For example in RTS like Starcraft, warcraft players can actually click several times with the last selected troops so it's kind of standard behaviour expected from a \"rts-like\" game.\n\nCheers\n\nPS : I found that gathering all monsters near the house works the best to not loose them against the wrong big monsters :P\n![Screenshot 2024-10-08 at 20.39.24.png](\/\/\/raw\/8ca\/53\/z\/6804d.png)","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":1093592,"author_name":"Klaus Peter","author_uid":"klaus-peter","epoch":1728413187,"text":"Damn, this is a really fun game.

It's been a while since I've played an RTS at Ludum Dare, and there aren't many of them these days! I really enjoyed it. I was left wanting more levels, unit types, and the ability to build structures because the concept of using tiny creatures in an RTS is something I haven't seen before. Have you considered expanding the game? I've always seen serious RTS games, but never with such adorable elements like tiny creatures. This is a great entry!
