A very unique idea and very satisfying to play! The art is stunningly gorgeous and well-made. I also love the little bits of extra polish, like being to drag around menus, throw around the coins and the animations on so many UI elements. An excellent entry!

Lil PiggiesThe art is absolutely stunning, and the music fits perfectly. So much style!
The inclusion of those small features, like speeding up the game, being able to see the enemies view range, and having the ability to cancel shots, adds a lot to the overall experience.
To be honest, there isn't much to critique. Solid game!

AUTOAIMThe artstyle for this game was superb! I also love that we're just napoleon launching nukes at everyone xD
While the gameplay was also great (the last level was just the right amount of challenging) the highlight for me was being able to bounce the coins around : P

Results PleaseThis is a great idea based on the theme. A twist on an existing game but very much still a complete and new game on it's own. The art and music were great! And the various types of missiles really made for some fun strategy. Overall this is awesome and I love it. Great game, great job!

STICK-ETQuite fun, and challenging in the further level. I enjoyed it, great work

Baddest of them allI thought it was a pretty cool game but I got stuck on what I assume is the last level.

ribbit townI'm jealous that you had time to make the francs and paper have physics :p
Great game! In the beginning levels I felt like I could make some strategic decisions. By the last two though, the best strategy seemed to be to spam the 3-for-1 nukes with as much precision as possible and hope for the best. Maybe I was missing something?
Regardless of the spamming, I enjoyed it a lot! Congrats

Bag GrabSpamming the uranium grapeshot works for bronze and maybe silver. Grapeshot is used in the strategy for the gold rank but it's not the only thing (carronades are fast enough to distract both carabineers and barbettes in one go, and the slow nature of roundshot makes it work as a decoy and lets you time distractions).
Should've mentioned it in game, but rank is determined by your extra francs at the end of the level, so it can be better to use roundshot as a distraction instead of carronades or grapeshot in some cases.
Amazing. Damn.... your game is just dripping with polish! 👁️👁️
Nuking people with French music in the back is chef's kiss xDDDDDD. I really had a great time! The game also have quality of life features like speeding up time which is good when you've already fired all your missiles.
Greatest game I've played this far.
BRAVO! 👏

Jasnah's BoppersGreat job! The art style is good and I love how I can toss the paper and the coins around the screen.
There is just one thing that I think could be better and that is readability. The papers are way too similarly colored to the background which makes them harder to see, an outline would be great. And if you made the checkmarks differently colored (like a red cross and a green tick) that would be awesome. But overall this is a solid entry and I really enjoyed playing it!

Burn it downThat's very true, I noticed it was an issue during testing but left it last minute, and ended up just not being able to fix it in time. If I ever decide to do more with it I'll be sure to improve on that front (maybe make it so dragging doesn't count as enabling or disabling a missile type as well).
Thanks for playing!
