Orcs vs Skeletons
About development
This is the second game jam in my life and the first one when I'm making a game aloneI started the first day with another project and realized too late that it was not fun and not playable, I decided to start over with a brand new idea
Gesture detection system took me a lot of time to implement and debug, now it looks like it working kind of ok most of the time
I see some ways to improve the game but have to focus on other things
All assets I have drawn myself, unfortunately there's no sound in the game ;(
Controls
Rune table - left bottom of the screen, draw runes (described above the table) over it1, 2, 3 (or LMB) - switch cast lines
Have fun!

Feels like a tech demo, but a cool one! Great job considering you switched mid-way through and it's the first time you've worked on a game jam alone. Keep it up!

a very good game, but also quite difficult. but the idea is just great, I like it!

Very nice concept and the drawing part was more elaborate than I was expecting. Well done!
But I'm not sure whether it's unbalanced or I'm really bad, but after 5 tries I haven't managed to kill a single orc :D

Very nice idea and well implemented. The summoning table is amazing. Unfortunately I was not able to clear the first wave :( It's a little bit to difficult for me. Maybe start with only one enemy on one lane.
I love the thumbs up skeleton, nice work on that!
Thank you!

Loved it! Nice gameplay, got me struggling sometimes but it's fun as hell!

Good job with the concept! It's really hard too, but I feel like it could be super fun as a fully fledged game. Naturally the art and lack of audio leave a little to be desired, but as a tech demo it's a really cool one that shows potential!

Quite difficult for me, I just can't get my brain and mouse movement to work fast enough to get through round 1 :(
Great idea, I've tried it some years back but never got the gesture detection working, so nice work :thumbsup:

It took me a bit to get through Wave 1 and get the hang of things, but it is fun. A good concept and overall good execution. It might be nice to start with easier enemies that gradually get harder. But a great entry.

Feels a bit unfinished but still impressive!

The gesture system is really unique and cool! Awesome job for your 2nd jam, esp. considering you had to restart. I will say that the game starts off slightly too difficult.

It's an interesting concept, sometimes it failed to recognize the drawing but it's a good game. Good job!

Ok so after playing it for a little while I kinda found tricks for the shape detection to work a little better, now I guess what could be done with a little more time is balancing enemies and spell cooldowns or something. Anyway it is a really creative idea and you were able to put it together in a shorter amount of time so.. Good job !

Ohhh, love the concept and implementation, yet as others said, it's very difficult.

Thanks to all for your feedback!
Not really easy. But work quite well. Had a few time were I thought I should summon and didn't work but wasnt to frustating
