I accidentally let a big rock dude in and The Rock was still fine with it. still a cool idea though and the artstyle is nice

Amazing game idea. Most people already said but adding some lines to clearly define what is the death area of the laser would be nice. Also got to give it to you, loved the sound effects.

PS: One thing you add just to add a bit more fun and complexity would be that the monsters would be death on the laser path, meaning the death body sprite would be left behind. So you would have to send someone to clean the bodies, but be careful you do not want to kill the janitor who is cleaning the bodies from the gates way :)

Narrator implementing is cool! Nice music theme. Add more visuals (I really missed some particles on unit death), point system, loop process with growing speed and game ready to Mobile stores!)

Creative! Feedback that I didn't see already on the page: it would be nice if it was more clear when something would hit the laser (perspective made it hard to estimate precisely).

Gameplay is nice, it fits the theme nicely. I loved the artstyle. I wasnt able to close the gate for the first resident and had them die. Is that a bug or was i the problem? The concept is fun but with single mechanic it got a bit boring fast. Overall a anice entry, very unique!

Nice entry, but just a couple bits of criticism:

1) The gameplay got old fast. I wish there were a couple more mechanics involved, like what if instead of just one input there were some monsters that flew above the fence and you had to shoot them with a bow and arrow, and every day you got paid and (sort of like Papers Please) had to manage your money. Stuff like that would've gone a long way here.

2) There were a couple times when killing a civilian or letting a monster through was unavoidable. To fix this, maybe you could have a check when you spawn monsters that checks if they will arrive at the fence at the same time as a civilian, and then spawn them with a delay instead.

Other than that, great entry! I liked the look of the game, I thought the buff elf and the voice acting were pretty funny, and the game felt pretty polished. And, while the gameplay was a little basic, I still found myself enjoying what it did have to offer. Overall it was a fun experience.

I appreciate the tutorial in the beginning of the game and simple controls of the game that match up to the theme of the jam. Also the honesty about where you were able to leave the game is understandable as things come up. Artwork looks unique and fits the theme of the game.
