But, Luck is quite necessary proceeding to next level...
Excellent job!
My poor fellows got a bit Halo Reach'd at the end.
Really loved the gameplay loop and the upgrade system gave it an satisfying amount of replay-ability!
Stellar work y'all!
Some observations:
* The music sounds weird, like there is a glitch
* I would like to have a fast-forward button because when there is a 1-on-1 hammer battle, it can drag for ~30s while they float around randomly
* I would make hp bars distinguishable because otherwise it's a mess with 10+ units on the screen, I can't tell whether we're winning or not
Other than that, it's a very good jam game.
I recorded myself playing the game:

the minimalistic art fits well with this.
