Today's progress

Core mechanics are basically complete, tomorrow we'll be adding some fancy stuff to make the gameplay loop enjoyable (including cards, achievements and highscore counter!)

By the way, be careful - even the cows are aggressive.

The gameplay's starting to look solid!

Tomorrow we'll be focusing on trying to create a balanced gameplay, tweaking values until they feel good and adding more effects to make the game feel responsive. There's still a lot of work left for the last day, but there's a good chance we'll finish it before the deadline!

The Un's Stable needs your help

Click here to play

The game is a turn based strategy with auto battler feature. Each turn animals will inform player about their move plans that will be executed on the next turn. Player can use cards to perform actions that will impact those decisions. Prevent destabilization from species extinction by keeping at least one animal of each species alive for as long as you can.

Our thoughts

Creating this game was a really great experience. We've had a lot of fun trying to figure out what directions should we go with the gameplay loop and had some scary moments when 12 hours before the deadline we were not sure if our game would be enjoyable. Fortunately, we figured out which mechanics were our bottlenecks and successfully changed them :)

I hope you enjoy our game, which I obviously recommend playing!

Time to play and rate the games!

I've already played some of your guys' games, many of them are really great, with a lot of hard work put into them! I'd recommend also playing our small tactical/strategy game The Un's Stable, where you have to keep at least one of each animal type alive, get rid of foxes and finish some quests. I hope you'll enjoy playing it :)

Uh oh, Un's in trouble!

Uncle Un's Stable is unstable and the world's peace is in danger!

...well, actually he just sucks at taking care of his stable, so he politely asks for your help :smile:
