A great game, it got crazy at the end before the crash . Good job guys ! =)
(Also as a Crashlands fan I can see the walking animation feels pretty similar)

I am not remotely surprised that a game by you guys is this good but WOW this is damn good. Absolutely incredible.

A friend sent me this game and I would ABSOLUTELY pay money for this as is. I also wanted to send a small crash report in case its useful (I think I won) 10/10 will continue to play.

looking at the screenshots and trailer it looks so fun, too bad I can't play it as I am not on windows :(

I love the animations and overall aesthetic of the game. However, the loop theme feels a bit loosely implemented. When you die, it just seems like a regular restart—there’s no clear reward or progression tied to dying, at least not that I noticed (though I might have missed it). Still, great work overall :)

this is such a fun concept, the animation and art are top!

Love it. Rad game, i could see myself play hours if there was better ways to prevent myself from being "trapped" into game states where i lsot too many dudes (maybe code something that takes into account your power rating or something and not just simply raises the stakes)

Thanks for playing! And agreed on your notes -- right now you just eventually hit too hard of challenges and run out of dudes, and there's a missing meta-level loop to make it worth it to do another run to go farther.

Tom SasinSubmitted261 days ago

Tho I don't really see the loop, the game is incredibly fun and addicting. I would even buy the full version if there ever will be one!

Love the game! But not really loopy lol. I would pay for this and play for hours if it was a released game

Submitted

NebsterSubmitted261 days ago

Love the idea based on a trend! Surprised how many different options there were to buy, enjoyed the growing variety and scaling of fights while the art and sound really worked well for the game. Great entry but not fully convinced by the theme

SuweekaSubmitted261 days ago

Certainly answers a few hypothetical questions out there... Also the only place I think it's legal(?!) to say I enjoyed punching that toddler!

Amazing game nonetheless. I saw this in another stream and the charming and wacky aesthetic made me want to play it myself. I'm glad it was well worth it!

Really fun auto-battler roguelike! It was really satisfying seeing all my dudes beat up everything on their way.

HappyArtClubSubmitted261 days ago

I thought the 100 guys vs one gorilla would stay a hypothetical but I'm very happy it didn't. Amazing game. My save game is broken and I cant progress after round 56.

ERROR in action number 1 of Create Event for object o_ranch: I32 argument is undefined - gml_Script_upgrade_get_max_level (line 178) - gml_Script_upgrades_frame (line 81) - gml_Script_ranch_ui_spawn (line 12) - gml_Object_o_ranch_Create_0 (line 1)

F.O.G. Forgetting Our God

Butterscotch ShenanigansDeveloper261 days ago

Yaaaah we found that bug a bit too late to upload a fix. We'll fix it up after the Jam though!

HappyArtClubSubmitted261 days ago

Amazing game regardless!

theothertallguySubmitted261 days ago

What a wild game! truly one of the most hilarious experiences of my life. You guys got me cheering on the destruction of toddlers XD (they had it coming)

Submitted

Tom SasinSubmitted261 days ago

Corben GilbertSubmitted261 days ago

Awesome game! Had a ton of fun, and a hilarious premise for a game! I do like auto battlers so this one was special for me. Nice work!
