I think it's very difficult, It should be more balanced. Also, it would benefit to have some sound effects, as it makes it more engaging. Moreover, it should be clearer that enemies fuse, I didn't know what was happening with them. Also, at the beggining of the game, it' isn't clear where you have to put the buildings or the creatures. 

Pero vamos, que mucho animo, puede mejorar bastante con unos pequeños retoque y mejoras visuales. Si lo actualizas estaré encantado de volver a probarlo

Holy shit this is a good game. Totally a sleeper hit. Needs a bit more in terms of lore, gameplay, and story but the mechanics are fucking solid and tight. easy to learn, difficult to master.

This was a cool and fun game! I was really surprised about how fun it is! Not sure if this is going to be fleshed out into a full game but it would be dope if it is! I didn't get to the beast but I plan on playing again! Great job!

Wow! This game surprised me with how addictive it is. Easy to learn and hard to master. I very much recommend people play this. 

Also, devs, I played it on my stream, and other streamers watched and wanted to play too. If you had a storyline and maybe multiple battles and lore, this would be as big a hit as Inscryption. 

The mechanics are tight and work so well. Maybe an easy tutorial level then beating extra bosses who have themes, idk, it's up to you guys but, this has hit written all over it.

Thanks! This was an entry for a game jam, that's why it's not so polished and it's lacking some important features like sound & music haha.

We are thinking about releasing a full version of the game, people really seem to like it!

Thanks for commenting and for playing the game on stream! I'll have to check it out

Yes! Full version would kick all the ass. Please notify me if/when you do, I will 100% play it on stream and get it out there.
