Loved the art, and the variety of enemies, characters and abilities. I wasn't sure if there was any reason not to spend all my gold on the castle, and all my summons. It would have been good to have meaningful decisions on how to spend those resources (or maybe I just missed something). Some audio would have added a lot. Nice job putting this together in such a short time!\n\nAlso, this gave me a laugh:\n\n![Screenshot 2024-04-15 at 1.45.24 pm.png](\/\/\/raw\/18b\/94\/z\/619d8.png)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1034474,"author_name":"LDJam user 388782","author_uid":"388782","epoch":1713193552,"text":"Very nice game!

Quite impressive for a game made in 48 hours by one person. It could be possible for you to make an infinite mode by just randomly selecting opponents so that there could be some amount of replayability (i.e., highest waves survived or something like that). It could also be interesting if your units didn't heal between waves so you had to use you resources to heal them thereby butting a limit on how long people can keep going.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1059098,"author_name":"foolmoron","author_uid":"foolmoron","epoch":1713414448,"text":"Very fun and pretty well balanced.

I found the only annoyance to be a large amount of extraneous clicking.
