Very fun! I got a bit worried when I started to get swarmed by enemies, but it turned out ok.
After about 2 minutes, I realized I had to move and find Santa- not just wait out the hoards.
My huge army and I got there in time and were able to take out the boss- but only just barely.
Did you make the sprites yourself? They are great!
Try adding a bit of shading- and you're golden!
The level up system worked well too.
The random names that your helpers get was a very nice touch.
The chat window that says when they die was great too.
Would have liked a helper that I could spawn that would collect coins and stuff for me, or to be able to increase the coin collection radius.
The game got pretty easy as I got more gold. Having the unit cost increase by the Fibonacci sequence would be a good way to balance that.
Eventually, I had more gold than I could spend.
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback :)
For some reasons I just saw your comment now.
Yep I made the sprite myself 😅 I'll check this lesson I think I did not explore too much the art lessons part, it's probably a good time for it now.
Nice idea for a helper, i'll keep it in mind.
Might also make it possible to increase the radius of collection.
Increasing cost could be a good idea as well.
Ah ! I am glad you liked their names and the dialogue box, I plan to incorporate a more developed Version of it for my main game, I think it could be cool.
