The 3D graphics were cool and I liked the spider sound effects. This game had some good features.

Unique take on an auto battler, leveling up a hero as you watching him/her fight.. Could feel even better with more choices either with more leveling or maybe finding chests and you get to pick one out of three items or something. Really interesting concept, well done! :)

I didn't realize it was an auto-battler. I feel like a child who suddenly noticed their controller hasn't been plugged in for days.

the animations are slow, and lack impact. there's also no sense of feed back when an enemy is hit.

It needs a lot of work.

I like autobattlers but permanent progress makes this one too easy and unengaging. The setting is super cute though.

@alaah ahah insane ! The pathfinding is ... quite buggy x) but normally she come back on the grass to finish some kill :D

I like the graphics, it has heart.
I would have liked a bit more variety in the action. The numbers in the UI would've benefitted from labels or icons, even though their colors are consistent with most games.
A solid attempt overall!

What a nice little game! It refers me back to the times when I played on PS1. So nostalgic!

Good game. Sims that you forgot to remove generate map button :)
Not quite understand that I can use ability first time.
Would be cool if you could continue to fight agains spiders, so you can overbuff your character like in Risk of Rain

Fun concept and cute ending! I couldn't see some of the fights due to the trees. Either going for an outline / see through effect or having the camera move out of the way would be great, if you haven't looked into Unity's cinemachine camera system yet I highly recommend it!

Took me a bit before knowing what was going on to be honest ^^, I have never played an autobattler before! Did not know what it was (except for raid shaddow ledgends where those youtubers where talking about :laughing: )

Once I got the hang of it and found my control I had fun! The graphics are cute and to the point :)
The Generate map button at the top I did not really understand, is that from development?

I remembered the Minecraft game! Battle with spiders... How long ago it was! :) Finish the battle behind the tree, when you only see the tree, it's hard to play :)

liked the graphics, the lighting could be better and you would see a massive improvement in your graphics.

Animations left slow and some impact on hits and kills would help sell them more.

Good effort and keep going!

A vert fun game! I had some trouble figuring out what it was initially, but then I got the hang of it! Cute graphics and sfx!

My only suggestion would be to make the player movement a bit more faster so as to make the game a bit more fast paced!

One thing I noticed is, sometimes the trees would block your character from you and I had no idea how many spiders were ambushing me for a while xD
