Very interesting game here, there's clearly been a lot of thought behind how the game plays. I think the rules would have been better explained in a more concise way, as having all your rules hidden behind lots of text in the "Hints" box I found a bit misleading. I also didn't know what the overall objective was other than "use villagers to collect shields to then place shields which is immune to fire", and I kept losing villagers to fire by holding down one button for 0.2 seconds too long.
Quite a unique idea here though, I had some fun playing it and can imagine it making a really great game if you continue to work on it. With games like these, it's better to assume everyone is idiots and doesn't want to read a lot of text haha. Good work!
A great original strategy game! Was quite confusing to begin with, but it was fun once I got the hang of it! Would love to see a tutorial if you were to take it further!

Cats in SpaceCamera Movements:
- Middle mouse button + dragging = moving around;
- Left mouse button = select village areas;
- Right mouse button = reset the camera position where the selected area is.
Play and win:
Move your villagers (using WASD or arrow keys) and collect shields scraps (those white shields). When you have enough shields scraps you can place real shields on the map by entering the Shield Placement Mode, pressing F. These shields are a safe place for your villagers: there, the fire won't come. To save permanently the village (and win the game) you have to collect 3 special runes. Runes appear when you place a specific number of shields (indicated in the bottom right part of the screen).
Hope this helps!
It looks really nice and the concept is there, unfortunately I probably suffer from the Stupid, but I couldn't figure out how to do anything other than highlight stuff with my mouse :( A tutorial would go a long way, especially for a strategy game. But good stuff nonetheless :D
