It took me a bit to figure out the magic\/human dynamics, but once I did it was fun to play. No one element of this game really stood out to me as exceptional, but as a whole it was a cohesive, challenging, and enjoyable experience. After being nearly pushed to defeat, I was able to build llamas using my castle as a shield and reach the critical mass (~2) llamas to crush any enemy spawns and take down the enemy ship."},{"author_name":"Toccio","author_uid":"19997","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 7:10pm","epoch":1461092700,"text":"Thanks!

I thought it fit the theme fairly nice. It was somewhat challenging too. Though once you get a foothold, it's easy to snowball and overpower the AI which can be fun. The music was nice, I felt it fit with the action. Good game, I would love to see this worked on even more!"},{"author_name":"Pestel Crew","author_uid":"47507","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 6:44am","epoch":1461220740,"text":"Fun game, extra star for c++)"},{"author_name":"magicagrilsdoinggamesforsenpai","author_uid":"91264","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 6:49am","epoch":1461221040,"text":"I really liked, good job!!"},{"author_name":"runvs","author_uid":"29172","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 9:54am","epoch":1461232140,"text":"Very well executed! I like the graphic style and the mechanics. They are challenging, but never unfair. I would have liked to have more levels und upgrades. I did not understand the mechanics about mana and people alltoghether, a quick introduction would have been nice here.\rAnother point to mention: the music is quite nice, but the soundeffects are way too loud compared to that. A good trick (when using sfml) is to create three slightliy different sounds (e.g. for taking damage) and choosing randomly one of them.\rAlso, +1 Star and a big bunch of respect for using c++ and SFML, which is not the easiest combination for a jam!"},{"author_name":"Toccio","author_uid":"19997","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 11:49am","epoch":1461239040,"text":"Thanks a lot! I know that the mana and people mechanic is not top clear, but I thought it would have been nice to let the player understand it! Maybe I was wrong xD \rFor the sound, i tried to lower the sound effects but i know they are still too loud, I'm sorry for that but I couldn't sound more time in that..\rThanks for the advices!

A bit tricky to figure out at first (as there isn't really much time to play around and learn at that point), but once you get the hang of it it's rather pleasant, if maybe a bit too simple. The graphics weren't really top-notch, but they have their charm and serve the purpose well enough.
