The land of Shadowfen has been overrun by goblin hordes. They have razed cities, sacked farmlands and murdered countless people in their demented bloodlust. The town of Ostbury, sitting on the edge of the Shadowfen, has so far been spared their wrath. But as the approaching army makes its way east, it won't remain that way for long.

A mysterious well with strange magical properties has appeared in the village, causing the population to spawn Sorcerer Babies. They have no choice but to use them to fight the goblin horde.

Interesting story! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/7Oqdb7VuCRQ

I like your sense of humor.

The game itself was a bit to easy for my taste, nevertheless the mechanics work.

Have to go now, raising 200 mage babies :-)

Loving the humor, especially the responses on buttons!

Good entry. I find it kinda hard to understand at the beginning

Loved the story and the humor. It's difficult to understand at first but once you got the basics it's very easy (maybe too much?). Overall a solid entry. :)

I tried to see if I could cheese it by favouring one strategy exclusively, and I couldn't survive without taking a neutral approach, so great work on balance!

Really nice game:)

My English is not very good, so I give up:(

I really like pixelarts, so bonus points for you :). The Textadventure is good to understand and its very funny. Good Work!

Not my type of game at all, but I can see you went for something unusual and I respect the hell out of that. Well done.

Oddly satisfying, I'm a sucker for watching numbers grow. It was very easy, you could probably have cranked up the enemies a bit.

Also: thank you for putting in an end state, otherwise this might have taken up way too much of my time.
