Fun game. I didn't like the warriors running into battle by themselves. Maybe restricted them to a specific distance. Otherwise really fun! Go ahead and check out my game submission for the Jam. It's minigolf on planets, let me know what you think!

Thank you for your feedback! You mean that the warrior should be static? (I mean, dont running into fight, just waiting the enemy to get close and attack).

Great job, solo dev! Love the gameplay mechanics and music, though sfx could be better utilized given some time here. Thanks for submitting, I enjoyed my experience.

I had so much fun, this is a really great demo! Made it to day 5, but I also had a bug that forced me to skip two of my planning phases. I recorded my game play and thoughts here:

Thank you so much for your comment and your video review! I had a lot of fun watching you play the game. I also saw the bug you encountered—it's an issue that happens sometimes, and I need to figure out why. I think it might be related to the game not detecting the last goblin to kill, which causes it to skip the phase and jump to the next one, but I still need to investigate further.
Again, thank you so much for your comment, video, and feedback! I'm really glad to hear you had fun.

This was fun! A simple to understand and interesting to play defense game idea. It took me a couple of tries to get over the difficult first couple of rounds! Looks and feels very polished, great choice with the art assets especially!

Cool game. The concept is fun, but the difficulty curve of the enemies is a bit too punishing. Overall good game.

best one i have played so far! get the campaign up for this ASAP, with some more content you can easily get this up on steam! my only recommendation is  making the enemies as tad bit faster so its not as long of a wait for them to get there!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’ll also keep in mind what you said about the enemies—it's true that it feels a bit slow.

The map was zoomed in so I wondered why it took so much time for the enemies to arrive. Then they attacked my gatherers and the knights just stood there. I was broke for the next wave. It was just wave 1 and I was catjamming in front of my screen. There are maybe a couple of things to adjust in term of progression on the first level but it's a good one !
