Simple but consistent art looks great. Loved the basic mechanics. It seemed like the optimal strategy involved clicking as fast as possible. I think I'd have more fun if you couldn't click super fast and you had to think a bit about your next move.

I was trying to balance the game to allow for waiting and saving up bigger attacks, but I don't think I sufficiently nerfed fast clicking enough to force that style of play.  I was kind of hoping for a balance where you have to go back and forth depending on how things evolve.

The gameplay was fun and placing walls felt very satisfying. Sometimes I would lose without understanding why. If the bad hexagons reach your base you fail as I understand, but other times it didn't look like they had reached but I'd still fail, so that was a little confusing! But otherwise the mechanics are really solid and fun to play. Music also is very well done and fits well. Good amount of polish! Instructions were a little confusing in the first screen so I'd look into alternative ways of explaining gameplay.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld50\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/kurrik.itch.io\/hexattack","text":"Link"},{"url":"https:\/\/kurrik.itch.io\/hexattack","text":"Link"},{"url":"https:\/\/kurrik.itch.io\/hexattack","text":"Link"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/kurrik\/ld50","text":"Link"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T-NLi4old-w","text":"YouTube playthrough"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"83415","g_author":"1162695","g_event":"LD50","g_eventkey":"110","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"389464","g_title":"HEXATTACK!","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"498","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"288082","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"288082","n_urlkey":"389464","n_parent":"276397","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/50\/hexattack","n_slug":"hexattack","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"162695","n_created":"1649035842","n_modified":"1761412635","n_version":"887308","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD50","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":2,"author":162695,"body":"![screenshot01.png](\/\/\/raw\/78b\/72\/z\/4b356.png)\n\n**Your hexagons are under attack!**  Do you have what it takes to hold off the invading hordes while your hexes escape off-world?\n\n__Instructions:__\n - Gamepad suggested, but keyboard is supported.\n - Primary button (CTRL\/Space on Keyboard) activates your weapon \/ wall building. \n - Bigger attacks take longer to charge up. \n - Without a charge, you can still build walls to hold off enemies.\n - Destroy all the enemies or survive until your green hexes evacuate!\n - Multiple levels.
