53 battles later; i had more fun than i would like to admit. Only reason i died lol i just needed to end the game, so i go back to my work.
Some recommendations of things i would like - hopefully you might like them to. These are not fixes just some basic "nice to have"
Save button maybe?
End-Screen Stats
A list of all the heroes you had (names)
Number of people they killed
High score maybe?
I got attached to one of my heroes and seeing him die without knowing how many people he rekt lol hurt my soul a bit. Leave a long names that i can't spell.
Instruction: so we know what stats affect what
To be fair, trying to figure it out was part of the fun.
I cannot wait to see what new stuff you add but like this. The game is pretty great.
It would be nice if after you lost it would show a quick screen with how many battles you won. I was nearing 40 but forgot to check the actual number before my last fight and it just went straight back to the start screen.
Yes, I know. It's planned. Also a screen after each battle of what each dwarf was doing (damage, healing, damage received, kills, [anything else?]). I'm working on it!
That sounds awesome! One other little thing that might be nice, is at the event selection screen if the battle options had a total bounty displayed at the bottom.
This game is pretty simple and fun. It has replayability becuase of it's RNG and the different builds I can try out. However, I got steam rolled in my 4th or 5th fight which is funny. Other than that it is a good demo that showcases the mechanics and the general flow of the game
I love the game! Rerolling needs a little tuning though, you can get stuck where you can't afford to buy anything, can't afford to reroll, and there are no battle options. Great otherwise!
Actually you should be able to still press the "Reroll" button if there are no Battle options available, even if you are out of gold. This is just not reflected in the UI yet.
I like the game a lot! My only comment is that it sucks to get to your third or fourth round, get defeated, and then have to start over again from scratch.
Yes, i know that this is a problem for now. In the future I want to implement an "exploration" mode and/or a passive skill tree/modifier tree which persists even if you have to start over. Imagine for example "your archers will shoot 1 additional arrow".
What you are playing here is just the early prototype for the core gameplay.
https://prnt.sc/KPadKC5JmAuH eventually it becomes a challenge to try to get as many dwarves over the limit as you can although they tend to die if you try to fight against any sort of shaman combination on an enemy team due to the firebird that kinda murks them all
also having more than 30+ speed is such a nice feeling lol, some of these characters are running faster than the firebird

Glad you liked the game!
Let me try to answer all your questions/remarks:
-Save game is planned. Will just take a bit longer.
-End-Screen Stats: I like the idea! At least displaying the total stats of a dwarf once he has fallen. I'll look into it.
-Getting attached to your dwarf: This is exactly what I was aiming for with this game!
-Instructions: For now the instructions are on my discord under #faq. I will add them into the game later.
The new update will come soon!
The only thing I think you need most rn is a game save system, but otherwise, it's a good game that I've been obsessed with for like a week. good job.
The game save system will hopefully be ready soon. Thanks for playing!
All i can think of is - give me an arcade version with unlimited money lol. Great game.
This update kicks ass, love it!

This will probably be added in the next update.
The game is fun ! This is a promising start. Will check again when there is a bit more content.
Glad to hear that. There are definitely plans for much more content.
is good

Thanks for the showcase video. It's about choosing your battles carefully (ok, and sometimes RNG just decides to steamroll you).

Thanks for playing my game!
I like that idea! Just died after doing well for several rounds so I am done for a while, but I hope you post on Reddit when it gets updated!
The game shows promise, but the reroll cost needs to be eliminated. Because of bad luck on rerolls, I was forced into a battle that I couldn't win.
Also, it's not clear what some items do. Is a water staff an offensive or defensive object? The tooltip needs to explicitly spell this out, please.
Thanks for playing. The reroll cost is there to enforce a more strategic thinking. The value can maybe be tuned.
Yes, item explanations will definitely be added!
Right now it seems that having a small offensive force + a ton of healing shamans is the way to go
Thanks for playing the game! Yeah, healing probably needs to be tuned down a little.

came back to play again and it's fun trying to get each dwarf to use something different (just a few dupes), mostly the staffs have been saving my butt though

Amazing to see someone get this far! Feel free to join the discord and provide feedback/suggestions for the further development of the game.
This game is pretty damn fun, I think you have a shot at making something very big if you polish it
This game is really funny! :D
