Nice concept, low how they all look like lil southpark characters!

Pros:
- Good concept
- Consistent Style

Cons:
- Controls are a bit glitchy
- pathfinding is a bit janky, leading to stuck soldiers

Nice atmosphere/ambiance too, feels really gritty! Great job!

Pretty okay game, the animation was fluid and there was definitely focus in setting the mood which I enjoyed.

The drag and drop was similar to an RTS's gameplay however I personally believe it could've been executed better.

What an incredibly dark rendition of the theme!

The music felt a little too joyous for the tone of the game and the control system could use use a little improvement.

Otherwise its a really good game!

Really love the music on this, it really sets the mood and fits the concept of the game. I think that the selection of units needs to visually show the player what area they are selecting. I also saw the pathfinding not completely working a couple of times. Nice game overall :D

Interesting game. Controls let down the overall experience tho. Having to select my troops every time I wanted to move them was annoying. Also the fighting left a lot to be desired, I felt I had little control over if I would win the encounter or not.

I like it although if there is one thing I want to point out is that the controls need some work. RTS would be nice.

The grande characters are OP. This is a good thing, I enjoyed bombing them.

Nice take on the theme

Great RTS game. WebGL supports right click and every other RTS game uses it.

Everything else works good and mood is great.

Good job!
