Vikings by timtipgames
Vikings honor the order of war. Only one Viking will fight another Viking at any given time.
Norse rituals are used by at least 5 Vikings to shapeshift into even more dangerous warriors.
An evil rebellion viking tribe tries to overrun your village.
Manage your forces wisely to survive.
Odin knows, balancing is hard to do.
For the gods to hear your prayers you need Java 1.8.

Fixed a bug where shapeshifting failed most of the time and shapeshifted warriors couldn't be attacked, making it impossible to win the game.

What I like:
Difficulty curve. It moves up gradually until it hits hard mode on Level 20 or so.
Graphics. The cute style matches well with the game and reminds me of Warcraft a bit.
Music. Sound effects were good but the music is better. It goes well with the forest background, too.
Fun. I had a great time with the game and I'd play it again if a post compo version with more stuff ever gets made.
What I dislike:
Not much. I haven't played it enough to test if there's imbalance between large and small vikings, but I'll try to go with a "small but plenty" tactic on my next play. Only after that I can judge if the "only one viking to fight with another" can be exploited.
Overall: This is a solid game. 5 stars imo. And this is not because you reviewed my game with care, this is because Vikings is really a good game. :)
The audio worked nicely eluding to little fights taking place all over the map. The ritual sign was a great thematic way to do the summoning without clogging up the screen with excessive UI.
The background music was very nice but I feel it was a bit too laid back for the intense action that was taking place on my screen.
Great job!
