I like the blend of collecting resources and building defences. It would be cool if the player had some other ability to help hold off stray enemies but still really fun and well executed game.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":808290,"author_name":"Constantine Pallas","author_uid":"constantine-pallas","epoch":1649305112,"text":"It's a cool idea, and I had fun playing it, but the controls are bad. It's almost impossible to walk just one block in any direction, placing objects is finnicky, I couldn't find a way to directly attack enemies, who mostly just seem to pathfind around defenses. The landmines are never worth it, and the blocks take 2 right clicks to place but only 1 left click to accidentally remove and destroy. You don't even get it back. I had to open and close the crafting menu a couple of times for it to work, even after getting materials. If you fixed the controls, I think this game would be a lot of fun, and a great base to build something on top of. I thought the music and graphics were nice, and this is a good use of the theme.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":808979,"author_name":"DesertMawTobi","author_uid":"desertmawtobi","epoch":1649320285,"text":"I like the graphics and the music!

I think this is partially because the player has such a slow start when switching directions. It's like they don't move at all until their walking sprite is at least 1 frame in. Diagonal movement is also noticeably absent.\n\nI like the concept of the game, and aesthetically it all fits together pretty well. I think if you modified how movement works you could have something really special.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":816142,"author_name":"LDJam user 234567","author_uid":"234567","epoch":1649442835,"text":"Good idea.

My expectation would be to move 1 tile if I tap the key, and keep moving tiles if I hold it down. It seems to have per-pixel movement, but in such a strict grid that isn't as helpful, as being only a half-tile in a direction you still cannot move if blocked by a dirt tile.\n\nI'd either move to a movement system that moves full tiles, or add a lot of movement smoothing for edges, so if the player is a few pixels off, they can still move around corners.\n\nNicely done!
