This is very solid! I like how you incorporated the theme in it! Strategy games are always fun to learn how the system works! Has a lot of potential for a full release! 😊

Submitted

Really cool game! I like how chaotic it is. The building models are well made and all fit well together. I also like how when a lumber mill is destroyed, the trees do not respawn. It adds a nice level of difficulty and requires you to plan out where the next ones will go. 

Submitted

Really ambitious for a game jam, but great job delivering! Please remove the repeating farm sound lol.

Submitted

Woooow Dominiaukad, this gaame remains me the Age of empires mechanics, I loved it, great job.

Submitted

This feels like trying to build a town in "Attack on titan".

Cool mechanics but quite challenging.

Submitted

Great work!

The farm sound effect is a bit annoying, and the enemy spawns are unpredictable. It's also a bit hard to position the attacking tower correctly — sometimes it just ends up watching the giant without attacking because it's out of range.

Solid game with rich gameplay! 

Would love some indication of building / resource generation progress. The giants' attack target seemed quite random. I feel like the houses should also generate population over time instead of just once, as in the late game I needed to intentionally let the giants destroy my houses so I can build new ones.

However this game is otherwise super well made, I'm amazed by the procedurally generated map and many different types of buildings. Great one!

The game has a lot of potential, but unfortunately it forces a specific development path — there’s not much freedom at the beginning, as placing buildings poorly can lead to a dead end.

A progress bar during construction would be helpful. During my playthrough, I encountered a situation where a tower stopped shooting at an enemy that was clearly within range. The overall difficulty level is also quite high.

The game definitely has potential but lacks final polish. Despite the issues, I still enjoyed it. Congratulations!

PS. My cat really liked the sound of the chickens on the farm ;)

I loved the building, but once the giants took out a few towers they quickly started to overwhelm my little town.

Huge fan of the city builder defender games, enjoyed it a lot!

It took me a few tries to get the hang of things and have the economy off and running in time to defend against attacks. I like the systems in place and it must have been tough to get everything working in such a short period of time! Things feel fairly balanced, I was never able to create an impenetrable defense or generate more resources than I needed. And, if I were more strategically minded, I think I could have held out much longer.

Oh, just one other thing. The chicken sound effect was playing nonstop once I built my first farm. It was a bit of a relief when the Gullivers smashed it.

I love a good tower defense game. I like how the board looked like a catan board. great job

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Submitted

Nice city building + defense game! Good job on completing a lot of quite difficult things in such a short time! Only issue I had was with the difficulty of the game. .would have made it more fun if the initial few attacks were a bit later and there was more time initially to setup the defenses.But other than that really well done!

Developer

Yes totally agree, I think the problem was with all the play testing during development I got used to shooting through build orders and didn't leave enough build up time especially on the first few levels

Submitted

Very interesting take on the theme, those giants running towards my lil town had me on my nerves, I was trying to build so fast to ward them off  haha

Only thing that I could comment on is that I wasn't sure if my buildings where producing resources at first, so my first run was a little bit confusing, but overall great game!

Developer(+1)

Yes good point, I have a time indicator for each building but it's not obvious at all and still hard to tell when resources will be added. Something for me to think about! Thanks for playing the game.

Submitted

Great literary reference! I knew exactly what to expect based on it and how it fit the theme. Also the twist of it being a little bit like Attack on Titan made it cool. 

Developer

Thanks, those Gulliver cloning experiments did get out of hand later in the game :-)

Submitted

Crap, that was so addicting and scary. The first time I saw giant man ruining my buildings I was shocked. And that ring bell made me nervous haha. Great experience! Nice job on tower defense in a style of Attack of The Titans, it was really funny to survive :)

Developer

Thanks very much for your comments.

Submitted

Cool game, and really interesting reference and spin with those Gullivers - now I want some chicken nuggets, though ;)

Developer

Best things that could happen to those chickens...at least it would stop the squawking !

Submitted

Really a very cool game that fits the theme well!

Developer

Thanks:-)

Submitted

A game totally on point with the theme, but I think some indicators of resources being produced would help us manage and build more efficiently. It  was hard to know if I had enough resources and how fast I was accumulating them. Good job !

Developer

Totally agree, thanks for playing the game.

Submitted

Nice game, a little bit more polish would be great. I do see me playing this game more in the future. Try to add some background music, some vfx when a resource is generated ect. 

Developer

Much appreciated, you are right it does need those to make it a better playing experience.
