The opening screen and music sounds really nice. let's start. I remember seeing this game on my feet that looks really nice back then too. Cool openings. I know the Fire Nation attacked nice keep the life. Yes there's a well thank God yes a tutorial. Villagers look like fences. the zooming in zooming out is inverted for my perspective. okay. I understand the game let's put everyone to task and fishing. go Fish. my villagers unfortunately are not fishing. one of them is. let me select all maybe only one of them is fishing maybe yeah I can't get to my villagers to fish all at the same time only one of them is fishing oh no the enemy attacked and I had only created an additional fish okay my villagers defended it okay I guess I'll need one person can fishing this month the fishing person stopped don't stop no I can't get them to fish okay maybe I run out of fish okay I won't be able to do anything in time maybe in way for if I survive. I've lost hello that was fun
only thing is that before the last wave, some of my villagers couldn't be used to do anything? still, a great game :)
@james-kusardi that's the one I'm talking above, gotta get rid of it :D glad you liked it!
The art and the little worm like animations are so fun! :D Please fix this up and start charging money for it!!
Would have preferred right-click to give order like in RTS games. If you right-click in the tutorial you deselect your villagers and wouldn't be able to continue unless you try the middle mouse button. The map panning from middle mouse button feels inverted. I guess you made the game for touch screens rather than keyboard and mouse.
Clicking retry after losing didn't remove the retry menu the first time, had to click it again after the game had started in the background. However the second time I was defeated it got removed on the first try.
The into movie was nice, a victory movie would also have been nice. Being able to skip the intro when re-playing the game (after closing it) would have been a good timesaver.
Would have preferred people to not get deselected after an order. Movement logic seems to need a bit of work, sometimes they just stand still even though there is space at a workplace. Preventing people from standing on the exact same spot would have made things less confusing. One of my people got stuck in the rock (couldn't mine the rock).
Seems like you can build a tower on top of the fire but the fire renders on top of the tower. The people sure advanced quickly in technology, from stone towers to bomb mortars.
I really love the graphics, very simple, yet super effective. Managed to finish the game on my second try, so it was not hard to learn. Selection of villagers was sometimes a bit tricky, but manageable. The random island are a very nice touch that does make a small difference every playthrough. Awesome work!

Weird that everyone is saying the last wave was difficult and the beginning was easy. I had the opposite experience. Though I wouldn't count the first wave, as I'm not sure you can lose that one. I maxed out people on fishing asap and didn't have room to place towers by the end.
One thing that would be nice to see is the max number of people that can work at a resource. For some reason with the stone and wood node, it would let me keep adding people after it said it was full(if they were working, who knows). Also seemed like the people were not totally visible at times. Only other issue I noticed is the text is slightly hard to read in spots. Nothing too bad though.
Really though, wonderful game for 72 hours! It might be my favorite so far this jam. I would totally be interested in a full length game based on this.
Once I figured out how to play I beat it on my 3rd try. You really do have to have everyone fishing the first two rounds and get that maxed out and then put people getting materials for towers. I'd love to see a post jam version with maybe more different types of materials and maybe even moving to different islands.
The only two glitches I ran into was having to press restart twice when failing, which wasn't a big deal. And the tutorial not working, which was kind of a bigger deal.
Very fun game! Just kind of wish there was more to work towards. Love the art and music
