I didn't get that I had to click and drag to move the camera - I didn't see that control anywhere and I thought the whole game was just the starting screen. I also wasn't a huge fan of the controls, with Space and 1 being spread fairly far apart for my hands. I think making the camera follow the player and changing the controls to something more conventional (like Z and X, or Q and E) would go a long way to making this game more accessible","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1051444,"author_name":"Bonemane","author_uid":"bonemane","epoch":1713320149,"text":"So much good feedback can't thank y'all enough!!

If there was a way to move the summoned helpers to nearby enemies without having to push them directly, then I think the game would've been significantly easier. I had a somewhat sustainable method going, surrounding my area with summoned blue helpers while I ran around collecting resources to summon summoners, but I eventually got overwhelmed by enemies. I think the gameplay could use some more development (maybe some quality-of-life changes), but 2 days is a tough timeline to balance out things like that. The game was neat.
