Interesting concept around killing the right enemies at the right time. Creative take on the theme. Loving the art style, would be good if you added some sound effects and music to make this game a little more immersive. Sometimes the attacks aren't working on the enemies (might be a small glitch there). Would be a good idea if the character had health and would be hurt by the enemies. It'd be cool to see a scoreboard or high score implemented in future for tracking.

Great work on your submission.

Interesting concept with potential for a really fun full game! I'd love it if the enemies fought back though. Solid game! :)

The core idea is clever and has a lot of potential. I'd love to see deeper mechanics or enemy interactions in future versions!

Yess, I plan to add new meganicas soon, thank you very much

Amazing art, unfortunatly my attacks on the goblins wouldn't register for some reason?

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I'm already trying to fix the enemies' hitbox

Great art and sound with good concept of balancing two races by culling their numbers.

I felt bad that the goblins didn't get to defend themselves! Lol.

Also it'll be nice to show the race count along with the percentage so that I know what goblins to slay.

The UI was slightly camouflaged with the graphics hence a bit difficult to see while playing.

Love from Canada!

In the next updates I intend to add attack for enemies, thanks for the feedback

Cool art and sounds! It would be great to set it to fullscreen. The idea is interesting, but the gameplay is probably a bit too simple? Maybe adding more attack types or letting the goblin hurt you would improve the experience. Btw good job finishing it for the jam!

I want to add attack for enemies, but I didn't have time for the jam, thanks for the comment

The idea is cool, could use some more finetuning. Id like to see more enemies or arenas. The hitboxes seem a little bit wonky.

Great idea, thanks

love the artwork alot , very retro rpg style art , the only issue i had with the game is the collision on the goblins seemed pretty big , a health or life system instead of instant death would make the game alot better , great music , fun visuals :) would love if you could go check out my game, Load it up!

Developer
I will think about this idea, thank you very much for the feedback

It seemed like there was an issue with attacking some goblins. Like they didn't detect being hit? Congratulations on submitting your game!

Developer
yes, I'm trying to fix this, thanks for playing!
