I like how you scaled down an existing and well known game and made it fit to the theme :)

Well done on a first submission! The art is beautiful.
My colour-blind eyes really struggled with the health bars, and highlighting of squares. Maybe something to look out for in the future. :)

Mummy See, Mummy DoI really like the cave painting style art work and simple interactions. That you paint on your initial selections was a nice touch. And, you made a multiplayer game! That's a great achievement.
I would have loved an in-game tutorial, something that would guide you through the basic interactions and how each piece worked. Nevertheless, I found the mechanics simple enough to pick up after a few runs and could see the depth in the gameplay and strategy they afforded. Really nice!

Grand Theft ChariotGreat first submission! I had quite a bit of fun playing this (Though I have a tendency to hop into a game without reading outside instructions, so I was at a bit of a disadvantage when I played the 2-player game, but that's my own fault.
I also enjoyed the music, it was quite soothing!

Mission H.E.L.PCute little tactics game! I really liked the cave painting aesthetic.
Nice work getting a AI opponent set up too!

Mission H.E.L.PI played it twice because I really liked that game and I read the instructions only after I won the first round :D Would play it again and again!
The only thing I didn't like it that if you click on a figure, you are not able to choose another figure anymore but have to use that one.

Chinese WallNice concept. I would like to see more in-game tooltips what each unit can do and where it can move. Also some simple indicator of remaining actions in turn would be nice.

Speeramyd PlunderVery original! I love the simple rules and the HP bars for units. Good job!
Submitted
Tomb BlasterI enjoyed this - very original. Loved the cave painting aesthetic too. Well done!

The Feathered SerpentReally creative idea! Love the cave artwork, did you do all the artwork yourself? I found a bug where I couldn't move a warrior on the first move.
Submitted
Domino DepthsNice way of showing a tactics game. I would like to click directly on the square for movement..
Submitted
Viking ThiefI like it! Took me a moment to realised it was left-to-right instead of top-to-bottom gameplay,
I love the cave-painting premise and that the hand gets paint(for lack of a better work) on it when placing your pieces etc.
Submitted
ESCAPE: Ancient GreeceWhat a great first submission to play!
I really enjoy the little details like paint on the fingers. I can definitely see the strategy element of this game going deep. I would love to play it with someone else to see how competitive it could get!
Great work.
