I love the look of the game and the overall concept but had a couple issues. Main problem is that the durability is too low for a weapon, kinda wish the guy inside could be automated so when you gather materials he will throw a weapon out after a certain amount of time. Also a couple times when he threw a weapon out I couldn't grab it as it was too far in the trees. Overall I really love the concept and art though.

If you want to check out our game would love to hear what you think :)

The collision needs some work, but the graphics are gorgeous and the concept is great. Keep working on this, since I want to see this finished!

Great game! I would agree with @Bitten Toast Games on the issue, but other than that amazing work!

I loved this game, but damn it's hard :D the controls took me a little time to get used to and the weapon's durability is really low, it takes way too much work for 2-3 swings, but I do get it that it needs to be hard.

That was an interesting experience, though I hit a few snags (my weapon broke and I couldn't pick the other one up off the ground). The graphics and sound were really well done, the gameplay was simplistic but elegantly so.

It was glitchy in general but the concept and grphics are really good. I had fun.

This game is awesome! It get's a bit clunky and difficult when there are loads of zombies on screen, but it's still gorgeous! Congratulations!

Very nice graphics. Love the animations. Well done!

Wow, your game design and animations are incredible ! I also love your idea to play 2 characters at the same time.
But I think the game is too hard :/ The weapon durability is too weak and the ennemies are too strong/many.

Nice concept, graphics and music! After I discovered how I should play, I was a bit overwhelmed by the great number of enemies in combination with the fact that I could not use my weapons very long. Some in game tutorial or explanation would be nice. :) But overall, well done!

The isometric controls were a little difficult getting use to, but I love how pretty the game is!

Excellent style! I love the visuals and models! Cool concept too, but I felt it might work better with two players. Maybe that's just because I fowl victim to the orcs so many times on my own...

Hey @littlestone-games we used AssetForge From Kenney for the art, and animated inside unity3d. I've updated the description adding the tools =)

Pretty neat game - the graphics are really amazing, kudos to y'all! The music is nice but the main menu music's loop is a bit abrupt, that's a bit of a shame. In terms of gameplay, the game's concept is interesting - and the way the waves of ennemies are setup is well-balanced, at the start at least - but it's impossible to play if you're on your own ^^# That's a bit of a shame - pretty good all in all, good job :-)

Awesome game! The graphics are very clean -- I especially like the Greek Frets on the UI.

Though, playing on the mac version, I encountered a glitch where the warrior just floats over everything. I quit and restarted the game, but couldn't reproduce it.

Also, I found that it was completely viable to just ignore the blacksmith altogether and hit orcs until it's over. The orcs are just too simple-minded, I think: all they do is follow you around, but if they were to go back and attack the house, there would be more incentive for the player to forge more weapons.

Even so, it was much more enjoyable to play the game with both warrior and blacksmith. It was actually quite fun!
