Really fun and intuitive, allies colliding with the environment was a nice touch making for some fun panicky moments as I realised I'd left my archer running into a tree and had to sprint back to them :)

Really fun concept, I really liked the interpretation of the theme!

Fun little survivors-like !

Really fun gameplay! Love the pixel art and theme of the game!

Putting all the characters together by pushing against a tree or rock or something turns you into a massively ever-expanding killing machine. Rly liked it, nice game!

Like others have said, this is a really cool game. Feels super easy to pickup and simple but addictive. The base mechanics are great and if you added more variation I could play this for hours!! (also saw your discord post. please feel free to try out and rate my game)

Thank you so much! If I had the time i would loved to add a few more enemies and hero's! Checking your game out now :)

A variation on vampire survivors where instead of upgrades you get more troops, the concept is nice, but the gameplay becomes very repetitive after you see all the classes. Melee classes are also kind of obsolete compared to archers, which can kill everything far faster while keeping the king safe, being relegated to meat shields. Would give it a bit lower score, but it was made in two days, so 3/5. Nice job

fun little idea, decent jam game!

Awesome Idea, Really Decent Implementation. I would say an indication for when you can rally more troops and when the wave ends and starts would be much appreciated. Also the art style is cool but making it more visible might be better

COOL IDEA

First try: 957 points, my king was shot in the back by an arrow. I really like this game, it's well made and fun!

Developer

Great Score! Thank you, glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Honestly, I really enjoyed this one; it stood out from some of the others I've played so far. It's not particularly flashy or trying to prove itself as being especially unique, it's just a really solid concept executed well, and I think that's why it stood out to me. Good stuff, especially for 48 hours!

Very fun game and love how you applied the concept to an army. Sometimes the units would spawn too far away and I had to reposition them with the environment but, everything worked really well and didn't come across any bugs. Nice!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Thrilled you found it fun!

I liked the art and the army building stuff, but all the melee units felt kind of pointless.

Developer

Thank you! Once i added the ranged elf, the melee units were a bit less usefull. Wish i could have added a few more ranged hero's :)

Developer

Very nice style, loved the arcade feel of the entire game! Some of the text was a bit difficult to read, but loved how everything felt fantasy inspired!

Developer

Thank you! Yes i should improve the visibility of the Text :)

Developer
