The game is really cool, it took me time to understand the mechanic, but when you have the game it's really easy.

Nothing says "I love you" better, than gathering an army of undead!

Markus Sihler2 Oct 2023, 21:20

Good concept, though it is kind of hard to tell how much strength equals which unit. A lifebar or something would've been nice. Also some unity seem to be getting stuck on the right side of the screen.

Beautiful and funny to play. I really apreciate your game.
The theme is well present in the gameplay itself. Very high quality overall!

Just 2 (little) remarks:
- Music is nice, but I missed some sound FX on my actions
- Perhaps a bit of explanation about the monsters you recruit (just a message on hover?) whould help for immersion

Your description is missing a few lines that you say will be there. Other than that, your game's art is AMAZING! I LOVE the concept and story. The Necormancer is beautiful, the paladin is a little derpy but so cute, the controls are clean and the ending art is 10/10. I am just a little sad that the game is so short and after one or two tries doesn't pose any real challange. It's still my overall my favourite so far though!

Love the art style and the idea. Gameplay is pretty simple, would like to see more variation in strategy

Cool game and concept, the art style is great! I was kind of uncertain of when I was able to fight each unit, but besides that, it was simple and fun to play, congrats!

Edom Games2 Oct 2023, 22:24

It's an interesting concept with nice looking art. It crashed on me when I clicked one of the villagers though, then I got soft locked somehow. It wasn't clear how it happened unfortunately :(

JCMonkey2 Oct 2023, 23:13

kind of wierd, i lost the game before i finished the tutorial stuff?

Bumble2 Oct 2023, 23:50

This game might need some more explanation. I won the game but until the end it felt like I was clicking randomly and had no idea when my actions could have been beneficial or not. It worked out, but I have no clue why.

Apart from that, I liked the premise and art style!

I liked the title and the animation art, but I somehow won the game by randomly clicking on villagers. I saw the paladin and captured him + a bunch of villagers. Also it would be nice if there was more of a challenge or more levels! Maybe it could transition into an RPG type game.

Short fun experience. I like that I didn't understand a thing (except controls) in the tutorial and had to come up with what is a good play and what is not. Great art!

Lovewerk3 Oct 2023, 07:36

Cool game! The character art is my favourite part. I didn't really understand how it worked at first. It told me to go for the strongest characters, so I couldn't understand why clicking on the kinghts made me lose. Once I understood how you need to work your way up through the different unit tiers, it all clicked though. Good job!

- The art was good
- The music started off way too loud
- I think I skipped through the tutorial text, and didn't understand it the second time
- Towards the end I summoned the paladin with my full army and they were stuck there dancing for like a minute while I randomly clicked around and then I won.

Cute visuals, cool melody and funny laugh. But the game is too easy and short. The game is easy to complete without understanding why a list of collected monsters is needed at all...

wiru3 Oct 2023, 22:11

i love the art style and the sounds are nice too, but i felt lost in the beginning, not really knowing what to do. But after a few trial and error I got going. Nice game

m0rph1y4 Oct 2023, 13:47

I really like the idea of summoning some undead units to increasing ur power and be more stronger. Sound design and art is really good too. I like the concept but can't really understand where is theme? Overall good game!!!

Ankledot4 Oct 2023, 14:45

Looks pretty cool but glitched out, love the art and audio

merdeboi6 Oct 2023, 07:45

The R in the font makes it seem like there is a space, so like "eur ica" or "pur e", but that's a pure nitpick. It's a very quick lose, but the concept of converting townspeople and growing your "horde" is always great and also very well executed in this case. Really fun short game.

Did get stuck twice like this:

However managed to finish the game still cause it's pretty good, lovely art and sounds :smile: Well done.

Nevernox6 Oct 2023, 21:22

Love the concept of stacking better and better units as an necromancer! The art is very stylish and looks great; I like how the music adds to the atmosphere and action as well) Thank you for the game, well done! :)

Really cool idea and I like the idea of getting more powerful undead soldiers based on the villagers you kill. Really love the idea of summoning the paladin just to kill him to he can be yours. Such an awesome game and really cute artstyle.
