The choice of animated text plays out very nicely.
Was there supposed to be audio? You can opt out of the category if you didn't create any music/fx for your game. PS: Since you went in the Jam category, I believe you're allowed to use some assets to fill in the gap? (just once again opt out of the category)
Thanks for the feedback
My only real complaint was that it felt to me like you should collect souls/graves by running into them rather than pressing a button to pick them up. That's how it is in many other games in this style I could think of, but I'm sure you had a reason for doing it differently.
Maybe you can check out our game as well (Soon to be published) it's in a very similar niche!
While the tutorial crow is nicely implemented it would be better to not have to wait for it each run.
Interaction could be done with Space or mouse instead of E.
At the end it'd be nice to see how far you got.
Solid entry nevertheless!
it devolves very quickly into spamming E and clicking cars towards the end. it didn't really feel like I'm making big choices when summoning units.
nice entry ^^
Good job !
