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!

At first I thought that it was an error, but it was a message about my victory, lol. Nice one.

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 !

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 !
