The music is pretty nice too\n\nthe gameplay however just seems unfair to me. maybe im missing something, like a way to generate more ener-gears, but it feels like there's no way to place pieces fast enough to hold back a few seconds of waves. even if you only place pawns, they spawn way quicker than you'd ever be able to hold back.\n\nOther than that, i thought it was cool! nice job :grin: ","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ja_viera","author_uid":"1074879","time":"2018-05-10T22:28:57Z","epoch":1525991337,"modified":1525991337,"text":"Gampleay concept is very fun, although very difficult, I couldn't get to spawn the last character.

The game wasn't so much \"difficult\" per se, more that there's no winning strategy and there's no point to using any unit other than the pawns.\n\nMaybe something like units can attack the spots that they can move to in chess without losing any hearts, but they lose health if enemies run into them directly?
