Super clever submission. And look at the graphics!
I played your game in this video:
And it was unfair to take away this one Audio-Star, because the sound effects are very solid! So I just corrected that one ;)
Definitely a solid entry. The art is great and the pace is pretty frenetic. The locusts feel like a legit plague/threat and I definitely had a tough time, but it felt pretty fair. One thing I wish I could have done was click a tile again to un-queue it, but in general I really liked the queuing mechanism and it felt pretty natural. Excellent entry!
Yes, we also wanted to do an un-queue mechanism, however it is difficult because it conflicts with being able to queue multiple actions on the same tile. Since we wanted a one button system, we left it like this, as it adds something for the player to think about (queue too many and you lose reactivity). However the kill locust action clears the queue to allow you more reactivity. It is not a perfect system, and I'm sure we can improve it, but it was good enough at the time :)
Thank you for playing, glad you liked it!
Original idea, simple but addictive. Like others said, it felt really polished 👍👍. In other to improve the game, I would add some other mechanic that could break the monotony of clicking around on the field.
With a bit more work, maybe leaderboards or achievements it could certainly be on the playstore! 🤖
Nicely done. Looks and feels very polished. With just few added playmodes or Levels and a hiscore list it could be on the playstore i think.
