Siege of Greyridge Fort
The Siege of Greyridge Fort
The truce brokered by the Rudawa and Arcadia kingdoms has fallen apart! Rudawa has crossed the fragile border into the Arcadian borderlands, attempting to capture Greyridge Fort, a stretegic location for an offensive against the heartland. They have sent their best champion to take out the outpost and claim it for themselves. It is up to the brave defenders of Arcadia to hold out against this doom. Have you got what it takes to save our brave kingdom?
Good luck!

I think the game could use some more animations/visual feedback so that the player knows that things are working.
E.g.
-The enemy can flash red when hit by a unit
-Arrow projectile for the archer + a hit animation when in contact with an enemy
-Sword swing animation/radius for knight and patroller.
It would be nice if you could switch units via the onscreen UI/buttons (I kept accidentally pressing the buttons and spawning a unit underneath the button). Also I accidentally spawn enemies inside the walls.
But good job on the rest of the game, it's a bit slow but the mechanics work :)
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you gave it a go. It was a tough 48h, wish I could make it more fluid and easier to play.
Because you asked for improvements here are two of my suggestions:
- display a timer before the enemy spawns
- make it clear what is your units range
Good job on finishing the game for the jam!
Thanks for the ideas, unit range is definitely a core mechanic that I wish I had more time for. I appreciate you giving this game a go and happy jammin!
