What do you think?

Honestly, if you added more content (different kinds of maps, multiplayer/co-op possibly, or a story mode of somekind) you could probably make some money off of this game, if you wanted to.

Then again, I dunno what you could possibly add which wouldn't mess with the gameplay. It plays so perfectly as is, the mechanics are well thought out and the lighting is done up wonderfully, but with alittle more depth and a lengthier campaign (and maybe some variety to help with the length. though, as I said, I don't know how you could make the game stay as good as it is right now while adding this kind of content.)

If, of course, this was just alittle programming "doodle" and you don't intend to spend too much time on it, then ignore everything i said, other than that this game is well thought out, has excellent atmosphere, and is quite addictive for such simple idea.

Fun game :D simple and easy to just get used to, though pretty strategic and challenging. Keep it up!

One of the first games I've played on Gamejolt and I absolutely love it! Played until I unlocked everything and I'm trying to beat the boss now! Insanely addicting and I love everything about it!!

This is an easy winner for the gamejam. I've spent about two hours playing today. The ability to save and come back to your game was a huge appeal. Amazing attention to detail and everything just felt right when playing. If I don't see this on Steam in the next couple of months I'll be surprised.

Your game is awesome! Realy! Realy good! I love the sprites, the soundtrack, the sound effects. Its a realy good work :) Gratz! 5/5. You need to win this jam, :)
