〜 Beam of the Fallen 〜
Use your signal to trade with caravans and avoid getting attacked by Demon Hunters!

〜〜〜

There are three resources you have to look out for in the game:

Ores - Demons produce Ores
(the more Demons you have, the more Iron you mine).

Food - Demons consume Food
(the more Demons you have, the bigger the consumption of food, when you have no more food, your Demons start to die).

Demons - Keep your legion alive, don't get to 0 Demons!

〜〜〜
Orange Caravans = -1 Demon

Green Caravans = +1 Demon

Blue Caravan = Trade your resources!

〜 Controls: 〜
Q - E | decrease & increase signal strength

W A S D | move the camera

Really unique art! This reminded me of an old game I played on my phone back in childhood. Thanks for the nostalgia! Awesome game.

Strangely addictive. Played it myself a bit after watching Woofles play it and enjoyed it about as much as he did. Well done

At first I didn't understand what I was supposed to do, but I persisted. It was worth it because the game became quite interesting. I'm not very good, but I confess I liked it more than I thought I would.

Congratulations on the very original idea.

at some point all the caravans became the demon hunters so my demons were doomed

The trading mechanics are really interesting! I can see this evolving into a great economic strategy game. One tip: you might want to polish yours game page a bit more to catch the eye of more players

Very nostalgic vibes from this game, and I like how simply you control it, yet how much stress the game has from being cautious. And it all makes sense: demons make ore but cost food, then traders let you trade those three different things around. Again, I really liked how you managed to make this so simple, yet still had such vibes of caution and stress.

Simple and elegant entry! I like the style you went for this time around. Congrats!

Nice entry, it was easy to pick up and understand. After I developing a good strategy it felt pretty easy to maintain, I got up to 2000 rocks. Some additional mechanics would be interesting to make it a bit more difficult in some way.

Simple mechanics that promote some strategic thinking, could use more interactivity and visual feedback.

Very cool game. The mechanics are nice, the sound is great. Also clean visual. Good job.

This is a really innovative idea and i really enjoyed playing it. Audio was good too.

i really like the music it was so catchy

Promising idea and fairly well executed. Art was simple but fit the idea well. Get's chaotic rather quickly, and after a while it seemed like green caravans just all but vanished, and even blues became so rare I couldnt attract one without pulling in several orange ones, but that game had gone for a while so that might have been why. Only thing really missing is an end point objective, but otherwise, it's a good loop and pleasant experience. Well done.
