I think you should be able to rotate buildings and if you have sent your creatures to one spot, instead of making them standing still they could bob around that point.\n\nAlso the first time I played wasnt very clear that I should had made a land next to the enemies since I used all my power before getting to the enemies.

I really appreciate the feedback, the nice words and criticisms alike.\n\nI wholeheartedly agree with the game being a tad too slow-paced. I believe the issue is inherent to the whole design of the game, especially the way the buffing statues work. I actually dislike the current design quite a bit and I'm trying to re-design parts of the game as a personal exercise (I've _never_ done anything even close to this :smile:). Maybe there's a post-jam version coming up!\n\n@ryu: Thanks!
