Hey cool take on a reverse-survival type game! It was fun sending swarms of enemies against the hero. One time I only upgraded and used the little guys and had so many I had super lag!! The game is pretty hard though. I finally won the third time by only using the ranged guys and an occasionally little guy to distract the hero.
Overall really cool! Good job with this!!
Looks very nice. Plays well and is quite understandable. The Leveling Up menu can be sometimes not noticed cause it's in the same spot as the spawn menu so it is prone to missclicks. The screenspace is a bit small and because the units spawn off-screen I wasn't sure it worked sometimes. I won twice, it was rather easy but felt nice. With some iteration this could be really fun. Well done for 48 h!
The art on display is brilliant, great presentation. I just spam spawned/upgraded the big guy and won pretty comfroatbly. But for a jam game this is a cool idea, great work!
I really liked this game all around! The visuals were extremely well made great job on that, and the gameplay worked well. We seem to have made basically opposite games which is kind of funny haha. Loved the game overall, and I would love it if you checked my game out :)
Wow, what a great entry! You should work on this more and release it! Well done!
Check our game out, its billiards, with a very cool parry mechanic!

At first it seemed a bit too simple, but as I progressed, it became more and more satisfying to unleash hordes of aliens against that poor robot. However, it does have some serious performance issues when there are a lot of characters on the screen.
I did quite like it and played it a few times. However, eventually I realized that the player's leveling happens once a minute, whereas the hero's leveling requires killing the player's monsters. Thus, there is a dominant strategy of just waiting until you leveled a few times, and then spam with your notably over-leveled team.
If the player only leveled based on doing damage to the hero, that would definitely address this dominant strategy
I like the artstyle but unfortunately it's pretty mindless to win :( I didn't give much thought to it, although just spamming first unit doesn't work (good) and cause my bruhwser to lag (lol). I eventually won almost without using 3rd unit (spawned a couple in the end just to see them).
Good music also.
Pretty neat lil game! Gets a little laggy if you summon too many entities, and sometimes got a bit confused if I had summoned them or not due to the delay between clicking the button and them appearing. But overall pretty well put-together! :)
Very cool graphics! But it starts to lag when there are too many critters :P
Neat. Good art and presentation. The big tank unit seems underpowered. Sometimes I pick the wrong upgrade since Im spamming to spawn a unit and then the upgrade screen appears and I pick that unit. Wish the hero got more unique upgrades like weapons that could make you change up your decision making. Good job!
The idea is solid, I like idea of being the swarm that attacks the player and slowly building up the swarm over time. I would have loved to see some variation in attacks that could have influenced the strategy, but still a very solid game!
Pretty neat. Visuals are great, the artist did a very good job. Very nice that you can use keyboard numbers to summon enemies. Wished if you could also upgrade with the keyboard numbers as well so you don't have to touch the mouse very often. The game is quite good and enjoyable nontheless.
Fun game. Cool concept. Good Work!
Great art style, and good concept. Funny enough very close in story to ours. Great minds
