Very nice art, SFX, and music really gave it a nice feel. Gameplay was fun to start but felt a old after a while, maybe waves or time limit would have helped seemed to just go on and on.
But overall nice submission.

Interesting strategy there behind trapping the humans in that specific way, nice job on the game!

World HunterPlayed your game on stream. If you wanted to watch me go through it ive got the vod below timestamped to your game. The mechanics and graphics of the game were nice. I found the most fun part of the gameplay was the initial spawn in and trying to build up a defence to defend the one golden spot. Once the map started changing on it own in jumps (some from humans I couldnt see currently due to the many spawn positions) and more golden spots and various other things started spawning things devolved into chaos a bit and it felt more like something I would just leave on its own since it was difficult to try to move things around quick enough due to the combination of the perspective making it hard to see and all the objects on the map blocking anything you try to do quickly (making humans go around much faster than you can build a defense). Lore though was great and music worked nice

The Legend of AkioI adore the drawings. For me it felt awkward to move. I agree with the other comments. Very unique, good job!

The Hero of the MossfolkCool game. At first it was a bit tricky to understand, I was trying to use space, but it didn't worked for me, but X key works, so no problem. Aside from that the game has an original concept and gameplay, I like that humans remember the traps placings.

La castanyera: ara és personalInteresting concept, it feels very good when an enemy fall on the trap you just placed or when you block the orbs with trees although they break them later which is pretty neat, I guess maybe a way to show how much progress you need could be good like: I got 36 humans and 28 stolen essence but idk how much is left (in case its not endless). The art is very unique and stands out, good sound design aswell !

Candy TrailsGreat game idea, I liked the art and audio implementations.
I found it a little non-intuitive to walk around the scene isometrically using AWSD. Maybe I'm not very familiar with this type of movement.
I would also love to have the ability to cross obstacles while transporting an object (tree or trap), but I understand that this is part of the game's difficulty.
Congratulations on the submission and the very original idea!

Abyssal TrenchI love the lore on this, and the clever use of the "control multiple characters" wildcard! The art while minimalistic, was charming. The setting, art style, and gameplay fit very well with the enigmatic and haunting music. I enjoyed trapping humans! A more pronounced UI might deviate from the minimalistic style, but I have to confess I didnt notice how many essence was stolen, nor humans trapped until quite far into the game. Not sure if there was a win con, but I stopped before reaching it.
All in all, solid entry!

Folkémon SnapI like the graphics, the isometric view makes control a bit complicated, but once you get used to it, it's fine. I don't know if it's a bug, but sometimes when I press the key to move it doesn't work the first time and I have to press it again to move. I've also had several occasions where I've prepared a trapped passage and the trees disappear without warning. I think this is normal, but I think it lacks an indicator to warn you in advance. Otherwise, the game is pretty fun, even if it quickly becomes repetitive. I really enjoyed playing it.

Baldr's JourneyThe artwork and the music were great, and I thought it was a really good use of the 'Folklore' theme. It did take me a little time to get used to the ASDW mapped to isometric movement, maybe try a click to move to grid square type system? Also It might be nice to have some breathing room between waves of humans maybe, like with tower defence, you get x seconds to prepare. Otherwise I think it has great potential, I look forward to seeing what it becomes. Good work.

English Proverbs: TyperIt took me some time to get an understanding of what I was meant to do. It was helpful that the controls were listed in the description below, and I didn't realize for a long time that I could move the trees. Occasionally the pathways would be spontaneously cleared out and all my traps and trees would disappear without warning. I think I'd like to at least have a clue that was about to happen.
Overall, the art is nice and the concept is quite original. The game feels hectic and it feels like you can't really stop the humans, only delay them.

The Rite to Bear FarmsI loved the thumbnail/cover art already and was excited to play but the game didn't load properly after the start screen... Is it just me since other people seem to be able to play? I'd like to give it a try it's anyhow available for me :)

Artist & Mountain LordI’m sorry to hear that. I have to admit that I’ve been working with Godot 3.5 for a while and this is my second foray into 4.x. I think there are still some compatibility issues with the web exports and they only work properly on Chrome. I’ll try to make OSX and Linux builds available but didn’t have time before the game jam deadline.
