great idea !
Thank you for playing the game and, yes, I didn't balance the game very well. I was still adding enemy types when I had to stop the development and submit the game. Thanks for playing !
Nice simple one-click gameplay, which I assume could work for touch controls too. I like the fact that you can click on a square and then select a character, this same screen space compared to other games of this type. It would be good to include some in-game instructions and/or text when you hover over a square. Obviously with a bit more time, you could add animated sprites, sound and music.
Thank you for your comment ! I had planned to finish the game in the given time but a real life emergency stole me two days.
I'm glad you played it !
Nice and simple game. Like the idea of enemy become your side as well.
Thank you ! There are many mecanics and unit types to add. Transforming the enemies into allies is only one idea !
This is so impressive that you did it from scratch! I loved having the zombies turn the enemies, it felt very satisfying turning their troops against themselves to crush their final survivors. Nicely done.
I'm really glad you liked the game ! What you describe there is exactly the feeling I wanted to create for the players. The game is not polished but that's for another day. Thanks again !
sort of turn based plants vs zombies
cool idea
Thank you for the comment ! I'm glad you played my game. :-D
Interesting game but hits the theme some sound and audio would have been nice but nonetheless cool concept and well done on the submission
Thank you ! I wanted to polish the game but I was requested elsewhere and had to submit more than two days earlier than expected.
I'm very happy that you tried it out and left a comment, thank you !
