Fun! I really liked it! Kinda remind me of Age Of Empires II in some way! Good job! It took me a few  minutes to understad how game works but after all i enjoyed it! Btw cool way to tell story :)

Submitted

Wow IT's a great concept and the story is great!! Nice job. Congratulations

Developer

Thank you for playing! I’m very glad you liked the concept/story, it’s what convinced me to go for this jam. I enjoyed your game as well, was about to go rate it!

lacks of polish (in shooting games shooting should feel really impactful with lots of particles, flashes, recoil, etc), but really interesting concept and nice presentation!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing; glad you enjoyed the concept!

Re: shooting, that’s a great point - and it’s the first time making a game that has shooting, so, helpful advice! Particles for all sorts of things (spores and ash on the different tiles, sawblade sparks, rocket fire trails, taking damage from blight or mycelium, the healing perk, etc.) as well as more advanced lighting than just a vignette effect were on the list but like most polish had to be cut for time unfortunately so you’re stuck with first draft laser - I’ll definitely have improving that on the list if we come back to the game :)

i liked it wwas a decent game, no clue why it only has 1 rating tho, its probably the cover art but pls this is actually a good game its clear you put so much effort into this

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing; really glad you liked it! (It’s a late submission which explains the lack of ratings).

I have no clue why you've had 0 ratings thus far. This is one of my favorite games of the Jam BY FAR! I love the concept of infecting the different enemy types and using their abilities against them. I had a great time leveling up my guys and turning them into turrets. Not to mention an entire STORY, complete in comic book fashion with art, sound, and the whole big jam!!! I am super impressed with this game and I hope that it gets the attention it deserves!! Bravo!

Try a better cover image for the game! maybe people see it and are turned off. It doesn't showcase how awesome your game is!

Thank you so much for playing and your kind feedback, it means a great deal! :)

I suspect the primary reason it’s had very few ratings so far is that it was a quite late submission! But yes, hopefully we can get some more attention before the rating period ends, I’d love to see more folks play it.
