Perfect interpretation of the 10 second theme as a game mechanic. Clean and appealing art. The story is icing on the cake.

The graphics were really neat, and your idea for gameplay based on the theme was spot on. The game was a bit "chatty" in the beginning, but the story took a nice turn in the end.\r\rTwo weak points you could try to work on:\r- Sound: I think the game could use somewhat better sound effects, and a bit of music\r- Bugs: Towards the end, sometimes spirits that I had killed would crop up again - maybe the game was losing track of some of the warriors?\r\rAnyway, thanks again for the game, it was really good. \r\rHere is a video of me playing it before this review: \rhttp:\/\/youtu.be\/mvMs9BogmqA"},{"author_name":"hughsk","author_uid":"21035","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 10:17am","epoch":1377511920,"text":"Really fun!

This was the kind of concept for which it would be really easy to not use it properly and make something really annoying, but I can see a lot of little things at work here to make it less bothersome - for instance, the totems seem to target gatherers last.\rThe graphics are great, also, especially for 48 hours, along with programming a pretty complicated concept. This is the kind of quality I would be impressed by in a Jam entry. The only thing that reveals the time limit is the ending. It seems a bit rushed, but I can't exactly complain.
