Those are some awesome expansion ideas - we thought about the NPC going from a farmer/villager or to a town guard or mayor once you hit a certain gold threshold if we had the time, though upgrading the home sounds great too actually!
Absolutely loved everything about this game! Controlling the horde fighting the hero is a really fun concept. Throwing in some classes for good measure is a wonderful way of spicing it up - I found myself trying to work out which class worked better (I really clicked with ranger, but then the winning run was playing Warrior at the start and letting the other ranged let rip!). Jumping is definitely your friend!! Sound and VA was super! :D
Managed to clip through the floor once while transitioning from one Kobold to another somehow (what game doesn't do that somewhere?), other than that it felt pretty polished and had a menu to restart the game so never felt stuck. :)
This was executed very well! I love that the speed slows a little when placing an obstacle but doesn't stop altogether so you have to think quickly!! Has a nice polish to it too, fantastic project!
I love how you've taken your concept and made a well presented game out of it! The star scoring system and level select is very reminiscent of Angry Birds. :D Very cool!
Oh this is a neat concept. I like your take on the theme!
What blew me away in particular was your scrolling starry background and the music was great too! Fantastic job getting this looking so polished in the limited time!! :D
This was very well done. Love the random spells and having to be careful not to accidentally heal enemies! Looked forward to seeing the visuals/effects of each new spell! <3
Very interesting mechanics! Haven't seen anything else quite like it. :) Lots of great potential here, plus the presentation and menu system were well thought through. Very nice! :D
Hello there! :D Firstly, thank you for your very thorough review/feedback! That's too kind. :)
Absolutely agree with the scoring idea! I didn't have enough time to pop that in the end, but was thinking something to the effect of "time x people saved" would be a good scoring system! Perhaps bonus points from loot chests in the area (some found through one of multiple doors like you mentioned?).
I love the idea of saving trapped characters and extending the line! :D That and being able to release some small bursts of water (with limited amounts?) would be a really interesting dynamic. These are some really great ideas, very much appreciated! :D
