I probably made a mistake by playing this game first of all others for this jam. I can't imagine others being this good. This is astounding in every category. It's not merely a product of having a 10 person team, it's excellence contributed by each person in that team. Great job, people!

Very nice graphics, loved the feel of the game. It must have taken some serious team work to complete this, and I commend you guys for that. Great job!

Just wow. First I will give extra points because it is made in Unreal ^^
The look is very good but even beside that I love that the gameplay is really easy from the get go, even without the instructions. Very very good work. Love it. Cant believe this is made in 3 Days.

Throughout the game I did enjoy every moment of shooting out balls of beam to heal my golem and loved to see it kill those small "murloks" that appeared there. The game is really fun and love the way it advances, it is a proper game all and all. The only problem I have is that I would like a little more reference of what is happening around me, like a sound or UI or something telling me the golem is being hit or where he is while I go for gems. I still loved the game, great game!!

Fantastic work! Controls felt very fluid and animations and UI gave really good feedback! It's great to see such a large team working so well together!

Wow, very cool game. Graphics and gameplay are great, but golem attack sounds would be much better if sounded heavier and not just like light slaps

I love the character designs here. The golem is very unique and incredibly interesting visually. I also loved the frog enemies. The mechanic of not being able to fight on your own, but rather trying to help someone who can is really cool. The game ran a bit slowly on my computer and I kept running into the water and dying as a result, but that's probably on my side, not yours. Awesome job!

Visually astonishing, fun to play. The golem sometimes get stuck when I gave an order because of the monsters, but nothing to be worried to. A very well closed game.

Great game, the golem isn't always the smartest of bois but it sure is the goodest of bois ^^

Falling to death is very sad and that's how it ended for me, please remove it (no salt involved here)

That was awesome! The level of polish in almost every aspect of the game is just amazing. The only problem I found is that sometimes golem gets stuck on terrain, or just stops attacking enemies, but besides that everything was perfect!

Very impressive amount of content. And very tasteful 3D art which is hard to pull off in a short time.
Balancing getting gems and healing your golem was interesting.
I'm not sure being able to die by falling into the water is an interesting mechanic.

The tutorial disappears in a flash and I didn't know that my projectiles weren't killing enemies or that the golum was friendly until restarting. Slow down the tut or make it harder to miss. Graphics are nice, music is fine, sound design that reflects what happening on screen feels missing. All in all, neat twist on horde mode where you don't directly fight.
