We need more tower defence elements!:smiling_imp:
I don't know if there's a game exactly like this already and you've got the idea from there, or that you came up with this(in which case amazing job!), but this is very polished and well made
Late game is too easy, almost automotised it! I want it to become harder and harder! But only two wolves per turn is easy to deal with. Can't upload screenshot for some reason(
另外发现好像没有铁矿可以采？所以没有造出 artist。玩到52回合发现好像敌人又开始一直出狼了，就停了~
We are sorry the iron is not marked clearly enough, the resource deposit in the top left corner of the map is iron.
And only farmers and artisans can collect resources.
We only design to the 50th level due to time, and the later are 2 wolves repeat.
I love these little pocket-sized strategy games, and this one it really good! I can just imagine it with more unit types, buildings, enemies, different terrain - a really, really solid foundation for a game!
It's really an interesting game, good job!
becomes loads of clicking though :smile:
Card game + Age of Empires alike it's an explosive combination for me, you hit me on my weak point.
Here you have your 5 stars, sir.
The design is fantastic. Having to make all those decision quickly makes the simplicity of it really shine. I like small details like the farmers respawning after some times when an unit dies. The game feels like it was well tested and adjusted.
Great job and thanks for the game!
I went up to 80 and stopped when I was sure it was only going to be 2 wolves per wave from this point!
The idea is just great and fits jam at any point.
Gameplay is slow, but it has a point.
Thank you for a submition!
I was already a fan of you 10 years ago.
I'm very happy that the game we designed was recognized by you~
