Well done I enjoyed my time playing it <3
Really well done
Overall great Game!
I really enjoyed the game, loved its chill vibe and the art style. Reminded me of my childhood when I used to cut out pictures of different animals.
This is a really nice well made game with some great visual design, a clean UI, a good audio design. I enjoyed playing however I don't feel the balance is quite right. Once you start losing a couple of units you don't have enough money to build back up to survive for many rounds, and this is compounded with each round your enemies get a lot tougher to fight so you keep losing units, which becomes a rapid downward spiral to defeat. This doesn't feel good especially if you end up losing a unit you've invested a lot of money into. I think there's probably a better way to balance the rounds (the early ones feel to easy the late ones too punishing) to make the engagement curve smoother, though I'm not quite sure what the solution would be. However you've clearly got a lot of talent working on this game so I'm sure with some more iterations you can figure it out.
This definitely feels like a solid prototype that demands to be expanded and built into a full game (there really aren't enough quality auto-battlers on the market right now) if you want to do so. I hope that you do continue to develop this, or take what you've learned into a future game. Great job, a really great game for only a weekend's work!
I've put it in my itch.io favourites, and I'm looking forward to going back for more games! Well done!
