Very ambitious type of game for a Jam.
What I Loved:
Like the mechanic of adding cats to upgrade the speed of the buldings
Like the music was very chill
Love the little cat sprites and their animations
What needs Improvement:
Not knowing that stone is in the top left and ore is in the bottom left put me in a bad spot at on my first play through and I had to restart as I was soft locked.
Needed a bit more guidance on how to play as I got defeat the first time even though I felt like I did everything right and had a army strength of 8 vs the enemies 4After my fourth defeat is where I started to understand the game well enough to play
I notice the every time I place the training ground no matter what it would say I have unassigned villagers so I couldn't build up any soldiers at all... I restarted the game multiple times to try to fix this issue. Always am getting a game over in the first fight.
I found some pretty big fundamental issues:
On my fifth run I was somehow able to get one solider and win the fight 1 (the training grounds still kept on saying no unassigned villagers even though I have 14 unassigned) after the victory I lost the soldier and had to hope to get another one for fight 2
Continuing the fifth run the war time was nearing and I was desperate to get even 1 solider assigned so I starting placing multiple training ground in hopes one of them would glitch me one to win fight 2.
I tried to place training grounds all over the map thinking it was a placement glitch but even at 151 active workers and 229 total villagers (78 unassigned villagers) and 8 Training grounds I was unable to glitch one into my army and lost.
Needs Work but I see what you were going for.
