Finally I managed to defeat the Lord Marbles. Only took me seven runs. :D I survived with 22 minions by only producing swords. It was fun to find the right time to attack the lord. But I'd wish the defensive items had more or any effect. And the usablity of the UI deserves revision. But after all I had a lot of fun.

Wow dude, that was some frantic fun! I could hardly think of critiquing while playing. The micromanagement is intense!
Sometimes the dinos would stop seemingly random at the storage area and getting them back to work while not disturbing the other workers is very finicky. A button to select idle dinos would be great. Also the support for controll groups would help a lot.

I surrender to the all powerful eye. He's just too strong!

@blacklambert yeah you are absolute right! I ran out of time and didn't have enough time to balance all the items and the health. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Nice game, love how I have to produce items quick to fight the eye.

There is that one bug with the miners, they sometimes don't mine. I hope this can get fixed.

@hugonun glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, sometimes when you click on stuff, they don't really do it. I have problems when there are multiple rocks on top of eachother.

Lovely micro RTS! like it. And there's some tiny resource management going on as the iron is like a 2nd degree resource kind of a bottle neck for sword.

A very original idea, I really like it!

Great game, good concept, I liked the different things the eye said, I also liked how you payed attention to detail on the eye.

@plugworldg thanks! I wanted a completely different center boss... but I didn't have time to animate anything. So I decided on an eye boss because it was more programming intensive. I looked at what Zelda: link to the past did for their eyeball boss for inspiration :)
