Good idea and interesting gameplay, but this sound kill my ears

Hey, your ldjam.com unity embed seems to be broken! If you disable Data Caching in your project settings and rebuild, that will probably fix the issue. LDjam.com has kind of weird conditions for unity embeds to work.

Fun gathering resources, to build guys to gather more resources. The art is cute, audio is a bit lackluster.

The game was not challenging at all though, I had more resources than I could ever use and tons(TONS) of little minions summoned.

Fun entry, good work!

I like the idea, and enjoyed playing. Great work :)
Had to turn off the sound tho. (dont take it personally, I do that for alot of games)

Not levelling up too fast is definitely key with the increasing costs for each unit at each tier, and sunk one of my early runs. I like the sort of combo of idle game and wave defense.

Rokevicius16 Apr 2024, 16:42

Game is pretty easy, you can just spam workers, and after first night you are basically invincible as you can non stop spam fighters! Keep me occupied for a while! :D

Nytezerak16 Apr 2024, 16:43

Pretty cool! But please, make the chopping noise less frequent ;u;

Gianni16 Apr 2024, 16:45

Nice game and nice idea, the sounds are a bit annoying, but otherwise it's fine.

Timur_Bahadir16 Apr 2024, 16:46

The art is really charming :smile:

This was a really fun resource management game. There definitely is a lot to think about and I found myself regretting not buying more spells since them seem like they'll be very powerful in the later nights. Overall a nice little game (love the spell names btw)

Dose not seem to load for me on this site but play nicely on Itch. The tapping sound is a bit loud in relation to the other sounds, but beyond that nice and fun, I can se myself getting lost in this :)

This game climbed into my brain and took it over. Absolutely great. I played until I had hundreds of units and the game started lagging. This is absolutely my jam!

Prepe16 Apr 2024, 17:35

A bit of performance problems at later stages when you have a lot of 'w'inions, but other than that fun game mabye a bit short lived as i could not level up after level 3.

Love that meditating agressive calm, ha-ha. Love idea of my own village of strange creatures.

Kirass16 Apr 2024, 23:05

I really liked this game! You guys are great!

I liked the concept and gameplay. It was a little confusing trying to tell which resource was which and which worker type was responsible for each.

N3K0K33P3R17 Apr 2024, 11:02

It would be great to see a bit more balance in resource distribution and costs to keep the game challenging throughout. Also, consider toning down the chopping noise—it gets a bit repetitive. Overall, fun and cute game, wish you luck!

ryusui23 Apr 2024, 01:37

Really enjoyed that! I got overwhelmed on the eighth night and wiped out. ^_^;

It does seem it's a little hard to balance keeping up my numbers and keeping them upgraded enough to fend off the hordes. Also, I'll admit there's something you do here that tweaks my OCD: the gauges on the left for how many of each kind of minion you have are NOT in the same order as the buttons for summoning them!

denilseven24 Apr 2024, 19:03

This is cool! The helpers are so cute, and the spells are so *nice* lol
I got to night 8 on my first try as well.

Feedback: *(same as the comment above)* You can make the order of things in UI - like the summons list and the inventory - more consistent, always starting with one element - like mud - and then the other and so on.

That was a fun game, I enjoyed summoning minions to gather more and more ressources. The difficulty spikes pretty hard at some point and I guess the point is to increase your ressource/minion production faster than the difficulty curve which is fun in itself. Visuals are cute and the game run smoothly, sound effects are serviceable.

Solid entry overall!

Very well done, it is a very entertaining game! It was however a bit hard to remember which minion corresponds to what, it would have been nice to reuse the same icons in all appropriate places. I didn’t really try the spells either, it was too much already with all the resources, minions, fighters, levels, etc.
