You are a lich! Destroy the living and their castle!

* Fixed a tiny bug that let various players (probably with faster PCs than mine) glitch through walls. * Fixed a small player control bug * Added a line to game instructions

* Fixed the bug that ACTUALLY caused the wall glitching. It was rather a flaw in the level design though. A classic corner/collider glitch... I think... I hope... fingers crossed.
Lovely low poly art and fun gameplay. It took me a while to figure out how to use the resurrect spell. I'd suggest placing the graves closer to the player to start with and also play a negative alert sound when it is used on an invalid location to make it clear to the player she is doing it wrong. Getting points for how many houses, peasants and knights you get would also give it some more replayability.
The low-poly art and hoards of the death remind me of Death Inc. It's a great game if you haven't heard of it yet. Good Job - I thoroughly enjoyed playing it.
Yesss! Very cool dude. I really wanted a command to tell my skeletons to attack the closest enemies (and one to cancel it so they go back to just shielding me) simple and great game!
Love the style of the game. Although the gameplay is basically very simple, you need to be quite careful in assessing if you can take on those soldiers, as they are quite strong. Well done!
Very good game, add some music and sound would be perfect

Nice game, clean art and easy to figure out. Did find it a bit hard as I think skeletons should auto attack and clicking them would not always register. Graves would sometimes miss raycast and no be able to cast resurrection.
Very Interesting, love the graphics style, although the game is difficult due to the speed that guards run at. good job man. Also, movement would have been better with WASD or arrow keys
Damn! This is funny! I really like the gameplay mechanics and I played a lot! The graphic is clean and nice and the audio well suited! The game is also a little difficult to beat! Well done! :D
I didn't find it incredibly challenging, but this was mostly because I figured out that you can lure individual guards away from the others and pick them off one by one, so I had lots of skeleltons by the end. I still enjoyed it, though.
It took me a bit to figure out that you can order skeletons to attack but when I did it got way more fun.
That was a lot of fun, but I really couldn't beat it. Tried a few times and just can't figure out how to not lose three skeletons per guard. haha. Ah well, great job. :)
Lovely art style and I liked all the units sliding around like miniatures :3 Interesting mechanics of building up your horde and attacking decisively. Impressive to make so much for a solo compo entry!
What we liked: Having a big hoard of skeletons follow you around is really fun, and it was nice to be able to direct them where to attack. The art style was nice and the objectives (kill all the things) were clear from the start.
What could be improved: It wasn't entirely clear how to direct the skellies to attack. Once I worked that out the game was really really easy. Fun, but very short. A bit of music would have really added some atmosphere to the game and the sounds were limited but worked well enough in the game.
Really nice game. It remind me the level of Warcraft 3 where you play as Arthas and you need to slaughter infected citizens. You could add people inside the houses to make them interesting to destroy.
Really cool game! I like the direction you took with the theme, and you had very tight rts mechanics which I think I've seen so far who has managed to execute that correctly in Ludum Dare.
Really fun and challenging. Actually reaction from zombie would have been cool in order to avoid mass murder by a poor soldier. Could be more fun with archer and other kind of zombie, skeleton, and also upgrade for creature by choice or automatically with xp point when they fight. It lack of screams and war sound great.
Great low poly models and a nice clean environment. Simple controls and task, was fun to play. Did not hear any sounds at all, maybe a bug on Firefox for Mac not sure.
A few attack FX and some basic animations you could make a nice game from this, you got a good solid base to something bigger.
The idea of playing a powerful lich on a quest to increase your power and is a lot of fun, everytime you kill one of those pesky guards or villagers and raise their skeleton to be added them to your army of darkness is a joy.
My main complaint would be the lack of some features like pathfinding for the skeletons and enemies and more enemy variety but that is understandable considering the time frame, the game obviously has a lot of potential to be expanded.
Cool game mate! I love the art style :P Super cool. Some music would add a lot. The gameplay was quite balanced too - I wasn't able to defeat the castle guard :P 4/5!
We had some very similar ideas about how to approach this theme :) I dig the art style. It would be nice if the skeletons had a little autonomy or it was more clear that the skeletons were attacking something and not just standing around. Was there a point to burning down the houses, or was it just cool to do?
What a fun game! I love the way the games progresses, either you get stronger and stronger or you get wiped out and have to rebuild. Reminds me of my days of playing Diablo 2 with a necromancer :)
this game is hard. I liked gathering as much people as i could, but it was just so hard not to attract the guards before i was ready to fight them. :-)
Really nice game! I included it in part 18 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/U5AMORGkiRk

Aside from that over all like in all (graphic, sounds, gameplay). I would probably preffer to move using wsad.
Big like for burning houses - Really nice effect.
Hi,
Right clicking enemies orders your skeletons to attack them.
That's really weird. Can you tell me where you glitched through?
Thanks man! You can call your skeletons back by clicking with the middle mouse button.
The graphic is clean and nice and the audio well suited!
The game is also a little difficult to beat! Well done! :D
Great job! :)

The low poly art is pretty cool.
