The presentation on this game is excellent. The visuals were great and the music was also pretty nice.

Balance-wise, it felt really easy. It could've used some more mechanics that applied pressure or needed me to think more. It also felt like there wasn't much reason to make units, as the archer towers seemed to be good at pretty much everything on their own, and were pretty cheap. It would've been nice if we could see what each portal was currently making, and how long that'd take, because they felt really slow, and having that information available might've helped.

Very nice! I'm normally not very good at these types of games, but this was just complex enough for me, and very satisfying. Also really dig the graphics!

Enjoyed this a lot. Art looks very nice and polished, gameplay feels good. Wish there was a way to control your little army because they all just kind of stayed in one place. Overall I was very impressed by this, great job!

Yeah, the rally has some limitations. Glad you enjoyed the game!

It's not the most original take by playing as the villain, think of Dungeon Keeper for example; but I really love the pixelated art style, and how the game plays out, it needs some balancing maybe, but it's an impressive scope for a 48H jam. It was very enjoyable, pretty nice game!

Great game! Really love the art style you chose for this theme. Playing as the Blighted is a good spin on the fairytale game norm. Making it procedural definitely adds to the replayability. Only issue was its sometimes difficult to distinguish the enemies and how to use multiple portals wasn't clear. Otherwise, very much enjoyed!

Solid game, nice art style! I had fun playing through it but it was way too easy tbh. The humans weren't really putting up a fight, it would be cool if the enemy towers would attack the player's structures.

Nice, this seems very polished. I like the art style and lighting. It feels a little like if you could play the cellular automata in creeper world 3.

Thanks, glad you liked it!
