My feedback for you:\r\r- The graphics are far to small.\r- It would be better, if you mark the places which can be conquered.\r- At my first start, I instantly died because of some enemies around my spawn (is there a retry-button?)\r- How can I kill enemies and get minions? I conquered places and they die if they walk on the plaque, but there are no minions. Even if I conquer their buildings."}],"images":["ld25\/18371-aa199d3e9081437a048d5b4b9dca34f6.jpg","ld25\/18371-ab61ec496c401fe8bd866b23769744cb.jpg","ld25\/18371-16dd6315c28361e65bce75adb2ece860.jpg","ld25\/18371-129bea0fedb1c9eb7a62408ed4aa9807.jpg","ld25\/18371-244e7c9f3e8ba3ce71e71dec386a95ba.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/joozey.nl\/ineedtocode\/?action=view&url=the-plague","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/joozey.nl\/ineedtocode\/?action=view&url=the-plague","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"27492","g_author":"18371","g_event":"LD25","g_eventkey":"14","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"27522","g_title":"The Plague","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"453","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/18371-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/18371-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/18371-shot2.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/18371-shot3.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/18371-shot4.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Arrow keys to move around.\r\nClaim areas by holding space.
