good game but could use how to play menu please come check out my game to
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!
❤️❤️❤️
fun game, even though it's not my style I liked it
Thank you so much for playing ❤️!
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!
Thanks for playing! ❤
Camera Movements:
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
Yeah, you're right, a tutorial could really help! Anyways, you can try to understand the logic of the game by reading the description or the in-game hints. Hope this helps, thank you very much for the feedback!
Okay, I was totally lost in controls and achievements. I would really appreciate a slightly larger description of how to play. Anyhow, good job finishing a game!
Thank you for the feedback! If don't know how to play you can check the game description or the hints :-)
