Totemham by WallenJenkins

[raw]
made by WallenJenkins for LD35 (JAM)
Welcome to the magic forest of Totemham. You are playing as a druid who controls three totems. Your birch sends wisps from time to time, who transforms into powerful combo of different beasts with the help of powerful ritual near the totems. The goal is to destroy enemy totem(s) and burn enemy trees down!

CONTROLS: mouse only

New player tips:
Your totems have 3 parts: body, head and legs. Each can be upgraded to one of 5 beasts. Bodies and legs are defensive, legs are also speed modifiers, heads are offensive. Some of the heads can use ranged attacks, flying creatures are immune to ranged attacks. Swap is a key to win the late game.

TODO:
Multiplayer, more beasts, open packs with new beasts:), deckbuilding (you have to choose only 5 beasts for each game), spells, smart AI, fix bugs and tutorial

P.S. made in two days by three people, hope you enjoy. Welcome to comments!

I didn't get exactly how this game works but it was fine!

A little confusing to play. I couldn't really figure out what to do with the different parts. It's nicely put together though!

Took a while to get what I was doing, by which time the enemies were coming at me pretty hard.

Could do with a chance to read what each upgrade does in some pause mode maybe? Also had to fumble around to figure out how to upgrade my totem to be able to add a 2nd animal head.

Good concept with nice stat calculations.

Certainly confusing to get started. Hard to get an idea of why you would want different upgrades, or how you get money.

Actually there is a small player tutorial in the description, isn't it?

I lose, I win, but not sure how. But it works, and it was fun to try. Perhaps more info on fight behavior of each part would help player to manage better.

It was a bit to much at once to understand or know what was going on tbh... tutorial explains the game story but not really how the game mechanic works, maybe add one example? ... Big Kudos though for adding volume controls, a feature often overlooked in this competition!
