This entry is amazing!\rIt has amazing graphics, good audio and a great bit of gameplay. It even has upgrades!\rFor a 48hr compo, this definitely looks more like a Jam.

Enjoy!\r\n\r\n==================Original Submission======================\r\n\r\nIts got a few issues, but I'm pretty happy with my entry for once! :D\r\n\r\nI originally planned to make an rpg\/strategy hybrid that was more focused on your evil general character, but time-constraints meant I had to cut it down to a short RTS game. I developed the game primarily to be played on Android 3.0+, but I've uploaded a webplayer version that you can control with the mouse.\r\n\r\nTo issue orders just click\/tap on a unit and then click its destination.\r\n\r\nCombat works in a kind of Rock-Paper-Scissors format:\r\n\r\nKnights > Swordsmen > Pikemen > Knights...\r\n\r\nTested on Samsung Galaxy S3. If you're having trouble installing on Android, make sure you go into your phone settings and enable the installation of non-app store applications.\r\n\r\nIf I come back to it, the game probably could probably do with:\r\n\r\n-Balancing\r\n-Better AI\r\n-Sprite drawing code that works\r\n\r\nAnyway, hope you enjoy! :)\r\n\r\nNotes\r\n===========================\r\nMade with Unity, Photoshop and Audacity\r\nMusic created in BeepBox (http:\/\/www.beepbox.co\/)\r\nSounds created from freesounds.org samples<\/p>","title":"Knights of Uruk"}
