Too easy

this game is too easy, but it is impossible or almost impossible to save up coins to buy a hero +- 2000 coins, so I suggest making some difficulty modifiers, with which the player will feel the difficulty and get more coins

Fun and unique concept but still early

Definitely has room to grow but what we have is fun to play. Do wish when your allies revive mid-match they went back to their original spot, gold and power ups despawn a little fast and walls wouldn’t sometimes hit for half your health bar. Still it reminds me of the classic snake game and while a little bare what it does have is pretty solid and worth checking out.

Good framework, but currently repetitive

I think this is a game that has a lot of room to grow.
Pros:
-Classes are unique, though I think something to make the level ups feel impactful both when they’re a follower and a leader would be great.
-World map is cute, art is good overall.
Cons:
-Gameplay doesn’t have much variation to it. Something incentivizing exploration (and maybe some more bigger, more linear maps) could help, as currently you walk in circles until you or the enemies die
-Attack hitboxes are very confusing. I’m not sure I actually ever fully understood WHY I lost health. More distinct visuals from enemies and a bestiary could likely help with this.

Better Nimble Train

Brings back the nostalgia of playing Nimble Train but without the paywall subscription half brick want now. Amazing game and will be following closely, can’t wait to see more character improvement and overall smoothing!

Could be great!

I think this has a lot of potential. Could be very addicting and fun. Just need to iron out some kinks!
