Save Santa
Submission for the Game Dev Rocket Jam, Theme : Tiny Armies
Santa has been kidnapped by daemons! You have 6.66 minutes to find him before they kill him! Follow the road to the North to find out(WASD or arrows). You can hire soldiers with gold to build a tiny army(mouse click on buttons). Your soldiers level up when killing enemies and get better stats. You can also increase their stats further when you level up. Good luck commander, save Christmas!

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.
