Well what would have worked for me is if you could hold down the throw button without having it throw when the throw-power is maxed out. This way I have a moment to aim before it goes off. (Like most grenades in first person shooters.)
Oh and don't be afraid to make your game jam game to easy. (because If other people play it it will often turn out to be too hard for them.)

A late reaction. But I think this is a very promising game. It has a very good game feel. the colors and everything feel really good and makes it a joy to play. I hope you will make sequel. But I would understand if you didn't.
I do have one suggestion You could look at adding a score for picking up the dots. This won't change the game that much because the time you life is directly related to the amount of dots you picked up. But I would create a little dopamine boost by the player. so it might be worth a try.
I really like you youtube channel. You have a very nice voice to listen too. I' m kind of surprised aren't more popular but well those things take time.
Good luck and I hope i see more of you.

Thank you for you feedback.
I'm sad you feel that way about the polishing. I tried to make it as polished as possible in the time I had. What kind of polish did you miss?
I will add little bit more direction after the starting area when the jam is over.
Some of the problems you name are part of the game design. I wanted to give the player the feeling that where were many ways to play the game and that your way wasn't necessary the best or the worse way but was the way that you found. I hope that gives a little bit of more perspective.This is a very cute little game. I love how you made the dog, with his moving tail and little heath.
The opening of the game is really really beautiful. the combination of the music and the rain effects. very nice.
(I was wondering how you made the waving line at the beginning of the game? is the an construct 3 specific thing? or some smart piece of math?)
O yes no problem. (although I will probably will look very stupid.)
The states that are shown in the top make your units in the field stronger.
(But I didn't know that. I wasn't sure if it was a resource I needed to build an army or something?)
I didn't know what upgrading my town-hall did. Or that I could get extra units.
And I didn't know that you could change class.
I didn't get very far. I think this game need a little bit of play testing. because it had a very steep learning curve. If you have a friend or something that can play it for you while you watch will show you things like how that little bush can be.
It's a shame because the music is nice the artwork on this page is very beautiful.
It looks like a very cute game.
