I enjoyed this quite a bit. I 'won' but did not get a victory condition, but otherwise a fun mindgame.

*fixed the Win Condition (some weird collider/trigger mistake)

Pretty fun! Enjoyed it!

Good!

Awesome game! :)

I really like your game. I think everything worked well together and its was a lot of fun.

Really good!

Great Idea and lot's of fun I got the crown! Seemed like the enemy did not upgrade the tower until very late game though which made it pretty easy to win

This is a great mechanic, I can't wait to play this with someone else

Really fun game, well done!

egooze9 Dec 2014, 20:42

very well done, great idea and a lot of fun. Love the 2 player mode.

I managed to get a tie on my second try (didn't spawn any knights). Both miners reached the crown at the same time. I liked the concept a lot and if it were more fully developed I could see playing this often. Good job!

Really cool game :)

Fun little thing, would be cool to see this sort of thing expanded. It is quite easy to get into semi-stalemates, but with a bit of tinkering this could well be something excellent. Nice job!

had to experiment a bit, but after I got it, quite fun .)

Interesting idea. It manages to give a familiar control scheme without feeling like the game has been done before.

I don't know exactly what i'm doing but miners jumping over others makes the gameplay quite fun and weird :)

Aske13 Dec 2014, 01:26

Really addictive!

A lot of fun. This is way more balanced and challenging than the first couple of spawns led me to believe. Mechanics are nice. I wish there was an indicator of how the knights determine a winner. Well done.

Nice work regarding overall completion of the game. I couldn't figure out a way to win though. After the first miners/upgrade rush, me and the IA were a perfect mirror. Then started the age of knights! We fought for quite a while with no other result that dozen of dead corpses fallen in the abyss x) Good work anyway, would be fun to try the 2P mode.

Very fun, the graphics style is hilarious and the use of the theme is good. Gets a bit grindy and tense waiting for enough gold to arrive to try to keep the enemy from knocking out the castle upgrades.

Could do with some sound outside the menu, but nice job overall!

Hi there. Interesting idea. Like the animations and process of playing. Be nice to have a bit more room for some exercise of skill. Fun to watch though. Shame no sound in game, but like the sound in the start menu. Good job!

I enjoy games like this, but i wish it had more upgrade options. Good Job!
