You got a bunch of lil fellas. You can either send them to attack the oncoming foe, or have them rest or train.

Resting produces more of that color of Fella, training converts one Fella to the next stage.

--CONTROLS

WASD to move

Left mouse to Spawn currently Selected Fella

ScrollWheel or 1-5 to select Color.

E to rest

Q to upgrade

LShift to Sprint.

M to mute my terrible music.

(Loosely based on the Clay Soldiers Mod for Minecraft like 10 years ago)

I love the addition of a leader board! That's a fun thing to have in a game jam game. I think the upgrade/rest idea was cool, but I quickly ended up with a ton of reds and then the game became too easy. There wasn't any reason to have any non-red Fellas. Maybe different enemy types that require different color Fellas to destroy would help?

Interesting concept, took me a while to get hang of it, but once I did, it was pretty fun! Not sure if it's intended, but I think green Fellas blend with the background a little bit too much. I ran out of Fellas when I had a score of 83, but the game unfortunately bugged out and enemies couldn't hurt me, so, unfortunately, I didn't get to the leaderboards. Otherwise nice entry, good job!

Took a bit to figure out the mechanics but I think I get it now. Seems you can spam E to create units, found it pretty easy to run around dodging guys while doing that which was fun. Not sure if you were only supposed to be able to make them slower but it felt like it made the game pretty easy. How many waves are there?
