SOME OF THE LITTLE GUYS

Imps | a small goblin-like demon

Sprite | a very small fire sprite that moves around very quickly and is very fragile

these were originally only going to set buildings on fire, but the idea was scrapped for time

Hellhounds | fire dog

Goblins | small child-sized creature that is notorious for stealing stuff

Shadow Imps | dark, transparent, teleporting imps

these were originally planned to only appear at night on higher levels, but were changed due to gameplay changes

Hobgoblins | bigger imps that are in charge of regular imps

The screams the little guys make are very pleasing.

All-in-all a fun experience. The thing keeping it from being too fun is the lack of strategy. Under normal circumstances mana would have improved strategy, and it does, but it does so at the cost of fun.
I think it would be better if the game was a "Mow down thousands of enemies with a single click" sort of a thing.
Still pretty good though :)

It is a very unusual and atmospheric game, the visual is quite interesting, it looks stylish and funny! Good luck with your project, I would have played it more than once!!!

Ravaging a small town with imps and goblins is pretty fun, turns out. I like the little voice sounds the guys have, they are very pleasant to listen to. After the first level I figured I could keep killing the unarmed ones for mana and it became almost a little too easy, but overall a very pleasant and fun experience!

I really enjoyed this game. Great sound effects and art. My only complaint is it felt a bit too easy.

That was fun. I think there is a bit of strategy to it, and a timing in the last level in getting your dudes to survive long enough to do damage, not get killed, and keep a small crowd of your own alive. Sfx are also nice.

This game is a unique experience with stylish visuals and pleasant sound effects. The satisfying screams of the characters and the fun of ravaging a town with imps and goblins. It made me laugh several times! Gives me old flash game vibes

The game is very easy and maybe increasing the difficulty or adding more strategic elements to enhance the gameplay could make it very fun!

Honestly, nice job! This was a fresh game :D

Please can you vote on my game? :)
