It took me a little while to figure out that I could click the pumpkin \"building\" to start building new units. Maybe a hint in the description would help.\n\nI noticed the game hangs for a bit when starting the level, but it recovers after a moment, so not a big deal. Sometimes my minions deselect and then start moving on their own back to the building. Maybe it's a mechanic, but I don't understand the logic behind it.\n\nThere is also no selection rectangle, which bugged me out more than it should.\n\nOverall, it looks interesting. I just wasn't sure what my end goal was while playing.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1162693,"author_name":"Derek Glennon","author_uid":"derek-glennon","epoch":1759794745,"text":"Mood and sfx are very charming.

The game could benefit from a bit better UI, as it clicking on units was a bit confusing at the start, and right clicking did not give any visual feedback at all. I also did not understand how I could stop the units from moving back to the pumpkin patch after they finished a fight, I would have much rather have them stay where they are.\n\nRegardless, good game, well done!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1164678,"author_name":"BorisFromMurmansk","author_uid":"borisfrommurmansk","epoch":1759826052,"text":"Units constantly bump into the main building. The game apparently doesn't limit frame rates, which is why it consumes a lot of energy. I also noticed that the camera speed depends on the frame rate. To win, you need to be as leveled up as possible, which is unclear.
