Absolutely amazing UI and the graphics look so nice, I had a lot of fun playing this! Its fun and it can get quite hectic as well as you get further on! Overall, this is a really good jam entry, and with audio it could turn into a really fun mobile app!

Solid game!

I like the graphics and especially the title screen.

The game can get a little hectic but is fun.

It was actually pretty easy by just spamming space and clicks to spawn warriors. I wonder how you could make it a bit more challenging.

Good submission!

Amazing art, but gameplay was not explained; I had no idea what I was doing. :slight_frown:

Lovely title screen!
The UI was nice but the game was a bit confusing. Would have been nice with some sfx and music.

I managed to win, still not entirely sure what I was doing though.
Also the enemy score was cut off, or whatever that number on the left was.
It would be helpful to have some visual indicator of the cooldown before sending the next unit. I found just spamming as many units as fast as possible was the best strategy.

Like others have said, it has nice art. It was pretty fun, idk about having points and money be different. It felt a little confusing and unneeded sense you get both money and points for setting caravans. Maybe having to choose if the caravan gets points, or to get money? Also a cool down for when I can spawn another unit/caravan would be nice.

A little hectic, but very nice graphics. The AI is simple but effective. It's all there for a good game. I like it it, although I have to admit that I was not hooked.

Interesting concept. Took a few tries to understand how to play. It's lacking some audio, which would have helped understand the gameplay I think. Otherwise pretty solid mechanics, not that easy. Nice :v:

huh (i like playing first then reading helpfull info after if there were something i didnt understand so srry in advance). i didnt realy understand what i were supposed to do at the beginning, so the middle camp got 0 resources left and the enemy stopped sending out ppl so i could just play through with nothing to worry about, the next time, then that was a real fight, i understood that i could send out ppl to steal resources and i could spam spawn horses. it was actualy was kinda fun.
i would love some clear indication that you can click on the bases to send out ppl to steal resources.
gj :dog: :dog: when i understood the mechanics this turned into a realy great game

Took me a minute to figure out how to play, but after that the concept is simple. Graphics are good, could use some sound effects though.
